Pteropod shell dissolution in the California Current Ecosystem

SEM images of shells of the pteropod Limacina helicina sampled during the 2011 cruise

showing signs of in situ dissolution from (A) an on-shore station, with the entire shell affected by

dissolution, and (B) from the off-shore region, with only the protoconch (first whorl) affected.

Indicated in the figure are: (a) intact surface, (b) mild dissolution, (c) severe dissolution.
