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.

Few people realize that during the Jurassic Period, when CO2 levels were extremely high, the typical dinosaur was only 18” in height.
Tyrannosaurus Rex was only the size of a standard dachshund mix that walked on his hind legs because it had really short front legs, had a big fat tail but no fur, was kind of green in color, and would not retrieve squeaky toys.
All because of CO2. Global Warming scientists know this stuff. Because it’s like, science.
That’s true. Their remains expanded to their current size during the Ice Age.
Maybe they are acquiescing to Michelle Obama's admonition and just growing into smaller portions.
Obama promised to make the oceans smaller. Perhaps there is only room for smaller fish.
not 10% or 20%... 24%
83% of these numbers are made up (including mine)

This is basic psychics? What do the advanced psychics say? Never mind, they already know I asked the question.
The founder of our statistics bureau worked out that given average person growth over the last 1000 years, none of the viking combattants at the battle of Stiklestad could be seen over the grass and had to shoot their little arrows at random.
I have to take a shower but I’ll check the lexicon later. :)
Poor random. Someone’s always shooting something at him.
Whew! I was worried they would shrink by 25%, but since it's only 24%, we should be ok.

idiots, it has been proven that the unnatural selection of large fish is the case of small fish.
