Why are North Sea sandeels getting smaller? New study finds prey community shifts, not warming, likely drive size declines. A growth model shows how prey, temperature, turbidity, and early-life timing interact under climate change.

To understand effects of climate change on fish size we need to account for both direct physiological effects & changes in resource availability. Turbidity (via its impact on intake rates in visual foragers) may also impact sandeel size. www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...
