Ingvaldsen et al.1 comment on our study assessing global fish interchanges between the North Atlantic and Pacific oceans for more than 500 species during the entire twenty-first century2. They propose that discrepancies between our model projections and observed data for cod in the Barents Sea are the result of the choice of atmosphere–ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs). We address this assertion here, re-running the cod model with additional observation data from the Barents Sea1,3, and show that the lack of open-access archived data for the Barents Sea was the primary cause of local prediction mismatch. This finding highlights the importance of systematic deposit of biodiversity data in global databases.< Réduire
