As the climate warms and the world’s oceans take up more carbon dioxide, those waters are becoming increasingly acidic, causing damaging corrosion to the shells of many marine species, including oysters. But some researchers hope that by locating certain genes in shellfish that are more adaptable or resilient to acidification, they can protect these vulnerable species… » Read More
