A man with a fish caught by noodling Map of the US states where noodling is legal in some form Enrique Serrano with a 60 lb (27 kg) catfish caught by noodling, on June 18, 2015. Noodling is fishing for catfish using one's bare hands or feet, and is practiced primarily in the southern United States. The noodler places their hand or foot inside a ...
Trout tickling has an ancient history. Aelian, a Greek writer of about 230 A.D., writes in his De Natura Animalium (as published in England in 1565): "If men wade into the sea, when the water is low, end stroking the fish nestling in the pools, suddenly lay hands upon and secure them."
Sea levels have been comparatively stable over the past 6,500 years, ending with a 0.50 m sea level rise over the past 1,500 years. For example, about 10,200 years ago the last land bridge between mainland Europe and Great Britain was submerged, leaving behind a salt marsh. By 8000 years ago the marshes were drowned by the sea, leaving no trace ...
Between 1901 and 2018, the average sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), with an increase of 2.3 mm (0.091 in) per year since the 1970s. [3]: 1216 This was faster than the sea level had ever risen over at least the past 3,000 years. [3]: 1216 The rate accelerated to 4.62 mm (0.182 in)/yr for the decade 2013–2022. [4]
A 2022 report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts sea levels along U.S. coastlines will rise, on average, 10-12 inches through 2050, which will be as much as the rise ...
Deep sea fish – Deep-sea fish is a term for any fish that lives below the photic zone of the ocean. Deep-water coral – The habitat of deep-water corals, also known as cold-water corals, extends to deeper, darker parts of the oceans than tropical corals, ranging from near the surface to the abyss, beyond where water temperatures may be as ...

More frequent marine heatwaves are linked to this. The rising temperature contributes to a rise in sea levels due to melting ice sheets. Other effects on oceans include sea ice decline, reducing pH values and oxygen levels, as well as increased ocean stratification.
