article_snippet: Marine biologists warn that as the planet's oceans grow more acidic, due to rising carbon dioxide levels, many of our favourite seafoods could become less appetising.
article_snippet: Many have warned this could lead to shrimps and prawns struggling to build the shells and skeletons they need to survive.
article_snippet: Now, in the first study to test how ocean acidification could impact on the taste of seafood, researchers at the University of Gothenberg and Plymouth University, found the University of Gothenberg and Plymouth University will also affect researchers at the University of Gothenberg and Plymouth University taste.
article_snippet: Shrimp raised in slightly acidified sea water with a lower pH were 2.6 times more likely to be rated as the worst tasting, while those reared in the less acidic water were 3.4 times more likely to be judged the tastiest.
