Climate changes can produce various effects in ecosystems. Which of the following is a way that marine ecosystems can be affected by climate warming trends?

Climate warming is associated with changes in ocean chemistry, including ocean acidification, which reduces the availability of carbonate ions. So “decreased levels of carbonate” is the best answer. Decreased ocean acidity is the opposite of the expected effect, and fish populations do not generally increase as a result of warming.
