Do you picture a fish fillet, lobster bisque, or maybe fish and chips? These are some of the common seafood dishes you can find on the menu at your favorite seafood stop, but have you ever seen abalone steak on the menu? It used to be a common staple eaten up and down the California coast. Now abalone are almost impossible to find not only on the menu, but in the ocean. So why have these animals begun to vanish from our diet and seas? This is due to the many changing oceanic conditions including ocean acidification.<\/p>\n<p>Abalone have disappeared from our diet because the oceans have become too acidic, which has greatly reduced their population size. Climate change, driven by human emissions of carbon dioxide mainly from fossil fuels, is changing Earth\u2019s climate and altering ocean chemistry. One of these changes is ocean acidification, which is a process that makes the ocean more acidic because of an increase in carbon dioxide. Change in acidity impacts marine life like abalone by reducing population sizes through developmental deformities, shell dissolution, lowered reproductive success, and reduced survival. So why do we care about the impact of ocean acidification on abalone and their continued existence in our ocean? Besides their previous inclusion in our diets, abalone contribute to the ocean and to people in many ways.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><p> <a href=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/student-life\/2021\/04\/09\/abalone\/#more-21604\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kayla Roy, MLML Ichthyology Lab &nbsp; When you think of sea food what do you think of?
