Scidev.net, a site looking at issues of science and development (they have a special South Asia edition) explains the story well at:
http://www.scidev.net/News/index.cfm?fuseaction=readNews&itemid=2057&languag
Scidev.net's headline reads: "Warmer Himalayas 'suffocates fish in Arabian Sea'". It says: "Reduced snowfall in the Himalayas, caused by global warming, is threatening marine life in the distant Arabian Sea, say researchers. The team, led by Joaquim Goes of the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, United States, says the phenomenon could also aggravate global climate change."
A serious subject indeed, with implications for all of us.
