Ocean acidification, a direct consequence of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, is a pressing environmental issue that has far-reaching implications for marine ecosystems (Doney et al., 2009). The oceans absorb approximately one-third of the CO2 produced by human activities, leading to decreased seawater pH, a process known as ocean acidification (Rodriguez, 2012). This phenomenon has been identified as a significant threat to marine life, mainly invertebrates such as mollusks, echinoderms, and crustaceans, which rely on carbonate ions to build their shells and skeletons (Guinotte and Fabry, 2008; Doney et al., 2020).
