Seawater carbonate chemistry and shell growth, survival and respiration of Eastern oyster larvae (Crassostrea virginica)

We exposed Eastern oyster larvae (Crassostrea virginica) to a full-factorial experimental design using two temperatures (23°C and 27°C), salinities (17 and 27), and pCO2 levels (~700 μatm and 1850 μatm pCO2), resulting in Ωar conditions 0.3–1.7. Ωar reduced by low salinity, elevated pCO2, and low temperature.
