Given the observed increase in stock sizeand northward expansion of this species we chose an area “north” at the northern distributionrange west of Ireland and “south” on the main fishing grounds south of Ireland. We investigatedwhether temperature changes influence the growth and recruitment dynamics of this species.Growth patterns were similar between the two areas with distinct years of faster and slowergrowth. The relationship between adult growth and temperature in the “north” was not significantwhereas in the “south” the relationship was positive up to approximately 16 ºC and growth ratessuppressed in the years with temperature above that. Recruitment was positively correlated withadult growth the previous year and the relationships with various recruitment indices suggestspatial connectivity between the Celtic Sea and the Bay of Biscay. The age distribution in the twoareas are similar and although boarfish can reach a maximum age of >30 years the younger ageclasses dominate. The observed stock expansion is therefor likely to be a consequence of increasedrecruitment under climatic conditions preferable to the physiological capabilities of the species.
