Shell Condition and Survival of Puget Sound Pteropods Are Impaired by Ocean Acidification Conditions
Figure 7
Representative shells from pteropods incubated in the (a) Ωa≈1.59, (b) Ωa≈0.56, and (c) Ωa≈0.28 treatments.
Note corrosion on the ribs of the shell in image (b) and the shell perforations in image (c). Tissue that was not dissolved during the sodium hypochlorite incubation is visible as yellow-white material inside of the shells.
