Global warming is leading to “profound” population changes in most common fish species in waters off the UK, according to the first “big picture” study of rising sea temperatures.
Around three-quarters of the species affected have grown in numbers, the government-funded study claims.
While cold water-loving species such as cod and haddock fare badly, those that can do well in warmer conditions including hake, dab and red mullet are thriving.

If you have never heard of Uunartoq Qeqertaq, it’s possibly because it’s one of the world’s newest islands, appearing in 2006 off the east coast of Greenland, 340 miles north of the Arctic circle when the ice retreated because of global warming. This Thursday the new land – translated from Inuit as Warming Island – was deemed permanent enough by map-makers to be included in a new edition of the most comprehensive #atlas in the world.
