Ocean acidification is one of the major impacts of climate
change in sea which is manifested by the decrease in hydrogen
ion concentration (pH) of seawater mainly due to increased
uptake of CO2 and reduction in carbonate ions. This is a report
on the dissolution rate of dead shells of four marine bivalves
and spines of a sea urchin when treated with different levels of
CO2 dissolved in seawater for 48 hours which was measured
gravimetrically. Dissolution of dead shells expressed as
reduction in shell weight was directly proportional to the
concentration of dissolved CO2. Live thallus of green seaweed
Chaetomorpha antennina did reduce the magnitude of
dissolution rates (P
