Scientists predict record ocean temperatures in 2012 http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1348236825
Canadian and U.S. scientists are predicting 2012 will set records for warm ocean temperatures on the eastern Seaboard.
Dave Hebert, a research scientist with the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, said temperatures off Nova Scotia in August were about two degrees above normal.
"We're actually seeing it in all the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Scotian Shelf all the way up to the Labrador Shelf. All warming up a couple of degrees," Hebert told CBC News.
He said the department of fisheries and oceans has not yet calculated temperatures for 2012, however he expects it to break records....
"When the fish migrate from fresh water, they will be entering a much warmer ocean with a more aggressive predator field so that the warmer it gets there would be higher mortality occurring on these stocks," said Friedman.
