The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the most important large-scale climatic oscillation affecting the North Atlantic region. The variability introduced by the NAO affects many meteorological parameters, including wind speed and direction, and differences in air temperature and rainfall, particularly during the boreal winter. The NAO is also known to affect the ocean by changing heat content, sea surface temperature, gyre circulation, mixed layer depth, salinity, high-latitude deep water formation, and sea ice cover. Consequently, the NAO has been widely used to analyze the variability of marine ecosystems. Several researchers found that fishery resources were teleconnected with the NAO variability, resulting in a significant relationship between this climatic oscillation and fishery yields. More precisely, the NAO affects the target species abundance, recruitment, catchability, and body condition. These effects can be cumulative over time and act synergistically. In this study, the available information about this topic is reviewed, and the importance of the NAO as a large-scale climatic oscillation in fisheries management is discussed using an ecosystem approach. We also discuss the possible effects of climate change on Atlantic and Mediterranean fisheries if this change were to affect the NAO pattern.

北大西洋涛动（NAO）是影响北大西洋地区的最重要的大规模气候振荡。NAO引入的可变性会影响许多气象参数，包括风速和风向，以及气温和降雨的差异，特别是在北方冬季。还已知NAO会通过改变热量，海面温度，回旋环流，混合层深度，盐度，高纬深水形成和海冰覆盖来影响海洋。因此，NAO被广泛用于分析海洋生态系统的可变性。几位研究人员发现，渔业资源与NAO的可变性是遥相关的，从而导致这种气候波动与渔业产量之间存在显着的关系。更确切地说，NAO影响目标物种的丰度，募集，可捕获性和身体状况。这些影响可以随时间累积并协同作用。在这项研究中，将回顾有关该主题的可用信息，并使用生态系统方法来讨论NAO作为大规模气候振荡在渔业管理中的重要性。我们还讨论了如果气候变化会影响NAO模式，那么气候变化对大西洋和地中海渔业的可能影响。
