Interannual variability in euthecosomatous pteropods (Limacina spp.) in the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean during austral summer
Euthecosomatous pteropods with carbonate (aragonite) shells living in polar waters are thought to be very sensitive to ocean acidification resulting from increased anthropogenic CO2 uptake. To assess the impacts of ocean acidification on pteropods, we investigated pteropod abundance and shell size a...
