Change in area of suitable habitat between 2000
and 2050 for 342 marine fishes. Median loss of
area is 6, significantly different from zero.
Polar and Tropical Fishes Lose
Change in area by climate zone. For 43 deep sea
species, the median change is not significant. Of
five polar species, three lose 9 to 32 of
suitable area. For 50 temperate species, median
change is 2.3. For 112 subtropical species,
the median loss is 7 and for 132 tropical
species the median loss is 9, both significant.
