Warming Waters? Smaller Fish.

With climate change growing and environmental disasters continuing, it's no surprise that fish and other marine life are being affected negatively. Fish have responded to many small changes in negative ways but this may be the most negative of them all. When the water temperature changes due to recent higher temperatures, even by minuscule degrees, the fish can shrink down enormously due to low oxygen supplies in the water. While reading this article, I felt that is was quite upsetting to hear about because the fish not only allow other animals to eat, but they control other populations of species. If the fish become smaller and they begin to die off, the food chain will be thrown off balance leaving the waters everywhere full of algae, and full of other smaller species leaving no more food for the larger species that consume them. This is just one of the many articles about climate change and how it is negatively affecting the world and the species in it, and it will unfortunately not be the last.
