Sea Warms Up - Fish Populations Reduced

Warm sea make fish growth inhibited. Worse, it can increase stress even the risk of fish mortality.

The results of this study based on Australian research scientist who focuses on Morwong fish species in the Tasman Sea, between Australia and New Zealand.

The scientists found that fish growth in some areas Morwong slowing due to rising sea temperatures to two degrees Celsius over the last 60 years.

The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change reveals, in addition to fish Morwong, the effect of temperature change also affects other types of fish and coral reefs.

"fisheries sector will be a big loss," said Ron thresher from the research agency CSIRO.

As quoted by Reuters, "Through this research, we found evidence of slowing growth and stress fish to the fish reaches a threshold,"he concluded.
