The movement of the dentex, a fish living in rocky sea floors and marine lands in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, is influenced by the changes in ocean temperatures, according to a study carried out in the Medes Islands and published in the journal Scientific Reports. Regarding climate change, which brings higher temperatures, this behavioral pattern of the dentex, an apical predator in marine areas, could have an impact on the dynamics of the species and coastal ecosystems.
