	note = {Anthropogenic increases in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have led to acidification of the oceans.  More acidic ocean water profoundly affects development of shellfish, and has had a huge impact on shellfish growers in the Pacific Northwest.  The Pacific oyster, which originates in Japan, and has historically been the most commonly grown species, seems to be particularly sensitive to ocean acidification.  The native Olympia oyster has a different life history and a slower rate of development than the Pacific oyster.  In this paper, the authors explore the process of slow shell-building in Olympia oysters in acidic waters and consider implications for potential resiliency in adverse environmental conditions in this and other shellfish species. },

"We report results from an oyster hatchery on the Oregon coast, where intake waters experienced variable carbonate chemistry (aragonite saturation state < 0.8 to > 3.2; pH < 7.6 to > 8.2) in the early summer of 2009. Both larval production and midstage growth (~ 120 to ~ 150 {\textmu}m) of the oyster Crassostrea gigas were significantly negatively correlated with the aragonite saturation state of waters in which larval oysters were spawned and reared for the first 48 h of life. The effects of the initial spawning conditions did not have a significant effect on early-stage growth (growth from D-hinge stage to ~ 120 {\textmu}m), suggesting a delayed effect of water chemistry on larval development."
