Carbon dioxide (CO2) that cause the sea turns sour cause ear fish grow big in size. Ear is not visible because the fish is in the body.

As in humans, fish ear also manage the movement. Oseanografi biologist, David M Checkley from The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, to experiment, rearing fish in the bass with the actual CO2 level six times normal. In fact otolit (ear bones) of fish to grow 15-17 percent larger than normal size.

Ago conducted an experiment on sea water with CO2 contents of 3.5 times normal fetus-fetus estimated CO2 in the year 2100-belly fish otolit was 7-9 percent. Further research is to know what the impact of long-term conditions in the fish.
