With all the talk about global warming and climate change recently , its easy to turn a blind ear to the struggles of fish and fisher men affected by the warmer waters. This article details the differences this could cause to people’s food, especially in the United Kingdom where they love their fish and chips.

Key Takeaways:

  • A new study reveals that as the UK’s waters warm with climate change, cold-water species such as cod are being driven out and replaced by warm-water species such as squid.
  • UK consumers enjoy eating quite a limited range of seafood, but in the long term we will need to adapt our diets
  • Following strengthened fishing management last year, cod numbers have begun to resettle, with biomass increasing to 295,000 tonnes last year.

“In 2025 and beyond, we may need to replace cod and other old favourites with warm-water species such as squid, mackerel, sardine and red mullet.”
