Intense fishing pressure or low food supply may also contribute to smaller fish, but lead author Dr. Alan Baudron says concurrent size declines in different schools of fish points to climate change as a smoking gun. "What is interesting is this was detected across a range of fish species eating different diets, living at different depths, and experiencing different levels of fishing mortality," said Baudron.
