Marine and fisheries research
Marine and fisheries research is a research topic within Global and Planetary Change. Science Explorer counts 63k research works in it since 1950. 20.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the impacts of climate change on marine fisheries, including topics such as fish population dynamics, trophic cascades, ecosystem management, and the sustainability of global fish production. It also explores the influence of climate change on estuarine habitats and the use of otolith chemistry in understanding fish life cycles.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
