Annotation- in this article, Australian and Indian scientists teamed up to identify the causes and impacts of so-called marine heatwaves like the devastating pulse of warm water that swept down the West Australian coastline in 2011. In doing so, scientists used floats equipped with extra sensors to gather a wider range of information on levels of oxygen, chlorophyll and dissolved organic matter. By doing this, "It will probably give us an idea of which year, in which place, we're likely to get strong amounts of fish production," Professor Trull said. In all, by detecting heat waves it will allow scientists to come up with a plan to migrate fish populations and increase them.
