Clusters of Excellence 80 (EXC): The Future Ocean, Ocean Acidification - Seasonal carbonate system variability in Kiel Bay and correlated physiological performance of local blue mussels

Description: Recent measurements of surprisingly high summer pCO2values above 1,000 ìatm in surface waters of the inner Kiel Fjord prompt us to investigate the carbonate chemistry of this region in more detail. We propose to follow the Kiel Bay carbonate system over an entire seasonal cycle. In order to assess the effects of fluctuating pH/pCO2 on key marine organisms in affected surface waters, we plan to simultaneously study acid-base status and calcification performance of the dominant benthic invertebrate, the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis.
