TL;DR: During embryogenesis, the calcification process appears to be particularly affected by low pH and/or the low CaCO3 saturation state of high-CO2 seawater, which suggests that future ocean acidification will have deleterious impacts on the early development of marine benthic calcifying organisms.

TL;DR: A survey of the existing literature on the effects of increased CO2 on fish is presented in this paper, showing that few studies were conducted under pCO2 conditions relevant to the future scenarios of ocean acidification.

TL;DR: It is tentatively concluded that cardiac failure is important in the mechanisms by which CO2 kills fish, and high CO2 levels near injection points during CO2 ocean sequestration are likely to have acute deleterious effects on both larvae and adults of marine fishes.

TL;DR: The copepod Acartia tsuensis appears more tolerant to increased CO(2) than other marine organisms previously investigated for CO( 2) tolerance (i.e., sea urchins and bivalves), however, the crucial importance of copepods in marine ecosystems requires thorough evaluation of the overall impacts of marine environmental changes predicted to occur with increased CO

TL;DR: In this paper, a circumpolar risk map of krill hatching success is presented for projected ocean acidification levels. But little is known about the sensitivity of Antarctic krill, a key part of the food chain.
