A new study, published April 23 in Nature Communications, suggests this was triggered by a rearrangement of ocean currents set off by a minor amount of ocean warming — just half a degree Celsius.

The current can flow as swiftly as eight feet per second (3.2 meters per second), faster than even a strong swimmer can overcome, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Western-boundary currents, such as the Gulf Stream and the East Australian Current, carry tropical water and are preferred for targeting pelagics. The ephemeral nature of the famed canyons fishery off ...
