RE: New research suggests that freshwater sources is affected by the rising atmospheric CO2 levels, not just seawater
So does less daphnia mean more algae too? This is very concerning. Maybe biologists can produce daphnia in lab and put them back in our ecosystem? (sounds like a silly idea, I know.)
Yes, it probably means more algae since daphnia are one of the main algae grazers in many freshwater systems.
Breeding and releasing these into lakes sound like a huge challenge, and I'm not even sure it would work, since the chemical receptors are still going to be "blocked" when they get released into the lakes.
