Dear authors,
I have now received the reviewers' comments on your paper as well as your comments in response of the reviews. Both reviewers agreed that the study provides a holistic view of the underlying mechanisms involved and that the copepod species E. affinis has not been studied much in relation to ocean acidification. The study is a valuable study that needs relatively minor revisions. Your rebuttal deals with all of these comments, however, it is not always clear as to how it will be addressed in the revised manuscript. With that in mind (thus following the reviewers' comments), I invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript.

Dear authors, I noticed that for some of the Referee comments there is indeed a rebuttal but no mention if and where in the revised manuscript the specific matter has been addressed. For example comment 2 of Referee #1, and comments 3 and 4 of Referee #2. Furthermore, it might be useful to provide the data requested by Referee #2 under comment 6 as Supplement data.
