Warming ocean temperatures are driving fundamental changes in marine ecosystems by altering plankton populations. Because plankton serve as the primary food source for numerous aquatic creatures, these shifts threaten to reduce the availability of nutritious food for fish. Consequently, marine biodiversity and global fisheries could face increasing pressure in the coming years.
