Fish take a flying jump as oceans heat up

I GOT a phone call from an excited friend of mine the other day.

He was on holidays and had been sea angling with his son in Ballinskelligs Bay in west Kerry. They had just caught two gilthead bream.

My friend has a keen interest in nature and has been fishing in these waters all his life but had never seen gilthead bream before. He had to use the internet to identify them when he got ashore. This is not surprising because they are a warm water species from off Spain and Portugal.
