Effects of Ocean Acidification on Alaska Fish and Shellfish
Downloadable, small color poster that summarizes the research on whether the effect of increasing ocean acidfication will affect different species negatively,positively, not at all, or whether the effect is still unknown. Each species is also characterized by its role in the marine ecosystem (e.g., predator, food web link, ecosytem engineer, chemical/nutrient cycling, habitat-forming
