Table 2. Comparison of the effects of elevated CO2 (440, 880 µatm) on interactions between a predator (Pseudochromis fuscus) and prey (Pomacentrus amboinensis) on 6 performance variables: (a) attack rate (b) predation rate (c) predator attack distance (d) prey reaction distance (e) ALT and (f) prey escape distance.
