Seawater carbonate chemistry and exoskeletal properties in post-terminal-molt female snow crab Chionoecetes opilio
We examined the effect of long-term (2 year) exposure to decreased seawater pH (7.8 and 7.5, PCO2 ~ 760 and 1550 µatm, respectively) on exoskeletal properties in post-terminal-molt female Chionoecetes opilio. Since the effects of OA vary among body regions in decapods, exoskeletal properties (microh...

Summary: | We examined the effect of long-term (2 year) exposure to decreased seawater pH (7.8 and 7.5, PCO2 ~ 760 and 1550 µatm, respectively) on exoskeletal properties in post-terminal-molt female Chionoecetes opilio. Since the effects of OA vary among body regions in decapods, exoskeletal properties (microhardness, thickness, and elemental composition) were measured in five body regions: the carapace, both claws, and both third walking legs. |
