摘要: Ecological forecasts predict the immigration of boreal species into Arctic waters as one consequence rising sea temperatures. Here, we report finding Atlantic snake pipefish (Entelurus aequoreus) off western coast Spitsbergen at 79°N in August 2006. This syngnathid fish species, which was presumed to be confined south Iceland, has dramatically increased population size its core distribution area northeastern since 2002, probably response greater reproduction success due higher water We conclude that our is an indication predicted northward extension range species.
