the claim

Lower pH or more acidic waters can cause oyster larvae to appear smaller and more ragged.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that lower pH or more acidic waters can cause oyster larvae to appear smaller and more ragged?

Yes. Multiple studies demonstrate that exposure to reduced pH or ocean acidification causes oyster larvae to exhibit smaller sizes and increased shell deformities.

CO2-induced low pH in an eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) hatchery positively affects reproductive development and larval survival but negatively affects larval shape and size, with no intergenerational linkages
2020
The study demonstrates that low pH conditions result in reduced shell height and increased larval deformities, such as abnormal shell shape.
