Spatial distribution changes of cold-water Zoarces fish biodiversity and inter-species ecological competition replacement under climate change scenarios

Key Points

• Biodiversity among cold-water Zoarces fish has shifted significantly due to climate change, impacting their distribution patterns.
• Observations indicated a notable replacement of inter-species ecological competition as a direct response to changing environmental conditions.
• This analysis incorporates spatial distribution data across various marine regions affected by climate fluctuations.
• Findings underscore the urgent need for effective conservation strategies due to potential future biodiversity loss and ecological shifts.
