Deformities in larvae and juvenile European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ) exposed to lower pH at two different temperatures
The ongoing warming and acidification of the world's oceans are expected to influence the marine ecosystems, including benthic marine resources. Ocean acidification may especially have an impact on calcifying organisms, and the European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ) is among those species at ris...

The ongoing warming and acidification of the world's oceans are expected to influence the marine ecosystems, including benthic marine resources. Ocean acidification may especially have an impact on calcifying organisms, and the European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ) is among those species at risk. A project was initiated in 2011 aiming to investigate long-term effects of ocean acidification on the early life-cycle of lobster under two temperatures. Larvae were exposed to p CO 2 levels of ambient water (water intake at 90 m depth), medium 750 (pH = 7.79) and high 1200 μatm p CO 2 (pH = 7.62) at temperatures 10 and 18 °C. The water parameters in ambient water did not stay stable and were very low towards the end of the experiment in the larval phase at 10 °C,with pH between 7.83 and 7.90. At 18°, pH in ambient treatment was even lower, between 7.76 and 7.83, i.e. close to medium p CO 2 treatment. Long-term exposure lasted 5 months.
