Shrimp Fishing Banned in Gulf of Maine Due to Ocean Warming
2013-12-09 15:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Warming ocean waters in New England have caused shrimp populations to fall so low that shrimp fishing in the Gulf of Maine has been banned for the 2014 season. That means the small Maine shrimp sold by stores and served by restaurants will get scarce or disappear entirely. Often called bay shrimp or pink shrimp, the small tails are typically used in salads. The shrimp are often sold frozen and are available across the U.S. and around the world. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commissions...

Nervous Nemo: Ocean acidification could make fish anxious
2013-12-07 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Ocean acidification, which is caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere being absorbed into the sea, has made many worry because of the problems it will likely create, such as a decline in shellfish and coral reefs. But humans may not be alone in their anxiety: Ocean acidification threatens to make fish more anxious as well (and not because they are reading about ocean acidification on LiveScience.com. At least so far as we know.) A new study found that after being placed for...
