Climate change impacting freshwater fish species

New research reveals that freshwater fish populations located closer to the poles are excelling compared to their equatorial counterparts. Notably, large-bodied migratory species like Atlantic salmon are flourishing as rising temperatures create new habitats at the northern edges of their ranges. This compelling study analyzed an extensive dataset of over 10,000 time series and encompassed more than 600 species of fish, highlighting the significant impact of climate change on aquatic ecosystems.
