Therefore, future scenarios (pH at 7.8, 7.6, 7.4) energy-producing-related genes razor clam were investigated present study. The results showed that elevated CO2 partial pressure ( pCO2) 7.6 led significant reduction digging depth clam. In addition, exposure pCO2-acidified seawater depressed metabolism activity Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase, which may partially contribute reduced detected. Furthermore, was generally induced by acidified could be accounted for an increased energy demand under stress. obtained suggest exert impact through altering condition KEY WORDS: · Burrowing Metabolism Gene Full text pdf format PreviousNextCite this article as: Peng C, Zhao X, Liu S, Shi W others constricta.
