Tropical fish caught in Thames
A tropical fish has been caught by a man fishing off Southend Pier. The exotic looking rainbow wrasse, a semi-tropical species normally found in the warmer waters of the Mediterranean, adds to the number of unusual species discovered in the Thames Estuary over recent years.
Experts claim that the rainbow wrasse discovery is yet another example of rising sea temperatures luring tropical fish into British waters. David Knapp, curator of the Sea Life Adventure Centre in Southend, said to PA News that he had never heard of a rainbow wrasse being found off the Essex Coast before and to find one so far north was a clear sign of the Thames Estuary warming up by about 3° Celsius. Experts believe that as long as temperatures keep rising, exotic fish will be an increasingly common sight along the British coast.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
