Food supply and seawater pCO2 impact calcification and internal shell dissolution in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

Food supply and seawater pCO2 impact calcification and internal shell dissolution in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

Progressive ocean acidification due to anthropogenic CO(2) emissions will alter marine ecosystem processes. Calcifying organisms might be particularly vulnerable to these alterations in the speciation of the marine carbonate system. While previous research efforts have mainly focused on external dis...
