Silvery gray bluefin tuna swim in a school from right to left in dark blue-green ocean water.
The new research concludes that sediment plumes extending far from the site of seabed mining could affect plankton abundance. Plankton support myriad other species and commercially important fisheries in the Pacific Ocean for tunas and mahi mahi. #CommercialFisheries #tuna #MahiMahi #FoodWeb
