Uranium in larval shells as a barometer of molluscan ocean acidification exposure
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
As the ocean undergoes acidification, marine organisms will become increasingly exposed to reduced pH, yet variability in many coastal settings complicates our ability to accurately...

Elevated CO2 does not exacerbate nutritional stress in larvae of a Pacific flatfish
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Multiple aspects of climate change are expected to co-occur such that ocean acidification will take place in conjunction with warming and a range of trophic changes. Previous studies have...

Assessment of ocean acidification and warming on the growth, calcification, and biophotonics of a California grass shrimp
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Cryptic colouration in crustaceans, important for both camouflage and visual communication, is achieved through physiological and morphological mechanisms that are sensitive to changes in...

Not all sponges will thrive in a high-CO2 ocean: review of the mineralogy of calcifying sponges
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Most marine sponges precipitate silicate skeletal elements, and it has been predicted that they would be among the few “winners” among invertebrates in an acidifying, high-CO2 ocean. But...

Sponge bioerosion on changing reefs: ocean warming poses physiological constraints to the success of a photosymbiotic excavating sponge
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Excavating sponges are prominent bioeroders on coral reefs that in comparison to other benthic organisms may suffer less or may even benefit from warmer, more acidic and more eutrophic...

Seawater acidification induced immune function changes of haemocytes in Mytilus edulis: a comparative study of CO2 and HCl enrichment
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of CO2- or HCl-induced seawater acidification (pH 7.7 or 7.1; control: pH 8.1) on haemocytes of Mytilus edulis, and the changes in...

Disrupting the effects of synergies between stressors: improved water quality dampens the effects of future CO2 on a marine habitat
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Summary Synergies among stressors drive unanticipated changes to alternative states, yet little has been done to assess whether alleviating one or more contributing stressors may disrupt...

Carbon and nitrogen accumulation in the economic seaweed Gracilaria lemaneiformis affected by ocean acidification and increasing temperature
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
During mariculture period, maricultured macroalga Gracilaria lemaneiformis experienced seasonal temperature changes. In this study, we examine the effects of predicted ocean acidification...

Relationships between temperature, pH, and crusting on Mg/Ca ratios in laboratory-grown Neogloboquadrina foraminifera
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Mg/Ca ratio paleothermometry in foraminifera is an important tool for the reconstruction and interpretation of past environments. However, existing Mg/Ca:temperature relationships for...

Ocean acidification and kelp development: Reduced pH has no negative effects on meiospore germination and gametophyte development of Macrocystis pyrifera and Undaria pinnatifida
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The absorption of anthropogenic CO2 by the oceans is causing a reduction in the pH of the surface waters termed ocean acidification (OA). This could have substantial effects on marine...

Publications
Ocean acidification has lethal and sub-lethal effects on larval development of yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA), the process by which increasing atmospheric CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, lowering the pH of surface waters, has been shown to affect many marine organisms...

Detrimental effects of reduced seawater pH on the early development of the Pacific abalone
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The hatching process of the Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai was prolonged at a pH of 7.6 and pH 7.3, and the embryonic developmental success was reduced. The hatching rate at pH...
