Ecophysiology and Ocean Acidification in Marine Mollusks: From Molecule to Behavior provides an extensive overview of the latest research on the various ecophysiological effects of ocean acidification on marine mollusks. This book synthesizes historical information and recent findings on the effects of environmental change, ocean warming, and acidification on key mollusks and their life-history. It also discusses the underlying mechanisms underpinning the effects of ocean warming and acidification. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field of marine biology, this book systematically examines the effects of ocean acidification on the reproduction, growth and development, physiological metabolism, immunity, and behavior of marine mollusks.

The book concludes by discussing the implications of current research, acknowledging data limitations in the field, and proposing future research directions, providing a better understanding of the potential impacts of ocean acidification on mollusks and the global aquaculture industry and inspiring new thinking for future research practices. It will be an indispensable resource for researchers, practitioners, undergraduate and graduate students, conservationists, and aquaculturists alike who are interested in marine environmental change, ecology, physiology, and marine biology.

Dr. Youji Wang is a Professor at the College of Fisheries and Science, Shanghai Ocean University. He obtained his BSc and MSc in Aquaculture from Huazhong Agricultural University and his PhD in Marine Biology from the City University of Hong Kong. Dr. Wang has 20 years of experience in conducting marine biology, aquaculture, and environmental research. His current research focuses on the response of microalgae, bivalves, and fishes to nanoparticles, microplastics, ocean acidification, hypoxia, warming and other emerging contaminants.
