How climate-controlled growth flumes could help us explore unanswered questions about kelp and climate change

How climate-controlled growth flumes could help us explore unanswered questions about kelp and climate change

New equipment creates environmental conditions that mimic the projected future state of our oceans, allowing them play out “what if” scenarios for situations like climate change.

Fish that follow ‘gourmet diet’ more threatened by climate change

Fish that follow ‘gourmet diet’ more threatened by climate change

As temperatures rise, they will have difficulties finding the food they prefer and are more likely to disappear as they will not be able to adapt quickly.
