Rapid sea ice loss and ocean acidification from climate change are altering the growth and nutritional value of microscopic ...

Over a period of 33 days, the researchers monitored the effects of alkalinisation on zooplankton, which plays a key role in transferring energy through the food web up to fish. A range of responses ...

The researchers aim to enhance the efficiency of the biological pump—a cycle that transfers carbon from the atmosphere to the ...

Microfibres that shed from washing clothes can harm or even kill zooplankton, reducing a food source for many types of fish, including salmon, according to a new study by Ocean Wise and the ...

In addition to being a crucial source of oxygen, phytoplankton form the base of aquatic food webs. Small fish, crustaceans, and zooplankton feed on phytoplankton. Those creatures are then eaten by ...

Accelerating the ocean's uptake of CO2 by increasing its alkalinity could mitigate climate change, but little is known about ...

The ocean naturally absorbs a quarter to a third of man-made CO2 emissions, but this process also leads to the acidification of seawater. By ...

will continue to shrink in size due to climate change that is depriving the fish of their primary food resource. Researchers say the species of zooplankton that the fish feed on is becoming ...
