Is Climate Change Interfering With Migration? Scientists Warn Of Grim Future
['Nicolae Bochis']
BGR - Industry-Leading Insights In Tech And Entertainment
In the U.S. Mid-Atlantic, scientists have begun observing how striped bass and its key prey, the Atlantic menhaden, are behaving differently as oceans warm.
Historically, striped bass spawn in estuaries such as Chesapeake Bay and the Hudson River.
As a result, the striped bass is now relying on aggregated baitfish off the coasts of New Jersey and New York during the fall.
The traditional mix of species the striped bass used to feed on is no longer available to them.
While we concentrate on observing how one species shifts its spawning and migration, we fail to understand the relation that's shifting between prey and predator.
