Ocean acidification impacts olfactory functions of salmon
November 20, 2017 By The Cordova Times Washington Sea Grant studies how acidity of ocean affects ability of cohos to find their way home Researchers at the University of Washington are observing in laboratory studies that ocean acidification affects a fundamental sensory function of coho salmon, which may impact
Assessment of the suitability of Durafet-based sensors for pH measurement in dynamic estuarine environments
November 2017 Highlights • We deployed a SeapHOx sensor package in a dynamic estuarine environment. • We evaluated Durafet performance over a wide salinity range (S = 3.25 to 29.33). • We evaluated Durafet performance over rapid pH fluctuations of >1 pH unit. • The sensor performed well (pH RMSE = 0.011 to
