The study examines the projected changes in the habitat of anchovy in Korean waters under different representative concentration pathways (RCPs). The findings show that the habitat of anchovy will vary seasonally, with an increase in winter and spring and a decrease in summer and fall. This has implications for the management of fisheries resources under climate change.
Anchovy (Engraulis japonicus), a commercially and biologically important fish species in Korean waters, is a small pelagic fish sensitive to environmental change. Future changes in its distribution in Korean waters with significant environmental change remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined the projected changes in the seasonal anchovy habitat in Korean waters in the 2050s under three representative concentration pathways (RCPs; RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5) by using a maximum entropy model (MaxEnt). The MaxEnt was constructed by anchovy presence points and five environmental variables (sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, sea surface current speed, mixed layer depth, and chlorophyll-a concentration) from 2000-2015. Future changes in the anchovy habitat in Korean waters showed variation with seasonality: in the 2050s, during winter and spring, the anchovy habitat area is projected to increase by 19.4-38.4%, while in summer and fall, the habitat area is projected to decrease by up to 19.4% compared with the historical period (2000-2015) under the three different RCPs. A substantial decline (16.5-60.8%) is expected in summer in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea-main spawning habitat. This considerable decrease in the spawning habitat may contribute to a decline in the anchovy biomass, relocation of the spawning area, and changes in the reproduction timing in Korean waters. Our findings suggest that seasonal variation of the anchovy habitat should be considered to ensure effective future management strategies for the effect of climate change on fisheries resources, particularly for environmentally sensitive species, such as anchovy.
