Rapidly warm around Britain Highly visible change In our water species, construction Fishing Challenges and opportunities can affect what we eat in future.
British water is vulnerable to a sea heat, which has seen a record average temperature in the first seven months of the year, Analysis of meteorological data Done by BBC.
In May, an acute heatwave raised Britain’s water Up to 4CAnd the widespread effects of the global climate crisis indicate that such warming is likely to continue.
Experts told Independent Warming sea British water is bringing an abundance of new species, including jellyfish, spider crabs, sardines, ankovies, bluefin tuna and an unexpected flow of octopus.
Meanwhile, the number of brown crabs is below, and traditionally containing species such as cods and headocks are in low supply as they move north to north.
Mike Roach, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Federation of Fishermen Organization (NFFO) told Independent Climate change means “our sea changes”.
“We have a species distribution shift, we are looking at the growing number of bluefin tuna, and we have an octopus bloom that we are also looking at the south coast. All these potentially are associated with climate change and summer.
“This opportunity and challenges bring for our industry. Bluefin Tuna is a full opportunity. It is well controlled and regulated, fishermen are involved in scientific data collection and management proposals. Octopus is also providing a great opportunity. It allows fishermen to go to reduce their economic loss.
So are the UK’s National Dish of Fish and Chips in danger because hot water chases cod?
Professor John Pinnegger, Chief Advisor to Climate Change in the government’s maritime and freshwater science agency, said that Independent: “Most people do not realize that we have imported almost all the codes and headcocks we eaten in the UK. It is actually from the 1930s. It continues. It has been continuing. Many fish that we hold around the UK, such as mackerel and Langostine, are exported to further countries.”
He said: “So we import things that we like to eat from north to north, and we export the exports that we hold in countries in the south.”
However, the decline of cod around our shores means that the fish and chip shop menu are really landing, despite being able to import them to show them familiarity.
“We are usually looking at too much sephalopods – cutalfish, octopus and squad – the case has been in the past,” said Professor Pinnegger. “So around Britain, especially in the North Sea, fisheries are starting to target them as they used to do.
“Some of our traditional target species, such as Cod and Haddocks have been banned, so a lot of fishermen are fishing for squad.”
Squed and chips do not have enough ring, but experts have warned that the taste in the UK is limited to traditional fish species.
“The British people are tilted at the top five (cod, headock, salmon, tuna and shrimp), and we descend more than 50 different species in the UK,” said Mr. Roach. “If we were eating different types of species that are seasonal and are trapped in Britain’s water, it will offer these governance changes that we are seeing.”
