Impact of Climate Change on Fish Size and Marine Ecosystems

Impact of Climate Change on Fish Size and Marine Ecosystems

This video explores how global warming causes marine fishes to shrink due to oxygen limitations, as explained by the Gill-Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT). It highlights empirical evidence supporting these predictions and discusses implications for marine ecosystems.

Abstract Synopsis

  • The text discusses how global warming is expected to cause marine fishes to shrink in size, mainly because their gills can't supply enough oxygen as their bodies grow larger.
  • It emphasizes the Gill-Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT), which explains fish shrinking by pointing out that gill surface area can't keep up with the oxygen needs of bigger, three-dimensional fish.
  • The authors argue that empirical evidence supports GOLT's predictions of decreased fish size with warming, and no simpler alternative explanation for these biological features has been proposed so far.]
