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...

Behavior of brooded coral larvae in response to elevated pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Elevated pCO2 threatens coral reefs through impaired calcification. However, the extent to which elevated pCO2 affects the distribution of the pelagic larvae of scleractinian corals, and...

Insights from sodium into the impacts of elevated pCO2 and temperature on bivalve shell formation
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification and warming are predicted to affect the ability of marine bivalves to build their shells, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Shell formation is an...

Climatic modulation of recent trends in ocean acidification in the California Current System
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We reconstruct the evolution of ocean acidification in the California Current System (CalCS) from 1979 through 2012 using hindcast simulations with an eddy-resolving ocean biogeochemical...

Decomposing monthly declines in subsurface-water pH and aragonite saturation state from spring to autumn in the North Yellow Sea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The North Yellow Sea (NYS) is a western North Pacific marginal sea of major ecological and economic importance, where seasonal thermocline and subsurface cold water mass are well...

Functional traits for carbon access in macrophytes
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Understanding functional trait distributions among organisms can inform impacts on and responses to environmental change. In marine systems, only 1% of dissolved inorganic carbon in...

Metabolic responses of the North Pacific krill, Euphausia pacifica, to short- and long-term pCO2 exposure
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
While ocean acidification is likely to have major effects on many marine organisms, those species that regularly experience variable pCO2 environments may be more tolerant of future...

Risks of hypoxia and acidification in the high energy coastal environment near Victoria, Canada's untreated municipal sewage outfalls
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Wastewater disposal often has deleterious impacts on the receiving environment. Low dissolved oxygen levels are particularly concerning. Here, we investigate the impacts on dissolved...

Mussel byssus attachment weakened by ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Biomaterials connect organisms to their environments. Their function depends on biological, chemical and environmental factors, both at the time of creation and throughout the life of the...

Publications
Reconstructing aragonite saturation state based on an empirical relationship for Northern California
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ocean acidification is a global phenomenon with highly regional spatial and temporal patterns. In order to address the challenges of future ocean acidification at a regional scale, it is...

Using present-day observations to detect when anthropogenic change forces surface ocean carbonate chemistry outside preindustrial bounds
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
One of the major challenges to assessing the impact of ocean acidification on marine life is detecting and interpreting long-term change in the context of natural variability. This study...

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...

Effects of elevated pCO2 on the survival, growth, and moulting of the Pacific krill species, Euphausia pacifica
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
While ocean acidification (OA) is expected to have wide-ranging negative effects on marine species, organisms currently living in variable pH environments that expose them intermittently...

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...

CO2-driven decrease in pH disrupts olfactory behaviour and increases individual variation in deep-sea hermit crabs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Deep-sea species are generally thought to be less tolerant of environmental variation than shallow-living species due to the relatively stable conditions in deep waters for most...
