Decreased motility of flagellated microalgae long-term acclimated to CO<sub>2</sub>-induced acidified waters

Algal movement through the water column occurs to maximize photosynthesis and avoid predation. Increased CO2 concentrations are shown, from laboratory and field experiments, to reduce motility in algal species in fresh, brackish and marine systems.
