Effect of carbonate chemistry alteration on the early embryonic development of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas).

Ocean acidification, due to anthropogenic CO₂ absorption by the ocean, may have profound impacts on marine biota. Calcareous organisms are expected to be particularly sensitive due to the decreasing availability of carbonate ions driven by decreasing pH levels. Recently, some studies focused on the...
