Effects of CO2-induced ocean acidification on physiological and mechanical properties of the starfish Asterias rubens
2013
The common sea star (Asterias rubens) appeared to withstand the effects of reduced seawater pH, at least for short-term exposures of 15 to 27 days, with no significant changes in the strength of its tube feet or the RNA/DNA ratio of its tissues. (Laboratory study)
