Biomarker response of climate change-induced ocean acidification and hypercapnia studies on brachyurian crab Portunus pelagicus
A laboratory level microcosm analysis of the impacts of ocean acidification on the environmental stress biomarkers in Portunus pelagicus (Linneaus 1758)exposed to a series of pH regimes expected in the year 2100 (pH 7.5 and 7.0) and leakage from a sub-seabed carbon dioxide storage site (pH 6.5 - 5.5) was carried out. Levels of the antioxidant enzyme catalase, the phase II detoxificatio...
متن کاملImpact of ocean acidification on the structure of future phytoplankton communities
Phytoplankton form the foundation of the marine food web and regulate key biogeochemical processes. These organisms face multiple environmental changes1, including the decline in ocean pH (ocean acidification) caused by rising atmospheric pCO2 (ref. 2). A meta-analysis of published experimental data assessing growth rates of di erent phytoplankton taxa under both ambient and elevated pCO2 condi...
متن کاملA short-term in situ CO2 enrichment experiment on Heron Island (GBR)
Ocean acidification poses multiple challenges for coral reefs on molecular to ecological scales, yet previous experimental studies of the impact of projected CO₂ concentrations have mostly been done in aquarium systems with corals removed from their natural ecosystem and placed under artificial light and seawater conditions. The Coral-Proto Free Ocean Carbon Enrichment System (CP-FOCE) uses a n...
متن کاملLack of genetic variation in the response of a trematode parasite to ocean acidification
The impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on marine species will be complex and involve both direct and indirect effects (Kroeker et al. 2013). As with other environmental stressors, the consequences of ocean acidification (OA) are likely to be variable, not only among species but also within species, with some individuals showing greater tolerance to low pH conditions (Doney et al....
متن کاملEffects of CO2-driven ocean acidification on the early developmental stages of invertebrates
CO2 emissions arising from the burning of fossil fuels have altered seawater chemistry far more rapidly than the Earth has previously experienced, and the rate and extent of this change are expected to affect shallow water marine organisms. The increased CO2 diffuses from the atmosphere into ocean surface waters, resulting in increased partial pressure of CO2, and reduced [CO3] and pH. The CO2-...
