Climate Change Sees Fish Grow Faster in Warmer Water

Climate change is affecting the growth of fish, with those living in warmer, shallow waters growing faster and species in cooling deep ocean waters growing slower, according to an Australian study.

The research by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) found fish were growing faster in waters above a depth of 250 metres (825 feet) and had slower growth rates below 1,000 metres (3,300 feet).
