Oceans around the world According to a new study, they have become darker over the past two decades, as a result of which researchers were afraid of their marine residents.
Professor Thomas Davis from the University of Plimut said in a study published in Global biology of changes The magazine is growing concerned about the sea ecosystem.
Satellite data from On the NASA Ocean The data portal showed that 21% of the oceans of the planet darkened in the period from 2003 to 2022.
According to Davis, most marine lives live in the photobiological processes of the ocean, where sufficient light penetrates the stimulation of photobiological processes.

A photograph that has a depth of 200 meters is where global nutrient and carbon budgets support planetary fish markets.
This is the area where the light passes Sea life It lives closer to the surface of the ocean.
These residents of the ocean rely on both Moonlight And sunlight for hunting, mating, reproduction and other important milestones.

The upper level of the ocean is where microscopic organisms and various types of plankton live.
When the oceans begin to get dark, it will force creatures that rely on the light, begin to approach the surface, potentially creating a cramped living space.
Using the satellite data and the measure of fading of light in sea water received from the algorithm, Davis was able to measure how deeply every photo zone was all over the world.
Among the gloomy oceans, 9% of their photos were 50 meters more small, and 3% of oceans cameras were 100 meters more small.

The reasons for the darkening of the oceans are far from the coast are less clear.
Global warming And, as it is believed, changes in ocean currents are involved in this phenomenon, according to the study.
Despite the total dimming, about 10% of the oceans, or 37 million square kilometers, has become easier over the past 20 years over the past 20 years.

Also found that most Coastal areas We saw an increase in light. Nevertheless, the study showed that this does not lead to a pure decrease in the depth of the photo American zone near the coastal lines.
Davis predicts that the consequences of the darkening of the ocean can be serious for sea foods, global fishing and carbon budgets and nutrients.
