11 ‘Acidified’ Water Threatens Marine Life: The other CO2 challenge
Affected are : Corals, calcareous phytoplankton, mussels, snails, sea urchins and all that have calcium carbonate shells or skeletons pH drop = less carbonate = difficult to secrete CaCO3 to form their skeletal material CO2 accumulation and lowered pH = acidosis in body fluids = lowered immune = metabolic depression = behavioral depression = drop in physical activity = asphyxiation = reproduction. However, the effects of ocean acidification on organisms and ecosystems are still poorly understood.
