So basically the fish are still there - but the penguins can no longer reach them.
It’s quite a good illustration of how even a tiny change in average temperatures can disrupt a food chain.

It's been freezing this year. The warm weather has only just arrived here in the past few days, mid June. There were cold days last week, I had to put a jumper on.
