Climate change disrupts phytoplankton blooms, leading to shrinking fish due to reduced food supply.
Climate change is disrupting phytoplankton blooms, which play a critical role in marine life, leading to rapidly changing and unpredictable blooms. The University of Tokyo study reveals that rising ocean temperatures are causing fish to shrink due to reduced food supply, as cooler, nutrient-dense water cannot rise to the surface, leading to increased competition for food. This has implications for managing ocean resources and fisheries under future climate change scenarios.
