Ocean acidification erodes crucial auditory behaviour in a marine fish
Ocean acidification is predicted to affect marine ecosystems in many ways, including modification of fish behaviour. Previous studies have identified effects of CO2-enriched conditions on the sensory behaviour of fishes, including the loss of natural responses to odours resulting in ecologically del...

Ocean acidification is predicted to affect marine ecosystems in many ways, including modification of fish behaviour.
