University of Adelaide study finds rising ocean temperatures due to climate change may impair octopus vision, threatening their survival.
A University of Adelaide study indicates that rising ocean temperatures due to climate change could impair octopus vision, threatening their survival. Reduced proteins vital for octopus vision were discovered under projected ocean warming conditions, leading to increased predator risk and lower foraging success. The study also reported that future warming conditions negatively impact octopus broods, with high mortality rates and reduced hatching rates.
