Western Baltic Sea fish face different risks from warming water, with cod and herring rated more vulnerable while sprat may be better positioned
Warming Baltic Sea waters are altering fish populations, impacting iconic species like cod and herring. These species struggle as their spawning needs become unreliable with changing conditions. Meanwhile, smaller fish like sprat and invasive species are thriving in the warmer environment. This shift will reshape local economies and the entire marine food web. Future changes depend heavily on global emissions reduction efforts.
