温暖化問題のウソ!? 〜正しい温暖化研究のススメ〜

 

奥田 昇

 

 近代に始まった全球的な温暖化傾向が人間活動によってもたらされたことは、もはや疑う余地もない。そして、21世紀、我々は人類史上かつてない急速な温度上昇に直面しようとしている。その影響は、人間社会よりも一足早く、温度環境の変化に極めて鋭敏な変温動物である魚類に忍び寄っている。温暖化に伴う水温上昇は、魚類の生息分布域の変化にとどまらず、時として、局所個体群や種の絶滅をも引き起こす危険性を秘めている。しかし、魚類の温暖化影響を警告するエピソードの多くは論争の渦中にあり、その真偽を検証するのに十分な判断材料を我々はまだ持ち合わせていない。とりわけ、温暖化に伴う魚類の個体レベルの応答メカニズムや、温暖化を介した生物間相互作用の変化が魚類の個体群を変動させるプロセスには未解明な部分が多く、野外において魚類の温暖化影響を実証的に示した研究は極めて限られている。そこで、本セミナーでは、魚類の温暖化影響を報告する研究事例を総説し、その方法論上の問題点と今後取り組むべき課題について議論する。最後に、現在、演者が行っている琵琶湖在来魚イサザの温暖化影響に関する研究を紹介する。
