Red abalone side by side comparison (IMAGE)
Caption
The two red abalone in these photos are the same age. Both were raised under ocean acidification in experiments at the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory. Abalone that grew more slowly, like the animal on the left, had nearly twice the survival of faster-growing abalone, which were much more susceptible to the negative effects of ocean acidification.
