Impact of ocean acidification on a key Arctic pelagic mollusc ( Limacina helicina )
International audience Abstract. Thecosome pteropods (shelled pelagic molluscs) can play an important role in the food web of various ecosystems and play a key role in the cycling of carbon and carbonate. Since they harbor an aragonitic shell, they could be very sensitive to ocean acidification driv...

The impact of changes in the carbonate chemistry was investigated on Limacina helicina, a key species of Arctic ecosystems.
