High Calcification Costs Limit Mussel Growth at Low Salinity

High Calcification Costs Limit Mussel Growth at Low Salinity

In coastal temperate regions such as the Baltic Sea, calcifying bivalves dominate benthic communities playing a vital ecological role in maintaining biodiversity and nutrient recycling. At low salinities, bivalves exhibit reduced growth and calcification rates which is thought to result from physiol...
