| 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. Thisprocess, known as ocean acidification, has far-reaching implications for marineecosystems, particularly for marine organisms such as fish, whose migratory patternsare integral to the health and function of these ecosystems. |
