Rising temperatures are reducing the survival rate of the larvae of this iconic species that hatch in the Balearic Sea. The water in Algeciras Bay is scorching, and scientists are warning of a summer with more jellyfish and algae.
A study by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) has confirmed the vulnerability of bluefin tuna larvae to Mediterranean warming, because the rise in temperature reduces the survival margin of the offspring of this emblematic species born in the Balearic Sea. An international multidisciplinary team has published a new study that reveals that Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae (Thunnus thynnus) survive within a narrow temperature range, making th…
PALMA, 19 (EUROPA PRESS) An international multidisciplinary team has published a new study that reveals that Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae (Thunnus thynnus) survive within a narrow temperature range, making them one of the most vulnerable phases in the face of ocean warming. The work provides new data on the thermal limits of larvae, with average values of 31.7 °C maximum and 17.9 °C at least, as indicated in a press release by the Spanish Instit…
