Research conducted at the University of Adelaide has shown that some fish species increase their
“Warm oceans absorb about a third of the carbon,released into the atmosphere as a result of carbon dioxide emissions, which leads to acidification of the oceans, ”- said lead author Professor Ivan Nagelkerken of the University's Environmental Institute.
“We know ocean acidification is negatively affectingon the behavior and physiology of many species. But we found that this temperate fish had larger sex organs in ocean acidification. This means increased production of eggs and sperm and therefore more offspring, ”added the researchers.
Global warming turns out to be faster than evolution
The group used underwater volcanicCO2 emissions to compare ecosystems with CO2 levels projected at the end of this century. They also took into account the genitals and fish populations that live at “normal” CO2 levels.
Researchers found that others, lessdominant fish species do not exhibit this reproductive yield effect, possibly due to their less competitive nature. “Some fish are good at coping with ocean acidification. However, more dominant species may even learn from climate change. ”
