Highlights
  • Shark teeth remain vulnerable to corrosion under future ocean acidification scenarios, potentially weakening their hunting tools.
  • After eight weeks, teeth in the more acidic tank suffered about twice as much damage, signaling cumulative deterioration with ongoing acidification.
  • Maintaining ocean pH near 8.1 could be critical for the physical integrity of predators’ tools like shark teeth, highlighting broader ocean concerns.
