Maximum length of teleosts

Studies have shown a decline in average body size for many species of fish in recent years. We rely upon many species for food and other consumables. Reduced sizes lead to reduced fishing yields. It is important to identify the cause of this trend. Could it be linked to increasing ocean temperatures or loss of habitiat?
