Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Scientific researchers have warned that the marine snails in seas around Antarctica are being harmed by the persistence of ocean acidification. More importantly, experts have predicted that the average acidity of oceans across the planet will triple for the first time in 20 million years. Further scientific researchers have brought up evidence showing that the snails' shells are being corroded. And although the snails did not necessarily die, it increased their vulnerability to predators and infection which could affect other parts of the food chain. Immediately, scientific analysts have mentioned that the findings are significant for predicting the future impact of ocean acidification on marine life. Besides, a decline in pteropod shell mass would also reduce the ballast available for sinking pteropods inorganic and organic carbon to the deep sea, potentially disrupting the global carbon cycle. Also referred to as the pteropods, the marine snails are an important link in the oceanic food chain as well as a good indicator of ecosystem health...
