Impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture
The capacity for absorption of CO2 is higher in cold polar oceans and therefore the process of acidification and the consequential reduction in the ability of organisms that produce exoskeletons from calcium carbonate to absorb calcium carbonate from seawater is higher in the Antarctic than in temperate regions Bellerby et al 2008 Manno Morata and Bellerby 2012
