OA has long been considered as a major threat to echinoderms because their extensive endoskeleton is made of high‑magnesium calcite, one of the most soluble forms of calcium carbonate. Numerous studies addressed this question in sea urchins, but very few questioned the impact of OA on the sea star skeleton, although members of this taxon do not compensate their extracellular pH, contrary to most sea urchins. In the present study, adults of the common sea star, <em>Asterias rubens</em> from Kiel Fjord, a site experiencing natural acidification events exceeding pCO<sub>2</sub> levels of 2500 μatm, were chronically exposed to different levels of simulated ocean acidification (pH<sub>T-SW</sub> 8.0, 7.4, 7.2), encompassing present and future conditions, for the duration of 109 days. Corrosion and mechanical properties of skeletal elements were studied using scanning electron microscopy, three-point bending tests as well as nanoindentation. The spines were significantly corroded at pH<sub>T-SW</sub> 7.4 and below while the ambulacral plates were only affected at pH<sub>T-SW</sub> 7.2. Nanoindentation of newly formed spines and ambulacral plates did not reveal significant CO<sub>2</sub>-induced differences in skeleton hardness or elasticity across treatments. Results of three-point bending tests revealed significantly reduced characteristic strength and fracture force of ambulacral plates from the median arm segment at pH<sub>T-SW</sub> 7.4 and below. These plates are those supporting the tube feet involved in the opening of bivalves during feeding and in the animal attachment to the substrate. Under reduced seawater pH, this might result in fracture of sea star plates during predation on mussel. The present results predict a possible impact of ocean acidification on the skeletal integrity of a marine keystone predator.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Skeletal integrity of a marine keystone predator (<i>Asterias rubens</i>) threatened by ocean acidification","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-24 01:33:04.676610","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Ocean acidification; Echinoderms; Asterias rubens; Skeleton; Mechanics; Acclimation","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2020,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-06-01","DateCreate":"2021-05-17","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000528044300007","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"Handle":"10.1016/j.jembe.2020.151335"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":337875,"PubliDate":2020,"Pagination":"151335","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"526","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43229,"SerRR":"Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology.
