0.33 degrees Celsius over 100 years. So let's guess at 0.1 degrees over the last 33 years. I'm a bit fussy about the climate in which I live. In fact even the weather causes me to flee or hide inside. But I cope with 0.1 degree temperature changes admirably. In fact, I can't tell the difference. But throw a 20 degree change at me as happens in Lovely London from summer to winter and I'm heading for a migratory A380 as autumn brings cold, dark, wind and rain.

Do you really think those fish are such delicate flowers than 0.1 degrees is enough to get them to move house?

0.3 degrees is nothing much at all, especially as the Little Ice Age was just ending back then so a temperature rise of about that should be expected.

If fish are migrating, it's more likely to be simple adaptation to new feeding grounds like polar bears becoming adapted to life in the snow in various ways, such as becoming white. Polar bears didn't go to live in the Arctic because the Arctic got warmer. Neither did Eskimos.
