SOCIOECONOMIC RISK FROM OCEAN ACIDIFICATION AND CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON ATLANTIC CANADIAN FISHERIES
Ocean acidification (OA) is an emerging consequence of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. The full extent of the biological impacts are currently not well understood. However, it is expected that invertebrate species that rely on the mineral calcium carbonate will be among the first and most se...
