Mobile Ocean Acidification Treatment System (MOATS): a tool to test the response of Salish Sea species to changing carbon chemistry
Determining how species will respond to ocean acidification is commonly done by rearing individuals in water with controlled carbon chemistry. We developed the Mobile Ocean Acidification Treatment System (MOATS) as a low-cost, high-precision system for acidification experiments. Each MOATS aquarium...
