The study is to examine the dynamic relationship between the fishing industry and marine water pollution in 27 European countries ...
17 lut 2021 · Our research revealed that marine fish are ingesting plastic around the globe. According to the 129 scientific papers in our database, researchers have studied this problem in 555 fish species worldwide. We were alarmed to find that more than two-thirds of those species had ingested plastic.
Within Canada, most freshwater Species at Risk (a term encompassing government-listed species of conservation concern in Canada; Coristine et al., 2018, McCune et al., 2019) are located in southern regions of the country, coincident with concentrations of biodiversity and areas where human population densities are greatest.As urban waterbodies exhibit higher concentrations of pollutants ...
13 godz. temu · Climate change is altering the distribution of many marine fish species, with widespread impacts on biodiversity, with the potential to jeopardise world food security. Most studies to date focus on how commercially exploited fish species will be affected by climate change without consideration for different life stages across different species.
7 paź 2021 · Fish species in freshwater habitats are under threat worldwide due to overexploitation, pollution, species invasion, dam construction, and climate change (1–3). About one-third of freshwater fish species are threatened with extinction; 80 species were declared extinct in 2020 .
