Seawater carbonate chemistry and shell integrity in a Mediterranean calcifying mollusk

DOI

This study investigated the short-term effects of these stressors on the Mediterranean bivalve Chamelea gallina, a key fishery species in the Adriatic Sea, by integrating skeletal, mechanical, and mineralogical responses. Adult clams of commercial size were exposed for 21 days to eight experimental treatments manipulating two levels of temperature (18 ◦C vs. 22 ◦C), pH (8.0 vs. 7.9), and salinity (35 vs. 32), chosen to reproduce near-future climate projections and the freshwater-driven variability typical of the Adriatic Sea.This dataset is included in the OA-ICC data compilation maintained in the framework of the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (see https://oa-icc.ipsl.fr). Original data were provided by the author of the related paper (see Related to) to the OA-ICC data curator. In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2024) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of carbonate system variables, as described by Nisumaa et al. (2010). In this dataset the original values were archived in addition with the recalculated parameters (see related PI). The date of carbonate chemistry calculation by seacarb is 2026-06-09.
