...serious trouble, and they're getting worse. In new research presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Feb. 12, the marine ecologist William Cheung announced that climate change would have a devastating impact on the world's commercial fish and shellfish populations, including tuna, herring and prawns. Fish would flee toward the poles to escape rising temperatures, and many species would all but disappear from their familiar habitats. Many would not survive the transition - Cheung estimated that the Atlantic cod's distribution could drop by up to 50% by 2050 thanks...

...Oyster Herpes Virus type 1 (OsHV-1). That virus, has proliferated along France's Atlantic coast due to a mild winter and abundant rains that allowed ocean water to remain warm, scientists believe. Those same conditions have also created an abundance of plankton - a cornucopia of nutrition that the shellfish have gorged...
...cultivations in the Arcachon basin southwest of Bordeaux have been spared while virtually all others in France have seen most or all of their young oysters decimate. Experts will also look for reasons why a few individuals in those otherwise devastated populations survived. "Since we can't vaccinate shellfish, one way of protecting future generations is to use oysters that are resistant to OsHV-1 and generally more robust in reproduction [to produce] future oyster generations that may better withstand the virus," Renault explains...
