Ocean acidification and temperature increase impact mussel shell shape and thickness: problematic for protection?

Ocean acidification threatens organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells by potentially generating an under‐saturated carbonate environment. Resultant reduced calcification and growth, and subsequent dissolution of exoskeletons, would raise concerns over the ability of the shell to provide prot...
