Granada.- Large ocean fish, such as tuna or white shark, are at risk due to the impact of sea warming, mesothermic animals suffering a high energy demand to adapt to an increasingly hot water. A research paper published by Science warns that large mesothermic fish such as tunas, peregrine sharks or white sharks face a high energy demand and a growing risk of overheating due to the rise in ocean temperature.
