Abstract

At present, greenhouse gas emissions are continuously increasing in the environment due to human activities, and these conditions are responsible for global warming. Global warming has a negative impact on aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity. Global warming and climate changes adversely affect water levels; increase in the sea and a decrease in lakes as well as changes in annual precipitation and flow, have a negative impact on aquatic biodiversity, including plankton to aquatic mammals. Temperature is a major environmental factor that affects species distribution patterns and the relationship between global warming and biodiversity in aquatic environments.
