Data and code for FishMIP global marine ecosystem model ensemble projections summarised by countries and territories and other selected marine spatial regions.

R code to extract and create data tables and summary plots of FishMIP mean ensemble projections provided are for percentage change in "exploitable fish biomass", which is a proxy for the biomass available to fisheries, consisting of marine animals spanning the size range 10 g to 100 kg: this is typically dominated by fish, but is also inclusive of other animals such as crustaceans and cephalopods.

This release contains scripts and summary data for producing figures in Part A of the following report:

Blanchard, J.L., Novaglio, C., eds. (2024). Climate change risks to marine ecosystems and fisheries: Future projections from the Fisheries and Marine Ecosystems Model Intercomparison Project. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 707. Rome, FAO.

Where the column 'spatial_scale' refers to the type of aggregation:

FAO_area = High Sea areas grouped by FAO Major Fishing Areas

countries = Exclusive Economic Zones

countries_admin = Exclusive Economic Zones results aggregated into Administrative Countries
