Climate change to drive fish away from tropics

Financial Express: Large numbers of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050 as temperatures rise, according to a new study that examined the impact of climate change on fish stocks. Researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada found that changing temperatures will drive more fish into the Arctic and Antarctic waters. Using the same climate change scenarios as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, researchers projected a large-scale shift of marine fish and invertebrates. In the...

Indo-Asian News Service: Large numbers of fish will disappear from the tropics by 2050 as the earth and the oceans get warmer and fish shift their habitat in search of cooler waters, a research found. Changing temperatures will drive more fish into the Arctic and Antarctic waters, the findings showed. "The tropics will be the overall losers," said co-researcher William Cheung, associate professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada. "This area has a high dependence on fish for food, diet and nutrition....
Scaletron Ton Cylinder Scales Help Oil Company Weather the Tropics

A major brand oil refinery located near the Caribbean Sea required scales for weighing ton cylinders of liquefied chlorine. The chemical is used in several specialty processes and in treating water and wastewater.<br /> <br /> Although the regional weather is influenced by the Gulf Stream creating a pleasing tropical environment with temperatures in the 70s and 80s, humidity often reaches 90% creating a potential for moisture damage to hardware and electronics. The Caribbean area is also a ...This story is related to the following:Controls and ControllersSearch for suppliers of: Process Controllers
Climate change will impact the tropics too: Study

Aaj Ki Khabar: Although greenhouse gases cause greater warming at the poles, few places on the earth will be immune to global warming and the tropics too will likely experience associated climate impacts, such as increased storm intensity, says a study. Tropical sea surface temperatures were warmer during the early-to-mid Pliocene - an interval spanning about five to three million years ago, the findings showed. "These results confirm what climate models have long predicted - that although greenhouse gases...

Hotter and larger tropics more vulnerable to climate change

Channel NewsAsia: Covering some 130 countries and territories around the Equator and situated between the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south -- the tropics is expanding as climate change heats up the earth, turning more and more countries into a hot zone. It is a growing concern and Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi has called for people to be better carers of the environment as she launched the State of the Tropics Report in Myanmar. She said: "I'd like this report to be...
