Physiological feeding rates and cilia suppression in blue mussels (<em>Mytilus edulis</eM>) with increased levels of dissolved carbon dioxide
Gills of marine bivalves, the organs that mediate water flow for feeding and other physiological functions, are exposed to increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, in response to ocean acidification (OA). We examined the effects of elevated dissolved CO2 upon filtration and feeding behavior of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, under field conditions and in laboratory […]
