Results from our study exploring bottlenecks on fish distribution was published earlier this year in Fish and Fisheries. The study identifies spatial constraints to population distribution at early life stages by characterizing both the consistency and extent of distribution with life stage. The effort explored six groundfish species across three marine systems and can be used to predict limitations to distribution shifts in response to climate change. The study was led by Lorenzo Ciannelli with collaborators Norway, Canada, USA and Russia.
