Short and long-term exposure to ocean acidification in limpets from the Castello Aragonese vent systems (Ischia Island, Italy).

Ocean acidification (OA) is reported to entail a detrimental impact on calcifying organisms. Nevertheless, patellid limpets - P. caerulea, P.

Living under natural conditions of ocean acidification entails energy expenditure and oxidative stress in a mussel species.

We investigated the health conditions of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis recruited in the CO vents system of Castello Aragonese at Ischia Island (Mediterranean Sea). Individuals of M. galloprovincialis were sampled in three sites along the pH gradient (8.
