Warmer Oceans May Lead to Smaller Fish, Study Finds

As climate change causes the temperatures of the world’s oceans to increase, the fish calling those warmer oceans home could become smaller, scientists say. This is due to warmer oceans having less oxygen, and bigger fish requiring more of it. This could lead to issues for the fishing industry, and to food insecurity.
