Effect of ocean acidification on fertilization success of Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis
Future impacts of ocean acidification on reproduction of exposed marine organisms with consequences at the population level still have to be properly analyzed and understood. For fertilization, eggs of echinoderms are directly released into seawater where the acrosome reaction takes place. Therefore...
