| Summary: | Ocean acidification, a direct consequence of increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, has emerged as a critical area of concern within the scientific community. The world's oceans absorb approximately one-third of human-caused CO2 emissions, leading to chemical reactions that reduce seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and saturation states of biologically important calcium carbonate minerals. This process, known as ocean acidification, has far-reaching implications for marine ecosystems, particularly for marine organisms such as fish, whose migratory patterns are integral to the health and function of these ecosystems. ... |
