Research from Adelaide University has shed light on the effects of ocean acidification on reef fish. The study suggests that as habitats become less complex due to acidification, fish tend to form smaller shoals.
These smaller shoals may result in reduced social protection for the fish, potentially impacting their survival and social interactions.
The findings underscore the broader implications of environmental changes on marine life and highlight the need for ongoing research in marine biology.
