Long-term ocean warming steadily reduces fish biomass. Short-term warming and heatwaves create local winners and losers, boosting cold-edge populations (+176% biomass) but harming warm-edge ones (-41.6%). For every 0.1°C / decade increase in seabed temperature, biomass declined by 7.22% on average.
