Physical and chemical conditions of seawater during growth experiment (mean ± SD, N = 8 weekly samples). All measurements are based upon duplicate or triplicate analyses of pH (total scale) and total alkalinity (TA) for each sampling period. pHT, pCO2, HCO3−, CO32−, CO2, TCO2, and Ωcalcite were calculated using CO2SYS. Calcium concentration was calculated based on 10.28 mmol kg−1 of Ca2+ at a salinity of 35 ppt.
