We tested this hypothesis in adult California mussels, Mytilus californianus. We quantified shell dissolution rates as a function of periostracum cover across three levels of...

In this study, we investigated 1) the role of pH in sex determination (i.e., pH-mediated sex determination, namely,PSD); 2) the potential of PSD to be maintained across...

This study examines the effects of OA on embryonic and larval Pacific razor clams (Siliqua patula), a bivalve that produces a concretion during early shell development. Larvae...

To investigate the potential effects of increasing CO2 on otolith calcification of 9-day old pre-flexion stage yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), an experiment was conducted at...

Ocean acidification (OA) poses a major threat to marine ecosystems and shellfish aquaculture. A promising mitigation strategy is the identification and breeding of shellfish...

Three cohorts of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) larvae at Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery (WCH) in Netarts Bay, Oregon, were monitored for stable isotope incorporation and...

Ocean warming and ocean acidification, both consequences of anthropogenic production of CO2, will combine to influence the physiological performance of many species in the...

Extensive use of fossil fuels is leading to increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere and causes changes in the carbonate chemistry of the oceans which represents a major...

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are acidifying the world's oceans. A growing body of evidence is showing that ocean acidification impacts growth and developmental rates of marine...

Here, we used outdoor microcosm exper- iments to investigate the effec t s of abrupt limestone-inspired and NaOH alkalinity additions of ∼750 μmol/kg, reflecting model-predicted...

Iron (Fe) is a key micronutrient regulating marine productivity and the global carbon cycle, yet reconstructing the relative contributions of different Fe sources through time...

Iron (Fe) availability in the ocean is strongly influenced by external inputs, including atmospheric deposition, sediment dissolution, and hydrothermal fluxes. To investigate...

The Tara Pacifc expedition (2016–2018) provided an opportunity to investigate calcifcation patterns in extant corals throughout thePacifc Ocean. Cores from colonies of the...

Water samples were collected using Niskin bottles at six oceanographic stations in the northeast Pacific, from Station ALOHA to Resurrection Bay, during cruise CDisK-IV, on...

Ocean warming is altering the biogeographical distribution of marine organisms. In the tropics, rising sea surface temperatures are restructuring coral reef communities with...

Variability in pH is a common occurrence in many aquatic environments, due to physical, chemical and biological processes. In coastal waters, lagoons, estuaries and inland...

Heavy metals pollution in marine environments has caused great damage to marine biological and ecological systems. Heavy metals accumulate in marine creatures, after which they...

We evaluated the effect of pH on larval development in larval Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and blood cockle ( Arca inflata Reeve). The larvae were reared at pH 8.2...

The majority of benthic marine invertebrates have a complex life cycle, during which the pelagic larvae select a suitable substrate, attach to it, and then metamorphose into...

Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are causing ocean acidification, compromising the ability of some marine organisms to build and maintain support structures as the...
