Abstract
• Arbacia lixula and Paracentrotus lividus were differently affected at low seawater pH exposure. • P. lividus skeleton integrity was not affected by low seawater pH. • Arbacia lixula exposed to low seawater pH near CO2 vent showed decreased skeletal integrity. • pH exposure leads to changes in biomineralization-related genes expression. • Acid-base regulation capacity is linked with a better tolerance to low seawater pH.
