Effects of ocean acidification and elevated temperature on shell plasticity and its energetic basis in an intertidal gastropod.
Common periwinkles had lower shell growth rates and less increase in shell thickness when grown in ocean acidification conditions, warmer temperatures, or both. Shells were also less pointed and [...]
Food supply and seawater pCO2 impact calcification and internal shell dissolution in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis
Blue mussels from the Baltic Sea grew less when raised for seven weeks under ocean acidification conditions and with limited food algae. Corrosion of the internal shell surface occurred at a [...]
Future oceanic warming and acidification alter immune response and disease status in a commercial shellfish species, Mytilus edulis L.
Ocean acidification and/or warmer temperatures may affect immune response, parasite abundance and diversity, and bacterial infection of blue mussels. (Laboratory study)
Effects of elevated temperature and carbon dioxide on the growth and survival of larvae and juveniles of three species of northwest Atlantic bivalves
Ocean acidification conditions and warmer temperatures reduced the survival, development, growth, and lipid synthesis of hard clam and bay scallop larvae. During the juvenile life stages, ocean [...]
Molluscan shell proteins
This article provides an overview of the most recent molecular data on the proteins of mollusk shells.
Interactive effects of elevated temperature and CO2 levels on metabolism and oxidative stress in two common marine bivalves (Crassostrea virginica and Mercenaria mercenaria)
Hard shell clams and eastern oysters exposed to moderate warming and ocean acidification conditions showed no sign of persistent oxidative stress. This indicates that long-term exposure to [...]
Effects of elevated CO2 in the early life stages of summer flounder, Paralichthys dentatus, and potential consequences of ocean acidification.
The limited available evidence about effects on marine fishes of high CO2 and associated acidification of oceans suggests that effects will differ across species, be subtle, and may interact [...]
The effect of carbon dioxide on growth of juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua L.
Juvenile Atlantic cod exposed to ocean acidification conditions for 55 days had reduced weight gain, growth rate, and condition. Growth trajectories of those living in medium and high [...]
Effects of ocean acidification on growth and physiology of Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta) in a rockpool-scenario
When a green seaweed was grown in tidepools for 31 days under ocean acidification conditions, it grew more and had slightly enhanced photosynthesis.
