Abstract

These data support Incubation data for Mytilus californianus calcification. These incubations did not contain mussels and demonstrate that background alkalinity changes during experimental modules were minor. These data support Incubation data for Mytilus californianus calcification. These data demonstrate that background alkalinity changes during experimental modules were minor.

Experiment details 

We conducted additional incubations (n=87, between 3 and 9 per experiment day) without mussels throughout the trials as experimental blanks to determine background changes in alkalinity. We excluded from our analysis any experimental days where background alkalinity changes exceeded 5 µmol kg-1.

The mean of the absolute values of alkalinity change during the incubations of these experimental blanks was 1.3 ± 1.2 µmol kg-1 (n = 72).
