Figure 22: (a) Current (early 2000s) and (b) cli-
mate-shifted distributions of the small yellow
croaker
Larimichthys polyactis
(
Sciaenidae
).
The
climate-shifted distribution was predicted by a
dynamic bioclimate envelope model described
by Cheung
et al.
(2008), under a hypothetical
increase in average global ocean temperature of
2.5°C. Boundaries of Exclusive Economic Zones
are delineated by the dashed lines.
