We report results from an oyster hatchery on the Oregon coast, where intake waters
experienced variable carbonate chemistry (aragonite saturation state< 0.8 to> 3.2; pH< 7.6 …

Increasing atmospheric CO 2 equilibrates with surface seawater, elevating the concentration
of aqueous hydrogen ions. This process, ocean acidification, is a future and contemporary …

Acidified waters are impacting commercial oyster production in the US Pacific Northwest,
and favorable carbonate chemistry conditions are predicted to become less frequent. Within …

Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide drive accompanying changes in the marine
carbonate system as carbon dioxide (CO 2) enters seawater and alters ocean pH (termed" …

In 2007, the US west coast shellfish industry began to feel the effects of unprecedented
levels of larval mortality in commercial hatcheries producing the Pacific oyster Crassostrea …

This study demonstrated that the increased partial pressure of CO 2 (pCO 2) in seawater
and the attendant acidification that are projected to occur by the year 2300 will severely …

Ocean acidification, due to anthropogenic CO2 absorption by the ocean, may have profound
impacts on marine biota. Calcareous organisms are expected to be particularly sensitive …

Increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide is altering marine carbonate chemistry through a
process called ocean acidification. Many calcium carbonate forming organisms are sensitive …

Rising levels of atmospheric CO2 lead to acidification of the ocean and alter seawater
carbonate chemistry, which can negatively impact calcifying organisms, including mollusks …

Oceans face a serious change to their natural biogeochemical cycle due to the rapid
absorption of CO2 generated by human activities. Ocean acidification is the common term …
