PNG-AUSTRALIA-SCIENCE-CLIMATE-FISH


An undated handout photo received on April 14, 2014, shows a reef fish swimming in Milne Bay in eastern Papua New Guinea. Fish make risky decisions when exposed to ocean acidification, even becoming attracted to their predators, according to new research. The study of fish in coral reefs off the coast of Papua New Guinea where the waters are naturally acidic showed the animals took risks when exposed to levels of acidification predicted for later this century as the climate changes. "Fish will normally avoid the smell of a predator, that makes perfect sense," lead author Professor Philip Munday from Australia's James Cook University told AFP.
