The decrease in growth appears to be associated with increasing water temperatures, affecting animals throughout the marine food web.

An analysis suggests that a commercially important mass migration of fish may have no real adaptive value.

A modeling study estimates that by drastically reducing fish biomass over the past century, industrial fishing may be affecting ocean chemistry, nutrient fluxes, and carbon cycling as much as climate change.
