Fish Go Deep to Beat the Heat


The rise in temperature due to global warming has caused the redthroat emperor fish to swim deeper in the reef. The fish swim deeper in the water to get cooler. If the fish don’t return to their usual depth, then the fishermen will have trouble catching them and need to rethink their approach. A research team studied multiple reasons for why the fish were swimming deeper. They considered rainfall, air pressure, wind, and temperature, but the only plausible explanation was the increased temperature. Global warming is effecting more than most people know. There isn’t a specific solution that could be used for this situation, but there are things that we can do to help. By doing things to lower our carbon footprint like using less fossil fuels and conserving resources, we can help better the planet. A barrier to this solution is that people have been trying to stop global warming for years and so far, they aren’t very successful. People are either too lazy or not educated about the problems to help the planet.
