Wait, what?: "It is estimated that fish catches in the high latitudes, including the Arctic, could increase by 30 to 70 percent by 2055"

Arctic needs protection from resource rush as ice melts, says UN | Environment | guardian.co.uk

The Arctic needs to be better protected from a rush for natural resources as melting ice makes mineral and energy exploration easier, the United Nations' Environment Programme (UNEP) said. ... "What we are seeing is that the melting of ice is prompting a rush for exactly the fossil fuel resources that fuelled the melt in the first place," said Achim Steiner, U.N. Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director. ... Some countries have estimated that the Northern Sea Route would be turned into a shipping highway, with a 40-fold increase in shipping by 2020.  [Question:  Has anyone checked a calendar recently to see if the year 2020 is still, like, super-far away?]
There is also likely to be a boom in fisheries. A widely predicted northward shift in sub-arctic fish species, including Atlantic and Pacific cod, is now being detected. It is estimated that fish catches in the high latitudes, including the Arctic, could increase by 30 to 70 percent by 2055.
