Although it is widely known that global warming has a direct impact on our ecosystems, there is little information about its effects on oceans’ top predators, such as pelagic sharks and tunas. How does ocean deoxygenation brought about by climate change influence their habitat? And how do they adapt their behaviour to this changing environment? David Sims and his team at the Marine Biological Association Laboratory in the United Kingdom aim to reveal how climate change, oceans’ predators and fishing fleets interact.
