Wanted Dead or Alive: Skeletal Structure Alteration of Cold-Water Coral <i>Desmophyllum pertusum</i> (<i>Lophelia pertusa)</i> from Anthropogenic Stressors

Ocean acidification (OA) has provoked changes in the carbonate saturation state that may alter the formation and structural biomineralisation of calcium carbonate exoskeletons for marine organisms. Biomineral production in organisms such as cold-water corals (CWC) rely on available carbonate in the...
