Ocean Warming Drives "Wrong-Way" Migrations of Bottom-Dwelling Invertebrates

Ocean warming is paradoxically driving bottom-dwelling invertebrates -- including sea scallops, blue mussels, surfclams and quahogs that are valuable to the shellfish industry -- into warmer waters and threatening their survival, a Rutgers-led study shows.
