Greenhouse Ocean May Downsize Fish, Risking One Of World’s Most Productive Fisheries
The last fish you ate probably came from the Bering Sea. The types of algae that support the Bering Sea’s extraordinary fisheries are not favored by conditions expected in 2100. A new study sheds light on the prospects for a “greenhouse” ocean, an overlooked but no less harrowing aspect of climate change. By 2100, warmer oceans with more carbon dioxide may no longer sustain one of the world’s most productive fisheries, say marine ecologists.
