Seawater carbonate chemistry and biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids in a benthic harpacticoid copepod

In this study, we conducted a laboratory experiment to evaluate the combined effects of warming (+3 °C), acidification (0.4 pH), and dietary LC-PUFA deficiency on the fatty acid composition and LC-PUFA biosynthesis (measured by quantitative RT-PCR) of the benthic harpacticoid copepod Platychelipus littoralis (Brady, 1880).
