Objectives
We aim to obtain a novel long term perspective and predictions on the impacts of climate change in marine ecosystems by developing biochronologies based on otolith increment widths of a suite of marine fish species, evaluating environmental and biotic drivers of growth variability and marine ecosystem productivity, and finally produce a ‘multiple lines of evidence’ approach integrating biological time series data of different taxa from the marine and terrestrial environments.
I
Develop cross-dated population biochronologies for marine fish species
II
Identify potential sources of growth variation and population productivity in marine fish species
III
Develop a regional-scale appraisal of how environmental variation drives system productivity in marine ecosystems
IV
Assess how environmental variation drives overall biological responses at a regional scale and how future change will affect ecosystems
