A unique 24-year study on freshwater fish subjected to warm water pollution reveals alterations in growth and mortality rates, along with size modifications, however, the results don't completely conform to initial predictions. A new study recently published in the journal eLife challenges the th

The findings of this study directly contradicted previous predictions on how climate change will impact fish populations.

The findings contradict the theory that aquatic animals such as fish will shrink due to global warming  

The study found that warm water pollution increased growth rates but also death rates, resulting in a population of younger, but larger fish. The finding is at odds in part with general predictions of the effect of warming on natural ecosystems and highlights that these need to be tested in large-scale experiments.

A unique 24-year study of freshwater fish exposed to warm water pollution finds changes in growth rates, death rates and size, but not all in line with expectations.

A study published today in the journal eLife challenges the theory that global warming will cause water-breathing animals, such as fish, to shrink in size
