Abstract
Plankton are unique sensors to climate change induced alteration in temperature, salinity and pH of coastal and estuarine waters. They are considered as one of the best proxies to understand the effect of climate change due to their very short life cycle, quick response to alteration of water quality and less exploitation by humans, unlike fishes. Hence the pulse of acidification can be clearly evaluated through change in plankton composition and productivity. The present chapter highlights how the community structure of plankton along with their productivity changes as an effect of acidification in estuarine water.
