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...

Nutrient pollution disrupts key ecosystem functions on coral reefs
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
There is a long history of examining the impacts of nutrient pollution and pH on coral reefs. However, little is known about how these two stressors interact and influence coral reef...

An ocean acidification-simulated system and its application in coral physiological studies
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Due to the elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide, ocean acidification (OA) has recently emerged as a research theme in marine biology due to an expected deleterious effect of altered...

Effect of marine acidification on calcification and respiration of Chlamys farreri
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Marine acidification will be an important environmental problem in the near future as a result of persistent emissions of CO2 and dissolution into seawater. In this study, we found that...

Impact of seawater carbonate variables on post-larval bivalve calcification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Several studies have demonstrated that shellfish calcification rate has been impacted by ocean acidification. However, the carbonate system variables responsible for regulating...

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...

An aposymbiotic primary coral polyp counteracts acidification by active pH regulation
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Corals build their skeletons using extracellular calcifying fluid located in the tissue-skeleton interface. However, the mechanism by which corals control the transport of calcium and...

Different calcification responses of two hermatypic corals to CO2-driven ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Understanding how calcification is influenced by the enhanced dissolution of CO2 in the oceans is the key to evaluating the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on coral reefs. In this...

Effect of seawater carbonate concentration on foraminiferal carbon and oxygen isotopes
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
Stable oxygen and carbon isotope measurements on biogenic calcite and aragonite have become standard tools for reconstructing past oceanographic and climatic change. In aquatic organisms,...

Resiliency of juvenile walleye pollock to projected levels of ocean acidification
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Publications
As atmospheric concentrations of CO2 rise, the pH of high-latitude oceans is predicted to decrease by 0.3 to 0.5 units by 2100. Several biological consequences of ocean acidification...
