How is global climate change, particularly Ocean Warming and Acidification, affecting marine shellfish species, specifically scallops, in the Atlantic?

Using the outline and rubric below write a rough draft answering the question “How is global climate change, particularly Ocean Warming and Acidification, affecting marine shellfish species, specifically scallops, in the Atlantic?” You may add/change information and/or citations. Also, use this feedback bulleted below and make changes according to the suggestions. 

– Introduction – good choice to narrow research question to scallops – maybe restrict further to along US east coast? (again noting that climate change impacts could be very different in different parts of Atlantic Ocean).

– A subtle point that is potentially important (and I think discussed in Breitbart et al.): dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion mainly due to ocean warming in subsurface offshore waters, whereas DO depletion in inshore/estuarine settings is also strongly influenced by nutrient inputs.  Scallops may be a good choice in terms of examining the former.

– Main Idea 1 – Is there evidence that temp increase alone (separate from temp-driven DO depleition) is deleterious?  If so this may deserve more attention?  Also not sure why increased CO2 absorption mentioned here – that is mainly driven by increased in atmospheric CO2 rather than temp (like oxygen, CO2 is more soluble in cold water).

– Conclusion – be sure that your conclusions here objectively tie together points discussed (with support from references) under Main Ideas.
