As research shows, in times of climate change, the majority of fish populations are moving nearer the north and south poles, or to deeper waters than they usually would live in. Schools of fish migrate to such cooler habitats to cope with rising sea temperatures. The relocation of habitats affects whether fish can reproduce, how much they grow, and even how well they can digest their food. As an example, Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) populations have moved roughly 73 miles toward the Arctic. The image shows a split-view of a school of Atlantic cod swimming in cool waters. The lower two-thirds of the image shows a close-up view of roughly a dozen cod, which have a heavy body, a distinct pale lateral line, a barbel (whisker-like growth) on the chin, and three separate dorsal fins. The top third of the image shows an ice floe in freezing waters, with electric-blue, clear skies above. The image is an exquisitely detailed National Geographic quality close-up illustration. The style is a biological illustration with extreme scientific precision, drawn as line art in bold colors.
