Seasonal variations in the aragonite saturation state in the upper open-ocean waters of the North Pacific Ocean
Posted on OA: 22 May 2015 Seasonal variability of the aragonite saturation state (ΩAR) in the upper (50 m and 100 m depths) North Pacific Ocean (NPO) was investigated using multiple linear regression (MLR). The MLR algorithm derived from a high-quality carbon dataset accurately predicted the ΩAR of evaluation
Two intertidal, non-calcifying macroalgae (Palmaria palmata and Saccharina latissima) show complex and variable responses to short-term CO2 acidification
Posted on OA: 22 May 2015 Ocean acidification, the result of increased dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is a leading subject of current research. The effects of acidification on non-calcifying macroalgae are, however, still unclear. The current study reports two 1-month studies using two different macroalgae, the
Long-term conditioning to elevated pCO2 and warming influences the fatty and amino acid composition of the diatom cylindrotheca fusiformis

Effect of low pH on early life stages of the decapod crustacean, Dungeness crab (Cancer magister)
Posted on OA: 21 May 2015 Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) eggs and larvae were exposed to laboratory controlled, low-pH seawater in an effort to assess current and predicted-future impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA) on hatching success, survival and growth. Treatment levels of pH ~8.0, ~7.5 and ~7.1 represented the
