Fishing under climate change: Dynamics of composition and structure of catches in the Russian Black Sea in the XXI century

Currently, the Black Sea ecosystem is undergoing significant changes, and that affects the dynamics of the species composition of catches. The main reasons for the change in the Black Sea ichthyofauna are considered to be: fishing, anthropogenic water pollution, invasion of new species, and the eff...
