Abstract excerpt
Ocean acidification (OA), which refers to a gradual decrease in seawater pH due to the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide, profoundly affects the growth, development and survival of bivalves. Relatively limited studies have assessed the resilience of bivalve to OA. In the present study, Patinopecten yessoensis, an economically and ecologically significant species, were exposed to low pH (pH = 7.5) for 4...
