Oysters and acidification
Oysters, like many bivalves, are important for marine ecosystems. The organisms filter water through their feathered gills, removing impurities as they inhale and exhale. In fact, native and invasive bivalves might filter the entire volume of the San Francisco Bay every 3-4 days! However, oysters around the world are threatened by ocean acidification. The acidity […]
