Michaelidis et al. (2005)
The growth rate of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were examined after growing for 3 months under normal (8.05) and reduced (7.3) pH. Reduced pH conditions were obtained by injecting gaseous CO2 into seawater, while temperatures were maintained at 18°C and salinity at 32‰.
