Scientists have estimated that the massive removal of whales and seals from the Antarctic Ocean has diminished that region's capacity to support plant and animal life, including krill, and lowered its capacity to draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Les scientifiques estiment que la capture massive de baleines et de phoques dans l'océan Austral a réduit la capacité de la région de soutenir la vie des plantes et des animaux comme le krill et d'absorber le CO atmosphérique.
