Global warming to have major impact on ocean food web?

Answer 1

Global warming is having a major impact on the oceans food chain as well as every ecosystems food chain.
Animals, fish, birds, anything that is part of the food chain, including plants, are all affected by temperature. Everything has a temperature range that it thrives in. When those temperatures are changed, the organism becomes sick and it's numbers decrease. This means that the organism that required the other organism as it main source or nutrition will also suffer.
Thus, everything down the line is affected adversely. This can only be changed by man who is responsible for Global warming to begin with. We must change our ways or we threaten our very existence by altering the circle of life.

Answer 2

On more than the food chain. Global warming, along with pollution from developing nations, and thermal pollution in the form of heated water outflows from industrial concerns have led to "blooms" of red alge, a deadly micoorganism that poisons the water, and strips the oxygen from affected areas. The plant components of plankton are a major source of oxygen, so to endanger that, is to endanger a vital global force in our atmosphere.

Answer 3

BIG TIME. We don't know in what ways- yet. The Oceans are extremely complexed ecosystems, so it's gonna take quite awhile to figure out all the ramifications. But as the temperature of the Oceans rises, some fish, shrimp -etc., will die out, others may do well- & many will move to cooler waters where who knows WHAT may happen. All this will take decades, but in some areas- it's already underway...

Answer 4

Of course! In two different ways.

The ice caps are starting to melt now and many cold water fish are moving south ( and north from the S. pole ) but later they will have more ocean to swim in once California, S. Florida, and New Orleans are under water.

Answer 5

Yes...marine animals who are used to certain temps are going to be moving in search of them. The animals that feed on these marine animals will do the same, or risk starvation.
Some animals will die in the process, but many could adapt, since the process is not overnight.
This affects animals on land, as well...many eat fish!

Answer 6

Of course. People should start using solar energy and quit fossil fuel.
