Mussel larvae modify calcifying fluid carbonate chemistry to promote calcification

The sensitivity of mussel larvae to ocean acidification, particularly during the time of shell formation, remains uncertain. Here, the authors show that larvae can elevate calcium carbonate saturation state beneath their shell to enhance calcification, but this ability is compromised by ocean acidif...

Sumario:The sensitivity of mussel larvae to ocean acidification, particularly during the time of shell formation, remains uncertain. Here, the authors show that larvae can elevate calcium carbonate saturation state beneath their shell to enhance calcification, but this ability is compromised by ocean acidification.
