As sea temperatures rise, many fish species will have to relocate to find waters that can support them. But they won't have a lot of time to look for the right new home. For fish, it's survival of the fastest. An international team of researchers examined over fifty years' worth of data dating back to the 1960s to determine the patterns of climatic and seasonal changes both on land and in the sea. Professor John Pandolfi of the University of Queensland summarizes their findings: "Our research shows that species which cannot adapt to the increasingly warm waters they will encounter under climate change will have to swim farther and faster to find a new home. We examined the velocity of climate change (the geographic shifts of temperature bands over time) and the shift in seasonal temperatures for both land and sea. We found both measures were higher for the ocean at certain latitudes than on land, despite the fact that the oceans tend to warm more slowly t...
