Magnolia Press Ocean acidification and warming reduce juvenile survival of the fluted giant clam

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are causing ocean acidification and ocean warming; however, the synergistic effects of these stressors on giant clams are completely unknown. Juveniles of the fluted giant clam, Tridacna squamosa Lamarck, 1819, were exposed to present-day control seawate...

Description
Summary:Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are causing ocean acidification and ocean warming; however, the synergistic effects of these stressors on giant clams are completely unknown. Juveniles of the fluted giant clam, Tridacna squamosa Lamarck, 1819, were exposed to present-day control seawater (416 µatm pCO 2) and seawater treated with CO 2 to simulate ocean conditions predicted for the next 50–100 years (622 µatm pCO 2 and 1019 µatm pCO
