Climate change is transforming the distribution and changing the migration of marine species, the dynamics of which are critical for sustainable development and marine resource management. However, how Pacific Ocean squids, which have a one-year life span and great adaptation capacities and sustain more than 25% of world squid captures, respond to climate change is disregarded. We fill this information gap by building spatiotemporal generalised additive mixed models using hundreds of thousands of digitised Chinese squid-jigging logbooks from three Pacific populations of two squid species (Ommastrephes bartramii and Dosidicus gigas) from 2005 to 2018.
