                         projected variations in atmospheric and oceanic circulation within 
                         the southwestern South Atlantic focused on basin-scale processes 
                         driven by climate change, and their potential impact on the 
                         regional fisheries. The observed patterns of atmospheric 
                         circulation anomalies are consistent with anthropogenic climate 
                         change. There is strong scientific evidence suggesting that the 
                         Brazil Current is intensifying and shifting southwards during the 
                         past decades in response to changes in near-surface wind patterns, 
                         leading to intense ocean warming along the path of the Brazil 
                         Current, the South Brazil Bight, and in the Rio de la Plata. These 
                         changes are presumably responsible for the poleward shift of 
                         commercially important pelagic species in the region and the 
                         long-term shift from cold-water to warm-water species in 
                         industrial fisheries of Uruguay. Scientific and traditional 
                         knowledge shows that climate change is also affecting small-scale 
                         fisheries. Long-term records suggest that mass mortalities 
                         decimated harvested clam populations along coastal ecosystems of 
                         the region, leading to prolonged shellfishery closures. More 
                         frequent and intense harmful algal blooms together with 
                         unfavorable environmental conditions driven by climate change 
                         stressors affect coastal shellfisheries, impact economic revenues, 
                         and damage the livelihood of local communities. We identify future 
                         modelling needs to reduce uncertainty in the expected effects of 
                         climate change on marine fisheries. However, the paucity of 
                         fisheries data prevents a more effective assessment of the impact 
                         of climate change on fisheries and hampers the ability of 
                         governments and communities to adapt to these changes.",
