International Conference on Ocean Acidification and Shellfish Biology
(ICOASB-26)

This session will explore the physiological and ecological responses of marine calcifiers to ocean acidification. Emphasis will be placed on the implications for shellfish biology and broader marine ecosystems.

This track will investigate the dynamics of carbonate chemistry in marine environments and its influence on marine biodiversity. Discussions will focus on the interactions between carbonate systems and biological processes.

This session will address the adaptive mechanisms employed by shellfish in response to climate-induced stressors. Research on genetic, physiological, and behavioral adaptations will be highlighted.

This track will examine the relationship between ocean acidification and overall ecosystem health, focusing on marine biodiversity and habitat integrity. The role of shellfish as indicators of ecosystem changes will be discussed.

This session will showcase innovative methodologies for monitoring ocean chemistry and biological responses to environmental stressors. Emphasis will be placed on the integration of technology in marine research.

This track will delve into the physiological responses of marine organisms to changing ocean conditions, including temperature and acidity. Research on metabolic rates, growth, and reproduction will be presented.

This session will focus on methodologies for assessing biodiversity in ecosystems affected by ocean acidification. Case studies highlighting shifts in species composition and community structure will be featured.

This track will explore the resilience of marine ecosystems to environmental changes, particularly in the context of ocean acidification. Discussions will include strategies for enhancing resilience through conservation and management.

This session will address the impacts of ocean acidification on aquaculture practices and shellfish production. Strategies for sustainable aquaculture in acidified waters will be discussed.

This track will highlight effective conservation strategies aimed at protecting marine biodiversity in the face of ocean acidification. The role of policy and community engagement in conservation efforts will be examined.

This session will promote interdisciplinary research that integrates oceanography and biology to address the challenges posed by ocean acidification. Collaborative studies and cross-disciplinary methodologies will be emphasized.
