The increasing usage of nanoparticles has caused their considerable release into the aquatic environment. Meanwhile, anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions have caused a reduction of seawater pH. However, their combined effects on marine species have not been experimentally evaluated. This study estimated the physiological toxicity of nano-TiO<sub>2</sub> in the mussel Mytilus coruscus under high pCO<sub>2</sub> (2500-2600 μatm). We found that respiration rate (RR), food absorption efficiency (A ...[more]
