Tropical fish in WA Kimberley facing extinction from climate change, researchers say
2015-07-12 00:24:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Entire species of tropical fish could be wiped out by climate change, according to a research team that has spent months carrying out a study in Western Australia's north. The team from the University of Melbourne is looking at how sensitive freshwater species are to small increases in water temperatures. PhD student Matthew Le Feuvre said the results were cause for concern. "We're finding a lot of species are living potentially very close to their maximum thermal limit, so these species...

Small Cosmic 'Fish' Points To Big Haul For SKA Pathfinder
2015-07-07 06:23:36| rfglobalnet News Articles
A wisp of cosmic radio waves, emitted before our solar system was born, shows that a new radio telescope will be able to detect galaxies other telescopes can’t. The work, led by Dr James Allison of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia, was announced today (6 July) at the National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, north Wales.
Fish will have to find new habitats or perish if global warming is left unchecked
2015-07-02 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Climate change is forcing fish out of their current habitats and into cooler waters and many more species will soon be affected if climate goals are not met, say scientists. An international team of researchers compared the future of the oceans under two climate change scenarios. In one scenario, we limit atmospheric warming to two degrees by 2100, as outlined by the Copenhagen accord. In the other, we continue with the current approach, which researchers say would cause a…
Freshwater fish threatened by acidification
2015-06-30 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science: Acidifying ocean watera byproduct of increased carbon dioxide in the atmospheremesses with saltwater fish in a variety of ways. Rockfish become more nervous. Clownfish cant always detect predators, whereas the brown dottyback actually avoids the smell of injured prey. But it turns out that saltwater fish arent the only ones affected. Pink salmon reared in CO2-rich fresh water showed many of the same signs as their marine brethren, according to a study published today in the journal Nature Climate...
