      Spisla, Carsten; Taucher, Jan; Bach, Lennart T; Haunost, Mathias; Boxhammer, Tim; King, Andrew L; Jenkins, Bettany D.; Wallace, Joselynn R.; Ludwig, Andrea; Meyer, Jana; Stange, Paul; Minutolo, Fabrizio; Lohbeck, Kai T.; Nauendorf, Alice; Kalter, Verena; Lischka, Silke; Sswat, Michael; Dörner, Isabel; Ismar-Rebitz, Stefanie M. H.; Aberle, Nicole; Yong, Jaw C; Bouquet, Jean-Marie; Lechtenbörger, Anna K.; Kohnert, Peter; Krudewig, Michael; Riebesell, Ulf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The oceans’ uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) decreases seawater pH and alters the inorganic carbon speciation – summarized in the term ocean acidification (OA). Already today, coastal regions experience episodic ...
    • Food web changes under ocean acidification promote herring larvae survival 

      Sswat, Michael; Stiasny, Martina; Taucher, Jan; Alguero-Muñiz, Maria; Bach, Lennart T; Jutfelt, Fredrik; Riebesell, Ulf; Clemmesen, Catriona (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Ocean acidification—the decrease in seawater pH due to rising CO2 concentrations—has been shown to lower survival in early life stages of fish and, as a consequence, the recruitment of populations including commercially ...
    • Growth performance and survival of larval Atlantic herring, under the combined effects of elevated temperatures and CO2 

      Sswat, Michael; Stiasny, Martina, H.; Jutfelt, Fredrik; Riebesell, Ulf; Clemmesen, Catriona (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In the coming decades, environmental change like warming and acidification will affect life in the ocean. While data on single stressor effects on fish are accumulating rapidly, we still know relatively little about ...
    • Ocean Acidification Effects on Atlantic Cod Larval Survival and Recruitment to the Fished Population 

      Stiasny, Martina; Mittermayer, Felix; Sswat, Michael; Voss, Rüdiger; Jutfelt, Fredrik; Chierici, Melissa; Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Mortensen, Atle; Reusch, Thorsten B.H.; Clemmesen, Catriona (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      How fisheries will be impacted by climate change is far from understood. While some fish populations may be able to escape global warming via range shifts, they cannot escape ocean acidification (OA), an inevitable consequence ...
    • Toxic algal bloom induced by ocean acidification disrupts the pelagic food web 

      Riebesell, Ulf; Aberle-Malzahn, Nicole; Achterberg, Eric P.; Algueró-Muniz, Marina; Alvarez-Fernandez, Santiago; Arístegui, Javier; Bach, Lennart T; Boersma, Maarten; Boxhammer, Tim; Guan, W; Haunost, Mathias; Horn, Henriette G.; Löscher, Caroline R.; Ludwig, Andrea; Spisla, Carsten; Sswat, Michael; Stange, Paul; Taucher, Jan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Ocean acidification, the change in seawater carbonate chemistry due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2, affects the physiology of marine organisms in multiple ways1. Diverse competitive and trophic interactions transform ...
