Mola Mola Moving North in the Pacific
A 5,000-pound mola mola that washed ashore in Canada’s British Columbia, has scientists worried that population of oceanic sunfish are shifting into northern waters—a sign that the water is warmer in the north Pacific.
The area of warm water in the Gulf of Alaska where certain species such as the molas live is known as “the blob.” This blob of warm water has continued to grow in size in recent years, partly due to a lack of cold, windy storms to break it up.
The increasingly large patch of warm water has also brought sightings of traditionally tropical species, such as mackerel and Humboldt squid. More information in the original article on Global News.ca.
