Kelp Forests Under Threat From Acid Seas The kelp forests – those towering submarine tangles of brown seaweeds – may not survive the steady change of ocean chemistry. By Tim Radford Australian scientists have identified a risk to the kelp forests of the oceans, a new way in which carbon dioxide can change the world. Ever more acidic oceans could encourage weedy submarine grasslands to replace the rich habitats of the coastal kelp forests.

High CO2 to slow tropical fish move to cooler waters

Previous Next Newswise Under increasing global warming, tropical fish are escaping warmer seas by extending their habitat ranges towards more temperate waters. But a new study from the University of Adelaide, published in 2 emissions may make cooler, temperate waters less welcoming. “Every summer hundreds of tropical fish species extend their range to cooler and temperate regions as the waters of their natural habitat become a little too warm for comfort,” says lead author Ericka Coni, PhD student in the University’s School of Biological Sciences. “For at least two decades, Australian temperate reefs have been receiving new guests from the tropics.

Global warming is causing bigger fish sticks (if you know what I mean)

Global warming is causing bigger fish sticks (if you know what I mean) Talib Visram In the oceans of the future, some marine species may be, in a different way, big fish in a small pond. As humans continue to emit carbon dioxide, much of it ends up in the ocean; in 2017, the world’s oceans absorbed 2.6 billion metric tons of carbon, a 36% increase on the previous average. The acidity the extra CO2 creates in the water has consistently proven to be deleterious to the ocean ecosystem, destroying food sources and habitats, and is likely leading to the loss of some species altogether. But scientists have found that some fish are capable of prospering in acidic water and are likely to flourish in future oceans. That’s largely because the CO2 levels are causing their sexual organs to balloon.
