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...

Spatial patterns of Anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) eggs and larvae in relation to pCO2 in the Peruvian upwelling system
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Large and productive fisheries occur in regions experiencing or projected to experience ocean acidification. Anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) constitute the world's largest single-species...

Global dissolution effects on planktonic foraminiferal Mg/Ca ratios controlled by the calcite-saturation state of bottom waters
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Mg/Ca ratios of planktonic foraminiferal tests are important tools for reconstructing past ocean temperatures at different levels of the upper water column. Yet numerous studies suggest a...

Effect of seawater temperature, pH, and nutrients on the distribution and character of low abundance shallow water benthic foraminifera in the Galápagos
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
In order to help predict the effects of anthropogenic stressors on shallow water carbonate environments, it is important to focus research on regions containing natural oceanographic...

Interactive network configuration maintains bacterioplankton community structure under elevated CO2 in a eutrophic coastal mesocosm experiment
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
There is increasing concern about the effects of ocean acidification on marine biogeochemical and ecological processes and the organisms that drive them, including marine bacteria. Here,...

The influence of Pacific Equatorial Water on fish diversity in the southern California Current System
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The California Undercurrent transports Pacific Equatorial Water (PEW) into the Southern California Bight from the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. PEW is characterized by higher...

Habitat compression and expansion of sea urchins in response to changing climate conditions on the California continental shelf and slope (1994–2013)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Echinoid sea urchins with distributions along the continental shelf and slope of the eastern Pacific often dominate the megafauna community. This occurs despite their exposure to...

Phytoplankton do not produce carbon-rich organic matter in high CO2 oceans
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The ocean is a substantial sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) released as a result of human activities. Over the coming decades the dissolved inorganic C concentration in the...

Dissolution: the Achilles' heel of the triton shell in an acidifying ocean
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification is expected to negatively impact many calcifying marine organisms by impairing their ability to build their protective shells and skeletons, and by causing dissolution...

Publications
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...

Permeable coral reef sediment dissolution driven by elevated CO2 and porewater advection
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to drive the transition of coral reef ecosystems from net calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitating to net dissolving within the next century. Although...

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...

Effects of fishing and acidification-related benthic mortality on the southeast Australian marine ecosystem
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is altering the carbonate chemistry of seawater, with potentially negative consequences for many calcifying marine organisms. At the...

Growing up in the temperate zone: age, growth, calcification and carbonate mineralogy of Melicerita chathamensis (Bryozoa) in southern New Zealand
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The cheilostome bryozoan Melicerita chathamensis from the continental shelf around southern New Zealand is unusual in having macroscopic annual growth checks. It thus presents an...
