Seawater carbonate chemistry, and length and survival of Menidia beryllina during experiments conducted at Southampton Marine Station from 2011-2015

<p>The investigators show that the exposure of early life stages of a common estuarine fish (<em>Menidia beryllina</em>) to CO2 concentrations expected in the world's oceans later this century caused severely reduced survival and growth rates. When compared with present-day CO2 levels (~400 ppm), exposure of<em> M. beryllina</em> embryos to ~1,000 ppm until one week post-hatch reduced average survival and length by 74% and 18%, respectively. The egg stage was significantly more vulnerable to high CO2-induced mortality than the post-hatch larval stage.</p>
