TRUTH !!
Over the last half-century, rising ocean temperatures and overfishing have drastically reduced the world’s populations of tuna, shark, swordfish and other large predatory fish; populations of octopuses, cuttlefish and squid, meanwhile, have increased in number around the globe.
Yet again, humans may be the culprit behind a significant change in the world’s ecosystems and will ultimately have to adapt.
The population boom, according to a recent study published in the journal Current Biology, applies to tentacled sea creatures known as cephalopods – species that were once dominant millions of years ago, swim in the water layer just above the bottom and patrol large stretches of open ocean.
Although there is no definitive explanation for the rise in cephalopods just yet, the researchers noted that warmer temperatures – likely due to human-accelerated climate change – speed up the cephalopod life cycle, as long as there’s sufficient food available.
