“Is that why we can’t get good garum these days?
The fish originally used doesn’t survive in the colder waters?”
I just watched one of those history/archeology shows. It was about the Roman city of Neopolis and the garum trade. Seems Neopolis was a garum production and shipping hub. 100 three pit production pits and counting.
They found several intact and unopened jars of garum. It had turned to dust but they sent the dust to a lab and it was determined that sardines were the preferred fish for the garum made at Neopolis.
Sardines.

In the book “The Little Ice Age” it’s pointed out that sealevels were feet higher than present during the Medieval Warming which followed the Roman cooling and preceded the Little Ice Age. Inland towns today were once busy seapots.

There has long been a great deal of evidence that it was warmer during the Roman Warming Period than either now or the Medieval Warming period, but not much precision in how much warmer - suggestions of 2-2.5 Celsius, but not a lot of confidence in the precise numbers.
There’s not been so much dissent on that issue, but a great pretending that it never happened.

Warmer waters mean faster growing algae and other green slimes.
Unless more things eat them.

Wow. I’m impressed! These guys know how warm the Mediterranean Sea was 2000 years ago, to the tenth of a degree.
Nope. Idiots doing unit conversions. 2C is 3.6F by calculator, and 2.7-4.5 by practical math.

Polar Bears like it colder
Polar bears probably like it a bit warmer, but are out-competed at higher temps.
