Ocean acidification—resulting from anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere—has been shown to affect fish growth rates and reproduction. Now research shows detrimental effects of ocean acidification on the development of Atlantic cod larvae—a mass-spawning fish species of high commercial importance—suggesting that ocean acidification could cause additional larval mortality, affecting populations of already exploited cod stocks.
