Short summary
Under future acidification, warming, and nutrient management, substantial reductions in shell and tissue weights of Eastern oysters are projected for the Chesapeake Bay. Lower oyster growth rates will be largely driven by reduced calcium carbonate saturation states and reduced food availability. Oyster aquaculture practices in the region will likely be affected, with site selection becoming increasingly important as impacts will be highly spatially variable.
