Pivotal Octopus, Ocean Acidity Study Attracts International Media

At times using innovative equipment they engineered themselves, marine biologists Lloyd Trueblood, an associate biology professor at La Sierra University in Riverside, California, and Kirt Onthank, an associate biology professor at Walla Walla University (WWU) in Walla Walla, Washington, analyzed the East Pacific ruby octopus or Octopus rubescens in one- and five-week studies at WWU’s collaborative Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory. It was the first analysis of octopus that compared short and long-term effects of seawater acidified through increased carbon dioxide levels.
