  1. THE LARGEST EVER ATLAS OF THE LIVING OCEAN This map is based on standardized range maps for 11,549 species. Go to www.aquamaps.org and click anywhere in the Oceans to see what lives there. 8,631 fishes, 118 marine mammals, 19 marine reptiles, 2587 invertebrates, 35 algae and more. Mapping Fisheries over Time Winners and Losers in the Future Ocean Mini-Project by Rainer Froese and Willi Weinrebe Global catch distribution of cod More Losers than Winners 1968 Change in area of suitable habitat between 2000 and 2050 for 342 marine fishes. Median loss of area is 6%, significantly different from zero. Polar and Tropical Fishes Lose Change in area by climate zone. For 43 deep sea species, the median change is not significant. Of five polar species, three lose 9 to 32% of suitable area. For 50 temperate species, median change is +2.3%. For 112 subtropical species, the median loss is 7% and for 132 tropical species the median loss is 9%, both significant. 2007 Contact Rainer Froese IfM-GEOMAR Duesternbrooker Weg 20 24105 Kiel rfroese.ifm-geomar.de www.ozean-der-zukunft.de
