Vancouver Island scientists breed oysters resistant to climate change impacts, focusing on ocean acidification.

Vancouver Island scientists at the Pacific Biological Station are working to breed oysters resistant to climate change impacts. Researchers Tim Green, Chris Pearce, and Clara Mackenzie aim to create oysters that can survive higher levels of ocean acidification and help prevent a collapse of the shellfish industry. They are also identifying relevant genomes responsible for the species' survival.
