I am always obsessed with the ocean, even though I do not learn much about it. In awe, I admire all the creatures living in this unknown region. I followed some accounts that post information about marine animals like whales. I do feel disappointed and worried when I am viewing any news about the negative changes on them. Through this work I want to show that Arctic fishes are passively migrating to colder water areas as a result of climate change, and the fishery is affecting them as well. In creating this piece, I looked up references such as how climate change has affected the fishes and the species of fish in Arctic area. Thus, I accidentally learned about Arctic fishes. The following are the included fishes. (1)Arctic cod (2)grayling (3)Arctic salmon (4)grey trout (5)menhaden. In my work, I show some fishes swimming down into a deep water area, escaping from the overwhelming fishing nets, fishing boats and black smoke emitted by factory chimney. These stand for the climate change (warming) caused by pollution.
