  These climatic analyses were combined with genetic studies by US researchers at Duke University and the University of California, and ecological information prepared by UEA's Dr Phil Williamson and colleagues at the Institute of Marine Research in Norway.
  ...
  Dr Williamson said: "This research brought together a unique combination of expertise to show, for the first time, how marine species survived the last ice age.The study provides important insights into the large-scale genetic structure and population dynamics of cod.Such factors are highly relevant to fishery management under future environmental conditions, when warming seas may combine with over-fishing to give a ‘double whammy' impact on species' survival."‘Ice age survival of Atlantic cod: agreement between palaeo-ecology models and genetics' is published online at http://www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/proceedingsb on 14 November 2007.The authors are Grant Bigg, Cliff Cunningham, Geir Ottersen, Grant Pogson, Martin Wadley and Phillip Williamson.

  Oceans 2025 Science Coordinator, Dr Phil Williamson, said: "Tall Ships 2008 provides an excellent opportunity to promote understanding of the seas in our part of the world, the impacts of human activity and the implications of climate change for these amazing ecosystems - and for people living in coastal communities.

  "It is easy to estimate zooplankton levels on the ocean surface," added Williamson, the project coordinator.

  "That is an order-of-magnitude difference, and indicates something very serious may have occurred," added Williamson.

  Atlantic Fish Crisis May Be Due to Global Warming - [Cached Version]

  Phil Williamson, a UEA marine biologist coordinating the research, said that early findings suggested that levels of zooplankton were also dropping in the Atlantic, which could have an impact on the rest of the food chain.
  
  "The numbers seem to be lower than what we expect but it's very difficult to know what to expect when we haven't done a study like this before.It's early days but we have got some indications from some surveys that the numbers might have gone down a bit," he said.
  
  Cause Unknown
  
  Further studies were to be carried out as part of the project in a bid to confirm if the drop was climate linked or a coincidence."In six months to a year we will certainly be more confident in answering that," Williamson said."We want to know where they are moving to and where water currents are taking them."
  
  And although the cause of the decline is yet to be determined, its effect is sure to be another blow for the commercial fishing fleet.
  
  "If ocean currents change then zooplankton is going to change and usually where there are changes things suffer before they get better," Williamson said.

  'This is deeply worrying,' said marine biologist Dr Phil Williamson, of East Anglia University. 'We don't know why zooplankton numbers have plummeted, though global warming looks the best candidate.What is certain is that removing the bottom link from the ocean food chain could have profound and unpleasant results.'
  
  The study also shows that over-fishing may not be the only cause of the dramatic decline of the cod and herring in recent years, and that global warming is likely to have as big an impact on marine wildlife as it has on land animals and plants.
  
  The last major survey of zooplankton levels was carried out in 1963, and showed these tiny shrimp-like creatures were fairly common across the Atlantic.Four weeks ago, a team of British scientists set sail in the marine research boat Discovery to establish how levels had changed.
