'Fish Storms' Nourish Marine Life
They're called "fish storms" because they curve out to sea and seemingly do little more than hassle a bunch of tuna, marlins and swordfish.
But as they churn over open water, tropical storms and hurricanes actually provide a strong boost to marine life by uprooting nutrients from the ocean floor and driving them to the surface, experts say.
That provides a banquet for everything from shrimp to sharks, as plankton dine on the nutrients, small fish gorge on the plankton and bigger fish feast on the little fish.
