Crustaceans

When larvae of blue mussels were kept in ocean acidification conditions predicted for 2100 (pH 7.6) there was no marked effect on fertilization, development, [...]

Ocean acidification conditions interfered with the chemoreception, or “smelling”, that hermit crabs use to find shells and prey. The hermit crabs moved less, had lower flicking [...]

A species of copepod (Tisbe battagliai) had decreased reproduction and growth when exposed to ocean acidification conditions. Over time, these changes could result in smaller brood [...]

While ocean acidification may have some negative effects on the eggs of amphipods, exposure to low-salinity water is likely to affect the eggs more, based on ocean acidification trends projected [...]

In ocean acidification conditions (pH 7.7) embryos of an intertidal barnacle developed more slowly. Survival of adult barnacles dropped by 22 percent, and the mineral structure of [...]

 Ocean acidification did not have a major impact at the cellular level in the gill epithelia of green crabs. (Laboratory study)

 Adult copepods living in acidified water had lower egg production and hatching success. (Laboratory study)

The Arctic spider crab (Hyas araneus) appears to have a threshold of ocean acidification beyond which it fails to acclimate. In a 10-week experiment, it had a limited ability to adjust to effects [...]

Reproduction and larval development of two copepod species were sensitive to extreme ocean acidification conditions. The hatching rate tended to decrease, and mortality rate of young copepods [...]
