Climate Change Reshapes Fish Populations in German Seas
Climate change alters fish distribution in the North and Baltic Seas; cod populations decline, while sea bass and seahorses increase; the stinger ray is now extinct, and the dogfish is critically endangered, according to a BfN report highlighting the need for stronger conservation measures.

Industrial Iron Pollution Alters North Pacific Ecosystem
A study reveals that industrial iron from East Asia, transported via the atmosphere and rain, is significantly altering the North Pacific ecosystem by boosting phytoplankton growth in spring, then causing nutrient depletion, impacting the area's delicate balance and potentially threatening fisheries...

Megalodon's Diverse Diet and Potential Extinction Drivers Revealed
A new study analyzing zinc isotopes in fossilized megalodon teeth reveals the extinct shark's diet was more varied than previously thought, consuming smaller animals alongside larger prey, and suggests competition with evolving great white sharks might have contributed to its extinction.

Barents Sea Seabird Decline Linked to Fishing and Warming Waters
Industrial fishing and warming Atlantic waters are causing a decline in predatory bird populations in the southwest Barents Sea, impacting bird colonies along the Murmansk coast, while populations in the Arctic remain stable; scientists propose a capelin fishing moratorium.

Germany to Remove Millions of Tons of Seabed Munitions
Germany plans to deploy an autonomous platform by late 2026/early 2027 to remove an estimated 1.6 million tons of decaying conventional and chemical munitions from its North and Baltic Seabeds due to environmental and health risks, following the discovery of carcinogenic chemicals in marine life.

Megalodon's Diverse Diet: Isotope Analysis Reveals Unexpected Hunting Strategy
A recent study using zinc isotope analysis of 18-million-year-old Megalodon teeth reveals a varied diet, including smaller fish and marine mammals, challenging the previous assumption of a whale-only diet and offering insights into its extinction 2.6 million years ago.

Whale Migrations: A Giant Conveyor Belt of Ocean Nutrients
New research quantifies how whale migrations, specifically their waste products (urine, feces, skin), transport thousands of tons of nitrogen and biomass annually from nutrient-rich feeding grounds to nutrient-poor tropical breeding grounds, significantly boosting ocean health and productivity.
