Ocean acidification (OA) - a process describing the ocean’s increase in dissolved carbon dioxide (PCO2) and a reduction in pH and aragonite saturation state (Ωar) due to higher concentrations of atmospheric CO2 – is considered a threat to bivalve mollusks and other marine calcifiers. While many stud...
