Effects of ocean acidification on growth, organic tissue and protein profile of the Mediterranean bryozoan Myriapora truncata
The possible effects of ocean acidification on growth, organic tissue and protein profile in the bryozoan Myriapora truncata (Pallas, 1766) were studied in samples transplanted along a gradient of different pH conditions in an area of natural volcanic CO2 vents at Ischia Island (Tyrrhenian Sea, Ital...
