Ocean acidification genetics - Genetics and genomics of response to ocean acidification

Published by Northwest Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 13, 2025 | Last Modified: 2019-06-10T00:00:00.000+00:00
We are applying a variety of genetic tools to assess the response of our ocean resources to ocean acidification, including gene expression techniques, identification of candidate genes, and application of genomics. The focus of this research is to determine whether or to what extent the responses of key marine organisms to ocean acidification are evolutionary or phenotypically plastic. At present, this research focuses on invertebrates such as arthropods (e.g., Dungeness crab) and molluscs (e.g., clams, oysters, mussels), but will eventually also include vertebrates (e.g., marine and anadromous fishes). Genetics and traits.
