Summary of analysis of variance on M. asperrima adult physiological responses to elevated pCO2.

Summary of analysis of variance of the means of Standard Metabolic Rate (SMR), pHe, peO2, condition index and number of byssal threads of M. asperrima. Significance level is indicated by asterisks, * PPPe, PeO2, and condition index in response to two, four, and five weeks of elevated and ambient pCO2 (390, 750 µatm) were analysed using a 3 way ANOVA with “Time” and “pCO2” as fixed factors and “Tank” was nested in “pCO2”. SMR was also analysed with the “Tank” factor removed and “Time” and “pCO2” as fixed factors. Number of byssal threads in response to five weeks of elevated and ambient pCO2 (390, 750 µatm) was analysed using a 2 factor ANOVA with “Tank” nested in the fixed factor “pCO2”.
