Sorry, but could you back up your statements with facts? This sounds to me as a rather generic statement.
I have no idea about the adaptive capabilities of tuna, nor do I know the actual change in pH values, or levels of chemical pollution.
Overfishing and the collapse of ecosymstems in the ocean is major factor (see also whales, sharks, etc).
- Ygg2 13y agoOf course. Problem is that ocean acidification (low pH) gives jellies advantages http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121231180617.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121231180617.ht... http://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/65/3/414.full http://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/65/3/414.full http://www.spc.int/oceanfish/en/publications/doc_download/728-pfrp-proposal-ocean-acidification-impacts-upon-tropical-tuna-populations http://www.spc.int/oceanfish/en/publications/doc_download/72... Though some analysis point that there are no benefits to jelly fish. http://aslo.org/lo/toc/vol_53/issue_5/2040.pdf http://aslo.org/lo/toc/vol_53/issue_5/2040.pdf Generally, from what I've heard, the global warming is already straining the metabolisms of the existing sea creatures to a breaking point. Problem is we need to a super sharp CO2 reduction right now, to just keep the climate as it is now (i.e. patterns of extreme weather) and hope to restore balance within 50 years. This is ofc based on simulation so God knows, how accurate it is...
- wuschel 13y agoHi, thanks for the papers! I will have a look on them.
