OA can cause late-stage mussel larvae (Mytilus californianus) to produce weaker and thinner shells, along with bodies of reduced tissue mass. Ambient seawater conditions were characterized by a pH of 7.9 (quantified on the total scale), and low-pH conditions by a pH of 7.6. Error bars indicate SEM. Further experimental details and full dataset can be found in Gaylord et al. (2011).
