The transcript discusses the impact of rising temperatures on marine life. Traditional cold water fish catches in southern Europe are declining. A one-degree temperature increase could reduce farmed mussel production by 50%, and a four-degree rise could lead to a 70% decrease. North Sea species like cod and sole are swimming deeper, while squid populations are growing.
