Ecophysiology and Ocean Acidification in Marine Mollusks 1st Edition

Ecophysiology and Ocean Acidification in Marine Mollusks — 1st Edition by Youji Wang delivers a timely, authoritative exploration of how rising CO2 and changing seawater chemistry affect the physiology, survival, and ecological roles of mollusks. Ideal for researchers, aquaculture professionals, and policy makers across coastal regions in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America, this book bridges laboratory science and real-world conservation.

Begin with a compelling synthesis of current science: clear explanations of ocean acidification, carbonate chemistry, and why mollusks—key indicators and ecosystem engineers—are uniquely vulnerable. The text moves from foundational principles to detailed investigations of calcification, metabolic responses, reproduction, larval development, and stress adaptation, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing rigor.

Youji Wang presents evidence-based discussions and practical experimental approaches, valuable for marine biologists, graduate students, and aquaculture managers seeking to mitigate climate-driven impacts. Regional case studies and comparative analyses enhance its GEO relevance, offering insights into how acidification interacts with warming and pollution in diverse coastal ecosystems.

Readers will appreciate the book’s balanced voice: scientifically robust yet readable. It’s a resource for designing monitoring programs, informing restoration strategies, and guiding sustainable shellfish farming under changing ocean conditions. With concise summaries, up-to-date references, and clear illustrations, this edition becomes an essential addition to any marine science library.

For anyone working at the intersection of climate change, marine ecology, and resource management, Ecophysiology and Ocean Acidification in Marine Mollusks by Youji Wang is a must-have reference—order your copy today and stay at the forefront of molluscan and coastal research.
