Rising Sea Temperatures of Fish Mortality

A study shows that rising sea temperatures at random in some parts of the world are able to reduce the population, inhibits growth, increases stress and the risk of fish mortality. The study was based on peneilitan Australian scientists, who focused on Morwong fish species in the Tasman Sea, which lies between Australia and New Zealand.

The scientists found that fish growth Morwong in some areas has slowed down after sea temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius over the last 60 years in the Tasman Sea, one of the earth in the southern part of the level of the seawater temperature rises fast enough.

Effect of temperature changes also affect other types of fish and coral reefs, which causes a loss in fisheries sector. "Normally, cold-blooded animals respond to warm conditions with increasing growth as temperature rises,"said Ron thresher from the research agency CSIRO. "Through this research, we found evidence of slower growth and rising levels of stress in fish that live in the sea with a temperature threshold," said Ron.

Found a Lot of Ice in Mars' South Pole

NASA found that the south polar region of Mars has ice that are 30 times more than previous estimates. These findings suggest that the red planet was wetter than scientists previously estimated. By taking the data through the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists found an ancient carbon dioxide trapped in ice. These results add to evidence that Mars has an atmosphere with carbon dioxide and water are slim.

"Great ice mass has reached 12,500 cubic km, equal to the contents of Lake Superior, the largest lake in North America," said NASA. "Previously we already know that the thin levels of carbon dioxide in the ice surface of mars, but this discovery also adds information that the amount of ice that was there was 30 times larger than previously thought," said Roger Phillips of Southwest Research Institute in Boulder , Colorado.
