Climate change 'may shrink fish'
bbc ^ | Sep. 30, 2012 | Matt McGrath

Fish species are expected to shrink in size by up to 24% because of global warming, say scientists.

Researchers modelled the impact of rising temperatures on more than 600 species between 2001 and 2050.

Warmer waters could decrease ocean oxygen levels and significantly reduce fish body weight.

The scientists argue that failure to control greenhouse gas emissions will have a greater impact on marine ecosystems than previously thought.

I caught a 3 pound rainbow trout yesterday at a nearby lake. He’s currently in my smoker.

CLIMATE CHANGE FRAUD: Global temperatures have been declining for 2000 years when you don't use the fraudulent data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Can't the alarmists ever look on the bright side?

Smaller fish will take up less volume. That, in turn, will reduce sea level rise. :=)

Just last week we read climate change was making penis’ smaller

Don't think so -- that's the result of cold water. Go "global warming!"

Nonsense. Fish digest foods better in warmer water so any O2 related shrinkage would be offset by increases in body mass. Plus, the sex is better above 70 degrees F (this is highly confidential, nudge nudge, Felix the Comet Goldfish told me that. )

All this time I never noticed the tower in that pic. I thought it was a real pic of a manatee letting loose of some gas underwater. (face palm!)

But the fish is mostly water and should expand also. The liberals minds are shrinking, as usual. Independent of temperature.

LOL;-)

I ain’t wet a line since this spring. For some reason the bosses think fewer workers and six day work-weeks equal more productivity.

Fisherpersons will save money. They can buy 24% smaller hooks and test line.

Can I say fisherpersons? I don't want to offend any nonpersons.
