Some Antarctic fish living in the planet’s coldest waters are able to cope with the stress of rising carbon dioxide levels the ocean. They can even tolerate slightly warmer waters. But they can’t deal with both climate change stressors at the same time, according to a study from the University of California, Davis.

Climate Change May Benefit Native Oysters, but There’s a Catch

Climate change may actually benefit oysters in California in the long term because they grow faster at warmer temperatures and are tolerant of extreme temperatures. But first they would have to survive a spike in oyster drills, a predatory snail that also grows faster in warmer conditions but that is less tolerant of extreme conditions, according to a study from 51�ԹϺ�� Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory.

Ocean acidification makes it harder for sea snails to escape from their sea star predators, according to a study from the 51�ԹϺ�� Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory. The findings suggest that by disturbing predator-prey interactions, ocean acidification could spur cascading consequences for food web systems in shoreline ecosystems.
