Effects of seawater calcium on calcification in mussel larvae, supplement to: Thomsen, Jörn; Ramesh, Kirti; Sanders, Trystan; Bleich, Markus; Melzner, Frank (2018): Calcification in a marginal sea - influence of seawater [Ca2+] and carbonate chemistry on bivalve shell formation. Biogeosciences, 15(5), 1469-1482

Experiments were performed to test the effect of seawater [Ca2+] on the formation rate of the larval prodissoconch I shell in 'Baltic mussels in combination with modified carbonate chemistry.In addition, [Ca2+] of the extrapallial fluid were measured in depdendency of the seawater [Ca2+].These...

Description
Summary:Experiments were performed to test the effect of seawater [Ca2+] on the formation rate of the larval prodissoconch I shell in 'Baltic mussels in combination with modified carbonate chemistry.In addition, [Ca2+] of the extrapallial fluid were measured in depdendency of the seawater [Ca2+].These experimental data were correlated with the [Ca2+] present in the Baltic Sea.
