Experiment Background: Squid is a keystone species, negative effects on them can have major consequences down the line. Nearly all of the animals in the oceans ecosystems either eat squid, or are eaten by squid. Squids not only have a vital role in our Oceans ecological community, but they also are important economically. Squid is a main source of food for the tuna and hake, two major commercially important fish. In 2011, fisherman harvested a total of $100 million worth of squid, thats 300 million pounds!
Numerous studies conducted show us that our Earths oceans are persistently acidifying. This has been a reality for more than one hundred and fifty years due to climate change. Climate change is defined by rising
