Fitzer S (2019) The world's shellfish are under threat as our oceans become more acidic. The Conversation. 28.01.2019.

Abstract
First paragraph: For the past few million years the world’s oceans have existed in a slightly alkaline state, with an average pH of 8.2. Now, with carbon emissions escalating, there is more CO? in the world’s atmosphere. This dissolves in the oceans, altering the chemistry of the seawater by lowering the pH and making it more acidic – up to 30% more in the past 200 years. This growing acidification of the oceans is becoming a serious problem for the production of shellfish around the world.

Keywords
Carbon emissions; Scotland; shellfish; ocean acidification;
