The effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentrations on the metamorphosis, size, and survival of larval hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), bay scallops (Argopecten irradians), and Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica)
Abstract
We present experiments that examined the metamorphosis, growth, and survivorship of larvae from three species of commercially and ecologically valuable shellfish (Mercenaria mercenaria, Argopecten irradians, and Crassostrea virginica) at the levels of CO 2 projected to occur during the 21st century and beyond. Under CO 2 concentrations estimated to occur later this century (~66 Pa, 650 ppm), M. mercenaria and A. irradians larvae exhibited dramatic declines (>50%) in survivorship as well as significantly delayed metamorphosis and significantly smaller sizes. Although C. virginica larvae also experienced lowered growth and delayed metamorphosis at ~66 Pa CO 2, their survival was only diminished at ~152 Pa CO 2. The extreme sensitivity of larval stages of shellfish to enhanced levels of CO 2 indicates that current and future increases in pelagic CO 2 concentrations may deplete or alter the composition of shellfish populations in coastal ecosystems.

The late spring and early-summer are times when the stressor-sensitive, early-life stages of multiple aquatic genera are present in coastal systems.
“The late spring and early-summer are also times when the stressor-sensitive, early-life stages of multiple aquatic genera (Green et al., 2009;Talmage andGobler, 2009, 2010;Waldbusser et al., 2010) are present in coastal systems (Kennedy and Krantz, 1982;Sherman et al., 1984;Helluy and Beltz, 1991).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
