The present study showed short-term elevations in cellular metabolism, alterations in behavior and susceptibility to predation in juvenile rockfish after acute acclimation to CO 2 -acidification and hypoxic conditions. Physiological and behavioral alterations were restored after 3 weeks suggesting that rockfish possess mechanisms to defend rapid changes in P CO 2 and oxygen conditions.
