Currently, almost any article searched with the keywords “calcification” and “ocean acidification”(OA) will inevitably bring up a link between calcification and bulk seawater carbonate saturation state (V) as a justification for the study. Therefore, it seems timely to highlight that from a physiological point of view, there are mechanisms that invoke control of calcification by seawater bicarbonate (HCO3 2) and proton (H+) concentrations rather than V in many marine organisms. While we agree with Waldbusser et al.(2016) that there is a vast diversity of marine calcifiers able to regulate carbonate chemistry internally at the site of calcification, it seems adequate to assume a similar underlying physiological response to OA unless shown otherwise.We do not necessarily interpret the seeming V sensitivity of calcification as substrate limitation, as suggested by Waldbusser et al.(2016), we simply question the mechanisms that would invoke bulk seawater V as a driving force of calcification in the first place. Waldbusser et al.(2016) rightfully note the co-variability of seawater V with the ratio of [HCO3 2] to [H+]. Recently, Bach (2015) demonstrated that a rearrangement of carbonate system equations results in an inevitable proportionality between V and the ratio of [HCO3 2] to [H+]. Owing to this proportionality, calcification rates will always correlate as well with [HCO3 2]/[H+] as they do with [CO3 22] orVwhen temperature, salinity, and pressure are constant (Figure 1). Hence, the good correlations with bulk seawater [CO3 22] or V that have previously been reported [examples given in Waldbusser et al.(2016)] can equally be interpreted as the influence of [HCO3 2] and [H+], which are physiologically more meaningful carbonate system parameters.
