Abstract

Abstract

A popularly cultured marine shellfish (Ruditapes philippinarum) was exposed to a series of CO₂-acidified seawaters for 4 hours. The waters had a constant salinity of 30.7 and an alkalinity of 2 350 μmol/kg. Both were the typical values of the surface water of Bohai Sea. Using the alkalinity anomaly method, effects of CO₂-driven ocean acidification on the calcification and respiration of R. philippinarum were investigated. The results showed that, slight shell dissolution and significant respiration decline of R. philippinarum occurred under several short-term CO₂-acidified scenarios. A function of CaCO₃ production rate (G) versus CaCO₃ saturation of aragonite (Ω_arag) had been developed as G(μmol/FWg·h)=0.14 × Ω_arag-0.49 (n=12, r=0.95, p<0.01). This function suggested that the shell is instable on the conditions of Ω_arag <3.5. However in a scenario where Ω_arag decreases to 1.0-1.5 in CO₂-acidified subsurface waters in the Bohai Sea (in late summer) and the North Yellow Sea (in autumn), the daily dissolved shell is only equivalent to insignificantly <2‰ of the net shell weight. In contrast, respiration declines and metabolic activity changes of R. philippinarum under CO₂-driven acidification were more notable. The function of inorganic carbon production rate (R_C) of R. philippinarum versus Ω_arag was R_C(μmol/FWg·h)=0.27 × Ω_arag+0.90 (n=12, r=0.82, p<0.01), suggesting that declines of Ω_arag had negative impacts on respiration much more than shell dissolution.
