Ocean Acidification: The Convergence of Science and Policy with a Concentration on the Sensory Ecology of the Eeltail Catfish Plotosus japonicus in the detection of pH
Ocean acidification is a growing topic of concern in the world today. It concerns marine ecosystems, coastal communities, livelihoods, and the global market. The goal of this paper is to analyze the chemical exchange of CO2 between the atmosphere and the Ocean. This is done in two spheres: the acade...
