Deep-sea fish communities at risk as ocean warms near South Georgia.
Deep-sea fish around South Georgia and Shag Rocks were studied in 2003. The researchers found that different types of fish live at different depths. Nototheniids were common on the shelf, while deeper waters had more gadiform fishes. The fish communities varied between South Georgia and Shag Rocks. This information helps us understand how the environment might change with warming oceans.
