Warming of the planet is making fish hungrier, which could wipe out popular types of seafood, researchers have warned.

As the ocean heats up, top predators will take control and gobble up smaller species, reducing their populations, scientists said.

The changes are expected to cascade down to transform other life in the ocean, threatening to disrupt balances that have existed for millennia.
