Measuring microplastic pollution in the marine food chain. Testing for levels of microplastic contamination in marine plankton aims to help develop new ways to assess and manage the rising global […]
Adapting to hypoxia: Zooplankton influence the efficiency of the biological carbon pump in the Humboldt Current off Peru. In the ocean, organic particles from the sunlit surface water sink to […]
Drifting crustaceans could hold key to climate change. The vast quantity of tiny animals in the global ocean could play a vital role in slowing climate change, scientists say. The […]
Explosion in fish biodiversity due to genetic recycling. Scientists show the extraordinary diversity of cichlid fish in Africa’s Lake Victoria was made possible by ‘genetic recycling’ — repeated cycles of […]
Climate change could affect the diet quality of fish by 10%. The diet quality of fish across large parts of the world’s oceans could decline by up to 10%, as […]
Jelly plankton blooms can offset as much CO2 as emitted by millions of cars. Humans continue to amplify global warming by emitting billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere […]
Norwegian herring extending feeding season. When the Norwegian Sea became warmer in the mid-2000s, the herring became both shorter and fatter. Now researchers have seen that the herring has changed its […]
