Salmon are Skinnier In Warmer Water
- "The study found that when the water is warmer than average – by only two degrees Celsius – young salmon consume 30 percent more food than during cold-water regimes. Yet they are smaller and skinnier during those warm-water years, likely because they have to work harder to secure food and the prey they consume has less caloric energy." - excerpt from Breaking Waves, Oregon Sea Grant's blog.
