World's Largest Ocean Predator-Prey Marine Event Captured Off Norway's Coast
In a first-of-its-kind discovery, MIT scientists observed a massive predator-prey event in Norway, where millions of cod pursued spawning capelin. The event highlights the critical role of capelin in the marine food chain, providing sustenance for predatory fish like Atlantic cod. However, as Arctic ice retreats due to climate change, capelin face ...

This Bizarre Sea Monster Shows How Strange Life Gets After An Apocalypse
A newly discovered marine reptile is giving scientists a glimpse into the wondrous feats of nature in the face of adversity. Sclerocormus parviceps lived about 247 million years ago - in the aftermath of the most devastating mass extinction we know of, often referred to as "The Great Dying." Some 96 percent of all species went extinct, and changes ...

El Nino Can Have Huge Impact On Marine Food Chain: Study
El Nino - the climate cycle that develops along the tropical west coast of South America every three to seven years - can have huge impact on the marine food chain with rippling effect on fisheries and the livelihoods of fishermen, says a new NASA study.

Food Chain Collapse Predicted in World's Oceans
The world's oceans are teeming with life, but rising carbon dioxide emissions could cause a collapse in the marine food chain from the top down, researchers in Australia said on Monday.

Up to 88 Per Cent of Ocean Surfaces Sullied by Plastic: Study
As much as 88 per cent of the open ocean's surface contains plastic debris, raising concern about the effect on marine life and the food chain, scientists have said.
