00:00The peces that live in the dark side of the ocean,
00:02that is where no light comes from below the 200 meters of depth,
00:06will reduce their size due to the increase of the temperature of the water,
00:10which would have significant consequences on the ecological level.
00:13So it would be a study led by the University of Vienna,
00:16in which participated in the Institute of Ciencias of the Mar,
00:18and that was published in this review.
00:20For this study, the marine biologists used otoliths,
00:24the formations geological of between 700.000 and 800.000 years old in Greece.
00:30They concentrated on the changes that experimented the peces linterna during the interglacial period.
00:34It is a group of small peces mesopelagic that receive this name
00:37for their capacity to produce their own energy.
00:39These peces contribute enormously to the carbon biological bomb,
00:43a natural mechanism that serves to reduce the carbon dioxide of the atmosphere.
00:46The microorganisms phytoplactonic absorb the CO2 of the atmosphere through the photosynthesis.
00:51For their part, each night, the peces linterna move to hundreds of meters
00:55to the surface of the ocean to feed themselves from the plankton
00:57and return to the plankton again,
00:59transport so enormous amounts of carbon dioxide from the surface to the lake.
