What is Pteropods at Risk from Ocean Acidification about?

Pteropods, or sea butterflies, are crucial for marine food webs and are threatened by ocean acidification, which dissolves their aragonite shells. This process occurs as increasing CO₂ levels lead to chemical reactions that reduce the availability of carbonate ions necessary for shell formation. The decline of pteropods poses risks to fisheries and disrupts carbon transport in the ocean.
