There are many other reasons that affect that not the least fishing.

  Pointing to one problem doesn't mean the other problems don't exist. Multiple problems will have a multiplier effect on each other. If there are five different reasons for fish population decline, and one of them gets worse, then the others may become magnified. If commercial fishing is governed by quotas then if there are fewer fish in the sea due to population decline reason 1, then "overfishing" will become a worse problem without re-adjustment of fishing quotas. Re-adjustment of fishing quotas won't happen if there's a prevailing attitude of "we can deal with dwindling fish populations".

    No one said that. I was responding to claim that made it about that when it's clearly about a lot of other things and thus the argument isn't as clear cut as it was attempted.

      Not sure where the other guy said it was clear cut. He merely stated some facts about what happens to water when it gets warmer - scientific facts, like what you've been asking for. The backhanded good news is that with fish populations declining, there doesn't need to be as much oxygen in the water...
