How Abalone Genes Could Help Marine Life Survive Our Changing Oceans
A captive breeding lab at the University of California, Davis, is growing thousands of abalone. Researchers are looking at their genetics to understand why some are more resilient to ocean acidification. If researchers understand what makes some abalone more reslient, they can not only help the endangered species survive, but help other marine life survive into the future as well.
