Abstract: Ocean acidification (OA) and the resultant changing carbonate saturation states is threatening the formation of calcium carbonate shells and exoskeletons of marine organisms. The production of biominerals in such organisms relies on the availability of carbonate and the ability of the organism to biomineralize in changing environments. To understand how biomineralizers will respond to OA the common blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, was cultured at projected levels of pCO 2 (380, 550, 750, 1000 matm) and increased t… Show more

“…The growth of M. edulis was also reduced under ocean acidification laboratory experiments based on environmental conditions of an estuarine coastal Loch Fyne (Fitzer et al. 2015), similar to the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea and Loch Fyne have similar variability, as freshwater inputs into the catchments reduce the total alkalinity, pH, and carbonate concentrations, providing conditions consistent with early‐onset ocean acidification (Jansson et al.…”
