When the pH turn low (acidification) in salty-marine water so what change of the Hemoglobin dissociation curve? Is respiratory frequency of a marine fish increase when pH turn low than normal?
Thank you at all!

In acidic conditions (low pH) in marine water, the hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right. This means that hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen, making it easier for oxygen to be released to tissues. As for the respiratory frequency of marine fish, it often increases in low pH conditions as a compensatory response to maintain oxygen supply.
