Marine Food Chains

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 - 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.

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.

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.

Huge amounts of dissolved iron being released into the oceans from melting ice sheets may cancel out some of the negative effects of global warming, a new study has claimed.
