Swordfish and loggerhead turtle spotted off B.C. coast are powerful new evidence of ocean warming

It seems the water needs to warm up so we get good pelagic fishing or cool down so we get good salmon fishing.


We report the 2nd occurrence of a warm water teleost predator, Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), in Canadian Pacific waters, and the first seen in coastal waters of British Columbia. A Swordfish was observed on 5 September 2017 approximately 20 nm (37 km) from the Brooks Peninsula, Vancouver Island, British Columbia (UTM: Zone 9, 560062 E, 5526365 N, WGS84) in above average water temperatures.”
