Future ocean conditions could cause significant changes in marine mussels – Phys.org

The increased temperature and acidification of our oceans over the next century have been argued to cause significant physical changes in an economically important marine species.
Scientists from the University of Plymouth exposed blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) to current and future levels of ocean acidification (OA) or warming (W), as well as both togethercommonly known as OAW.
Initial comparison of mussel shells showed that warming alone led to increased shell growth, but increasing warming a…
