Early development of undulated surf clam, Paphia undulate under elevated pCO2
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing atmospheric CO2 can decrease the seawater pH and carbonate ions, which may adversely affect the larval survival of calcareous animals. In this study, we simulated future...

Ocean acidification increases the accumulation of toxic phenolic compounds across trophic levels
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing ocean acidification (OA), altering carbonate chemistry with consequences for marine organisms. Here we show that OA increases by...

Effects of ocean acidification on the metabolic rates of three species of bivalve from southern coast of China
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide results in a decrease in seawater pH, a process known as “ocean acidification”. The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata, the noble scallop Chlamys...

Photoperiod mediates the effects of elevated CO2 on the growth and physiological performance in the green tide alga Ulva prolifera
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ulva spp., an increasingly important food, are the dominant species of the large-scale green tides. In this study, both the growth and the physiological responses of the Ulva prolifera...

Indicators of climate change and social vulnerability in fishing dependent communities along the Eastern and Gulf Coasts of the United States
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Changing climatic conditions are affecting the relationship between fishing communities and the marine resources they depend on. This shift will require an adaptive response on the part...

The effect of pH on natural settlement and metamorphosis in the invasive limpet, Crepidula fornicata
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
The average pH of ocean surface waters has dropped by about 30%, due to absorption of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. In the past decade, much research has been conducted examining the...

An ocean acidification acclimatised green tide alga is robust to changes of seawater carbon chemistry but vulnerable to light stress
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Ulva is the dominant genus in the green tide events and is considered to have efficient CO2 concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). However, little is understood regarding the impacts of ocean...

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...

Effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on growth, photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism in the economic brown seaweed, Hizikia fusiforme (Sargassaceae, Phaeophyta)
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Hizikia fusiforme (Harv.) Okamura (brown seaweed) was cultured using aeration with two CO2 conditions: outdoor air (actual atmospheric CO2 concentration, averaging 360 $μ$l l-1) and...

Effects of pCO2 on spatial competition between the corals Montipora aequituberculata and Porites lutea
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
We tested the hypothesis that ocean acidification (OA) affects spatial competition among scleractinian corals. Competitive ability was evaluated indirectly by linear extension of Porites...

Morphology and classification of hemocytes in Pinctada fucata and their responses to ocean acidification and warming
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Hemocytes play important roles in the innate immune response and biomineralization of bivalve mollusks. However, the hemocytes in pearl oysters are poorly understood. In the present...
