AI Study Reveals Higher Extinction Risk for Marine Fish

New predictions indicate 12.7% of marine fish species are at risk, a significant increase from previous estimates.

Researchers used AI to assess nearly 5,000 previously unevaluated marine fish species.
The extinction risk for marine fish has increased from 2.5% to 12.7%.
Species with small geographic ranges, large body sizes, and low growth rates are most at risk.
Hotspots for threatened species include the South China Sea and the west coasts of Australia and North America.
The study suggests integrating AI predictions with current IUCN assessments to enhance conservation efforts.
