The Open acidification Tank Controller: An open-source device for the control of pH and temperature in ocean acidification experiments
Ocean acidification is the process by which the increase in atmospheric CO(2) causes a corresponding increase in seawater CO(2) and results in lowering the seawater pH. While this process is likely to have substantial impacts on marine ecosystems, research into the effect of ocean acidification has...
