Dolomitic lime will change ph, but only very slightly.

You need to apply lbs per acre rate as lbs per 100 sq ft before  Dolomitic
lime becomes a factor.
(aka The Gareth Rate)

I forgot where I put the data, but if I recall correctly
 it's 1 lb per 100 sq ft raises pH 0.1  Not enough to worry about.

Your fish emulsion will override that.
