Oysters exposed to high CO2-driven low pH produced a significantly higher proportion of female offspring than parents maintained at control pH. This phenomenon, termed pH-mediated sex determination (PSD), has no consequences for reproductive traits in the offspring and can inherit across multiple generations.
