Fig. 2. Projected changes in the intensity of marine extreme high-temperature events and decadal-scale changes in mean sea surface warming and their impacts on stock biomass and their maximum catch potential by country’s EEZs.

(A) Increase in SST, (B) percent of stocks with biomass declines that are below a threshold of −3.6%, and (C) maximum catch potential. The threshold of −3.6% is the average rate of biomass decline per decade across all the studied stocks that is due to decadal-scale mean change by 2041–2060 relative to 1986–2005 under RCP8.5
