Ocean acidification alters morphology of all otolith types in Clark's anemonefish ().

Ocean acidification, the ongoing decline of surface ocean pH and [CO ] due to absorption of surplus atmospheric CO, has far-reaching consequences for marine biota, especially calcifiers. Among these are teleost fishes, which internally calcify otoliths, critical elements of the inner ear and vestibular system. There is evidence in the literature that ocean acidification increases otolith size and alters shape, perhaps impacting otic mechanics and thus sensory perception.

Expanding our understanding of the trade in marine aquarium animals.

The trade of live marine animals for home and public aquaria has grown into a major global industry. Millions of marine fishes and invertebrates are removed from coral reefs and associated habitats each year. The majority are imported into the United States, with the remainder sent to Europe, Japan, and a handful of other countries.
