Israel fish deaths linked to rapid warming of seas
Bacterial infection alongside speed of temperature rise may have triggered mortality, suggests studyHigh temperatures and the persistent warming of oceans have triggered profound changes in marine ecosystems, but a new study suggests that the rate of onset of warming – rather than the peak – could also play a key role in the damage fuelled by climate change.In early July 2017, researchers were drawn to the coast of Eilat, Israel, following sight…
Study suggests abrupt ocean warming could lead to mass fish deaths
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Israel and one in Greece has found evidence that suggests sudden ocean warming can lead to mass fish deaths. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes their study of mass fish death events and what they learned about them.
