Seawater carbonate chemistry and shell length, shell thickness, shell mass, tissue mass and shell strength of blue mussels

We performed a common garden experiment where juveniles of blue mussels with different historical contact with crabs were exposed to either a control environment, crab chemical cues, low pH (as a proxy for ocean acidification), or a combination of low pH and crab cue. After 120 days raising, we measured the final shell length, shell thickness, shell mass, tissue mass and shell strength of blue mussels.
