Researchers have found that fish around the world are getting smaller, and smaller fish are increasing in abundance.
Larger animals around the world are getting smaller, most noticeably fish, with smaller species increasing in abundance.
"In some locations, for example, smaller and smaller individuals of thorny skate fish are being observed, while smaller-bodied speciesare increasing in abundance," Inês Martins, lead author of the paper and macroecology researcher at the University of York, said in a statement. "Whether it's because of what humans prefer to eat, or their habitats getting warmer, big fish just can't seem to catch a break," Martins said.
"For other organisms, we have less data available and we don't really see any changes from the average [but] it is unquestionable that we are observing quite big changes in biodiversity and the type of biodiversity we find in different places," Martins toldStock image of a large flat skate fish. Scientists believe warming oceans could be to blame for fish getting smaller.Other smaller species of fish were also seen to have increased in population.
