Increased intestinal carbonate precipitate abundance in the sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) in response to ocean acidification.

Marine fish contribute to the carbon cycle by producing mineralized intestinal precipitates generated as by-products of their osmoregulation. Here we aimed at characterizing the control of epithelial bicarbonate secretion and intestinal precipitate presence in the gilthead sea bream in response to p...
