It is claimed by the scholars that the ocean temperatures are affected by the climate change. In addition, there is a set of other effects of the climate change for the marine organisms - such as changes in the ocean chemistry, supply of nutrients, systems of wind and food chains. These factors make their impact on the abundance, distribution, breeding cycles as well as migrations of marine animals and plants. With the increase of the temperature, the animal and plants, which inhabit the ocean and seas, shift towards the poles. In such manner, the marine food webs are changed ...
