8 million km2 Yangtze basin, and it is the source of 40 % of the country’s GDP (Pittock and Xu 2010). For that reason, the Yangtze receives around half of China’s wastewater discharge (Dudgeon 2010), 2 Status of Freshwater Fish Biodiversity in the Yangtze River Basin, China 23 Fig. 4 The eastern, western, and central routes intended to transfer water from the Yangtze River to the north of China (Cite from Dudgeon 2011) and point-source pollution by sewage and industrial waste is compounded by nitrogen runoff (almost four times the global average) as well as phosphorus and pesticides from agricultural land and contaminants from vessels (Li and Zhang 1999; Xue et al.
Inland Navigation In large rivers or lakes under regular use as shipping routes, the issue of how disturbance induced by navigation affects fish assemblage has been often discussed. Wolter and Arlinghaus (2003) suggested a navigation bottleneck hypothesis (NBH) in which they mainly focused on chronic physical water movement which exceeds the fish’s swimming ability to counteract (Killgore et al. 2001; Gutreuter et al. 2003). Navigation also increases water turbidity (Kucera-Hirzinger et al. 2009), where chronic turbid water affects growth and survival rate (Sutherland and Meyer 2007; Rosso et al.
In this study, using both coarse-resolution temporal–spatial data obtained from a climate system model and the simplified indices of SST and Ωarag developed by Yara et al. (2012), we estimated the effects of both global warming and ocean acidification on the potential future habitats of corals under the high-CO2-emission scenario (SRES A2) and the low-CO2-emission scenario (SRES B1, Fig. 1) in the seas around Japan during the twenty-first century. Methods Study Area Japan offers a unique opportunity to study the effects of global warming and ocean acidification on corals because the archipelago covers a wide latitudinal range, stretching from subtropical to temperate areas in the East China Sea, the Japan Sea, and the Pacific Ocean (Fig.
