Climate change changes the world fishing map

A study published in the May 17 issue of Nature shows that global warming due to the effects of climate change is making fish find cold and deeper waters, synonymous with The fact that most of the fish caught in large fishing grounds recently is warm water fish.

Research by scientists from the University of British Columbia in Canada is the first study to show that the warming ocean has affected fish caught in fishing grounds for more than four decades.

Earlier, several other studies also showed that fish species are changing their habitats to adapt to rising temperatures. The general trend is that the fishes living near the equator move to colder waters.

The research leader, William Cheung, said to adapt to the new living conditions, the animals living in the ocean chose to migrate.

The northeastern United States is considered the ideal new habitat for warm water fishes. However, this change has led to negative effects.

The amount of fish caught in warm water fisheries decreased, leading to a reduction in profits and employment, adversely affecting the lives of fishermen, especially in poor countries.
