flag Whales in the Gulf of St Lawrence are switching from krill to fish due to warming waters, a study finds.

flag Fin, humpback, and minke whales in the Gulf of St Lawrence are shifting from krill to fish-based diets due to warming waters and declining Arctic krill, a 28-year study shows. flag Analysis of over 1,000 skin samples reveals reduced dietary overlap among species, indicating increased resource partitioning to lessen competition. flag While all three species adapted by targeting different fish, such as capelin and herring, no displacement occurred. flag Scientists stress that ongoing climate change and human activity threaten this balance, urging conservation efforts to protect the broader marine food web.
