Extreme long-term research shows: Herring arrives earlier in the Wadden Sea due to climate change - EurekAlert


<p>Due to the changing climate, young herring arrive in the Wadden Sea earlier and earlier in spring. That is shown in a new publication by NIOZ ecologists Mark Rademaker, Myron Peck and Anieke van Leeuwen, in this month&#39;s journal <em>Global Change Biology</em>. &quot;The fact that we were able to demonstrate this, was only due to very consistently, for more than 60 years, and continuously sampling the fish every spring and every fall with exactly the same fyke every time&quot;, Rademaker says. &quot;Recognizing this kind of change requires extreme precision and endurance!&quot;</p>
