Ocean acidification can not only impact marine taxa directly, but also entire marine food webs and ecosystems. We used an ecosystem model for the Northeast US continental shelf to evaluate direct and indirect effects of responses to ocean acidification. The magnitude of projected impacts to shelled invertebrates was variable, but generally deleterious, consistent with other studies. Our analyses show that food web consequences of ocean acidification can extend beyond groups thought most vulnerable. Ocean acidification can ultimately impact fishery yield and ecosystem structure.
