The impact of ocean acidification on gastropod shell dissolution and microstructure
Reduced pH,Shell erosion,Aragonite and calcite,Calcium carbonate saturation

Global seawater pH is projected to decrease by 0.3–0.5 units on average by the end of this century, which is
considered detrimental to the shells of marine calcareous organisms. However, there is limited understanding of
how ocean acidification affects the morphology and structure of these shells, as well as the underlying mecha
nisms. This study examines the shell growth, surface erosion, and microstructural changes of the marine
gastropod Lunella coronata granulata after 85 days of exposure to varying pH (8.1–7.1). The results reveal that at
pH ≤ 7.5, shell growth is notably inhibited, with pronounced dissolution hole formation on the inner surface. At
pH 7.1, shell surface erosion becomes more pronounced, accompanied by extensive peeling of the shell peri
ostracum. These changes—dissolution hole formation and periostracum peeling—are critical indicators of
gastropod shell response to ocean acidification and can serve as biological indicators reflecting current and past
ocean acidification. Additionally, our study shows a clear negative correlation between shell dissolution and pH,
providing new bio-proxy for indicating the pH changes.
