a survey conducted by scientists at the university of california has found evidence of biochemical changes triggered by shifts and what's known as the biological carbon pump. this is the process fire which plankton and other tiny organisms absorb carbon dioxide dissolved in the see water when they're eaten by other organisms. the carbon converted by the plankton progresses up the food chain to small and then larger fish, which fixed the carbon in their feces. much of this inch deep down to the ocean floor where it remains for several centuries fewer fish and the sea however, means less feces and did decrease in the amount of c o 2 stored. the biological pumps, relevance to climate change, has enjoyed relatively little coverage to date. that's also because we can only estimate how large fish stocks were before industrial fishing began, and therefore also how significant their decline has been since then. the study assumes that stocks have been reduced by about half a figure that does not sound exaggerated in the eyes of fisheries, biologist, cuz the votes him on the side, the fuzzy apply it
