Abstract. Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from different shell layers in the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis combined with detailed investigations ultrastructure. Mussels harbour Ischia (Mediterranean, Italy) were transplanted grown water mean pHT 7.3 8.1 near CO2 vents on east coast island. Most prominently, recorded shock...
Ocean acidification is expected to alter marine systems, but there uncertainty about its effects due the logistical difficulties of testing large-scale and long-term effects. Responses biological communities increases in carbon dioxide can be assessed at CO2 seeps that cause chronic exposure lower seawater pH over localised areas seabed. Shifts macroalgal have been described temperate tropical pCO2 seeps, temporal spatial replication these observations needed strengthen confidence our...
Abstract. Specimens of the patellogastropod limpet Patella caerulea were collected within (pHlow-shells) and outside (pHn-shells) a CO2 vent site at Ischia, Italy. Four pHlow-shells four pHn-shells sectioned transversally scanned for polymorph distribution by means confocal Raman microscopy. The displayed twofold increase in aragonite area fraction size-normalised area. Size-normalised calcite was halved pHlow-shells. Taken together with increased apical decreased flank thickness...
