Fish are in trouble with the climate crisis, IPCC report finds
Overfishing makes the issue worse, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report said. Warmer waters hold less oxygen, and fish need that oxygen to survive. Oxygen deprivationThe open ocean is also losing its oxygen, between 0.5-3.3% between 1970 and 2010, the IPCC report found, and it's expected to get worse. Carl Boettiger who also studies global fisheries, said a note of caution about fish future is needed. Seafood many people love like Atlantic cod and certain salmon are challenged, and the continued climate crisis will not do these fish any favors.
