Xinhua News Agency, London, March 3 — A recent study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals that long-term ocean warming is causing a worrying decline in marine fish biomass.
Researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and other institutions analyzed estimated biomass data for 33,990 fish populations (covering 1,566 species) in the Northern Hemisphere between 1993 and 2021.
Biomass refers to the total mass of biological organisms within a specific time and area. The results show that long-term warming could lead to an annual decline in Northern Hemisphere fish biomass by as much as 19.8%. Even a temperature increase of just 0.1°C per decade correlates with a 7.2% drop in biomass.
The study also indicates that the impacts of short-term climate fluctuations and long-term climate change on fish biomass differ. On shorter timescales, warmer years and marine heatwaves can cause a sharp decline of up to 43.4% in populations at the "warm edge" of a species' range (the boundary closest to the equator). Conversely, biomass at the "cold edge" (the boundary closest to the poles) can surge by as much as 176%.

"The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is very important to transform Nepal from a landlocked to a land-linked country," said Krishna Prasad Oli, the Nepalese Ambassador to China, during a recent interview with the Belt and Road Portal. Oli said projects under the framework for Belt and Road cooperation between Nepal and China, such as roads, ports, transmission lines, information, and other connectivity, will be vital for Nepal in future.
