Studying fish diets opens a window into unseen interactions that sustain the aquatic world and shape the health of underwater ecosystems. Investigating a fish’s food preferences can reveal a wealth of information about its ecology; including predator-prey dynamics, how its dietary preferences may shift throughout its lifespan, and whether its diet and the food web in its habitat are changing in response to human development and climate change.
This Flashback Friday, see how the coho salmon’s migration patterns change in the face of climate change. A wealth of data about the past can make it easier to predict […]
The impacts of human driven climate change cast an ever-growing shadow of uncertainty over the future of aquatic ecosystems. Changes in water flow, temperature, storm frequency and severity, and habitat connectivity arising from climate change are just some of the challenges that fish populations face.
