Futuristic Ocean Acidification Levels Reduce Growth and Reproductive Viability in the Pacific Oyster (<i>Crassostrea gigas</i>)

Futuristic Ocean Acidification Levels Reduce Growth and Reproductive Viability in the Pacific Oyster (<i>Crassostrea gigas</i>)

In this study, we investigated the effects of futuristic pH because of climate change on the growth and reproductive viability of the Pacific oysters. The futuristic pH levels to which adult oysters were exposed are 7.5 and 7.8 (as extreme case) and 8.1 (as moderate case), with pH 8.2 serving as th...
