“…For example, there was no effect on calcification rates, size or weight in juveniles of the grooved carpet clam Ruditapes decussates raised at pCO 2 of 1694 and 4245 ppm (pH 7.84 and 7.46 respectively), but mortality was reduced in acidified treatment (pH 7.46), possibly due to delayed reproductive development of clams preventing spawning in acidified treatments [69] as an energy saving survival strategy. Also in contrast to the other molluscs with mainly planktotrophic larvae, the lecithotrophic juvenile European cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, which hypercalcify, similar to some teleost fish and decapod crustaceans, showed no adverse growth or developmental effects with significantly more CaCO 3 accreted into cuttlebones [70] and eggs increased in weight [71] when raised at elevated pCO 2 . Of the few studies to investigate the synergistic impacts of elevated pCO 2 (600, 750, 1000 ppm, mean pH 8.02, 7.95 and 7.83 respectively) and temperature (18, 22, 26 and 30 °C), Parker et al [39] found impacts on larval development including reduced development, size and increased abnormality in D veliger larvae and spat for both Crassostrea gigas and Saccostrea glomerata were exacerbated as did Lischka et al [66] in the polar pteropod, Limacina helicina.…”
