September 19, 2019 — It’s not 20 questions—it’s even more: Now researchers have identified 100 pressing questions on fish migration.
An international team of researchers, lead by Robert Lennox at NORCE (Norwegian Research Centre), have developed the list of questions, published in a paper by the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
Fish migration is of high ecological importance, and many human populations depend on predictable migrations of fish for their subsistence and livelihoods.
At the same time, fish migratory behavior is under significant threat, Lennox and his co-authors point out.
To ensure a sustainable future, researchers therefore need to identify the pressing questions, and answer them in the years to come.
