Climate change may shrink the world’s fish

National Geographic reported on a UBC study that found warming temperatures and loss of oxygen in the ocean will shrink hundreds of fish species even more than previously thought.

William Cheung, study author and director of science UBC’s Nippon Foundation—Nereus Program, said “the body size of fish decreases by 20 to 30 per cent for every 1 degree Celsius increase in water temperature.”
