Thesis Abstract



Abstract

This study examines the effects of ocean acidification on local shellfish populations and coral reef ecosystems. Field research was conducted to measure the pH levels and carbonate concentrations in coastal waters and their correlation to shellfish larval development and survival rates. The chemical composition and structural integrity of coral reefs was also analyzed in relation to acidification levels. Through laboratory experiments, the vulnerability of different shellfish species to acidified conditions was tested. The findings provide insight into how ocean acidification may impact these important aquatic resources and the coastal communities that depend on them.
