Due to global warming the temperatures in the sea around Iceland has risen in the past years. As a result some new species of fish have become common is Icelandic waters. According to the Icelandic Marine Research Institute, the warming period began about 12 years ago causing fish that usually live further south to migrate north. Some of the new species are e.g. mackerels, haddocks and monkfishes. These news reported the daily newspaper Morgunblaðið in Reykjavik last week.
