Figure 2.

Normalized standard metabolic rate (SMR) in control (normocapnia, seawater Pco₂ ~ 0.054 kPa) and CO₂-exposed (hypercapnia, seawater Pco₂ ~ 0.15 kPa) oysters, C. gigas during acute warming (5 °C/48 h).

Data are means ± SD, N = 6 in each group. + indicates significant differences to the respective data at 15 °C (repeated measures ANOVA, P < 0.02). * indicates significant differences between control and CO₂-incubated animals at the respective temperature (unpaired t-test, P < 0.05). Differences in Q₁₀ values between the groups were marginally significant (unpaired t-test, P = 0.06).
