Study: Decline of Baltic Cod Linked to Hypoxia, Climate Change
Researchers at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) found that hypoxia, driven by climate change is leading to the demise of Baltic cod.
Hypoxia is an oxygen deficiency that can occur in fish wish can make them smaller, and thus, less valuable.
"The cod themselves are telling us through their 'internal logbooks' that they're affected by hypoxia, which we know is driven by climate change and by nutrient loading," Dr. Karin Limburg, a fisheries ecologist at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse, New York...
