The potential interactions between toxic substances and ocean acidification can be approached from two distinct perspectives. Firstly, it is essential to consider how the responses of toxicants might influence ocean acidification by affecting the delicate balance of carbon dioxide. Secondly, we delve into the realm of environmental dynamics, specifically the anticipated shifts in conditions such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels due to climate change and ocean acidification. Of particular focus is the interaction between these changing environmental factors and the responses of organisms to toxicants, with a special emphasis on fish. Regrettably, a significant gap exists in the current body of research, where toxicological studies have seldom intersected with ecological and physiological investigations that examine how organisms respond to natural variations in temperature, pH, or oxygen levels.
