These fish used to be an unusual sight in northern Norway, but in 2002, they expanded their range pole-ward. Suddenly, people were seeing these “rare” fish in big numbers, likely due to changes from warming waters. This species is not alone in that distinction—scientists have seen plenty of range shifts in the face of climate change.
