Effects of Ocean Acidification on Phytoplankton Physiology and Nutrition for Fishery-based Food Webs
Rising atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are predicted to decrease the pH of high-latitude oceans by 0.3â0.5 units by 2100. Because of their limited capacity for ion exchange, embryos and larvae of marine fishes are predicted to be more sensitive to elevated CO2 than juveniles and adults. Eggs and larvae of walleye …
