Japan's largest marine DNA study has detected 126 fish species in waters further north than previously recorded. The nationwide mapping effort, based on environmental DNA, charts the distribution of Japan's fish in unprecedented detail and offers new insights into potential northward shifts in species ranges, raising concerns about how marine ecosystems are responding to warming seas.

Why now: The findings suggest climate change is pushing fish species toward cooler northern waters, a concern for fisheries and marine biodiversity.
