Yes, a drop in pH can significantly affect sea urchin larvae growth. Lower pH levels can lead to increased ocean acidity, which can impair calcification processes essential for the development of their calcareous structures. This can result in slower growth rates, reduced survival, and deformities in larvae, ultimately affecting their population dynamics and ecosystem roles.
