The effect of climate change-related environmental acidification on the growth, development and energetics of the early life stages of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)

As a consequence of increasing atmospheric CO₂, the partial pressure of CO₂ (pCO₂) in the oceans is rising, causing a decrease in pH and carbonate ions known as ocean acidification (OA). Since freshwater systems have the same potential for atmospheric equilibrium with CO₂, similar scenarios of acidi...
