An analysis and review by academics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have concluded that research conducted after 2014 into the environmental effect of ocean acidification on fish behaviour were overinflated and biased. The team, led by Jeff Clements stated that many of the studies showing great effects on fish behaviours were biased, resulting in “inflated results.” Ocean acidification is a product of climate change; around one-quarter of carbon dioxide released through greenhouse emissions are dissolved into the sea and increases the acidity of seawater. This can be problematic for some marine organisms such as coral and some plankton, which need basic molecules such as carbonate to form their skeleton and shells, when the seawater becomes more acidic, the carbonate of their skeletons become neutralise and therefore dissolves in the water. Additionally, among the many consequences of ocean acidification, studies prior to 2014 showed that it also had great impacts …
