The effect of salinity, temperature, season and intertidal height on calcium uptake by Mytilus edulis (Linnaeus)
This study has shown that season, salinity, temperature and intertidal height all affect the rate up calcium uptake by mussels. For summer-adapted mussels, calcium uptake was found to be temperature dependent over the range of acute temperatures measured (1°-23°C). When subjected to a range of salin...
