Ocean acidification adversely influences metabolism, extracellular pH and cal...
Oceanic uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere has significantly reduced surface seawater pH and altered the carbonate chemistry within, leading to global Ocean Acidification (OA).... -
The effects of hypercapnia on the West Coast rock lobster (Jasus lalandii) th...
The cold water palinurid Jasus lalandii ('West Coast rock lobster') is a commercially important crustacean in South Africa and Namibia and inhabits the Benguela Current Eastern... -
Impact of ocean acidification on thermal tolerance and acid-base regulation o...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Gattuso et al, 2015) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Acid-base balance and changes in haemolymph properties of the South African r...
Few studies exist reporting on long-term exposure of crustaceans to hypercapnia. We exposed juvenile South African rock lobsters, Jasus lalandii, to hypercapnic conditions of pH... -
Impact of ocean acidification and warming on the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilu...
In order to assess the effects of ocean acidification and warming on the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), specimens were reared in aquarium tanks and exposed to... -
Escape performance of temperate king scallop, Pecten maximus under ocean warm...
Among bivalves, scallops are exceptional due to their capacity to escape from predators by swimming which is provided by rapid and strong claps that are produced by the phasic... -
Gene expression profiling in gills of the great spider crab Hyas araneus in r...
In order to allow full comparability with other ocean acidification data sets, the R package seacarb (Lavigne et al, 2014) was used to compute a complete and consistent set of... -
Bioturbation determines the response of benthic ammonia-oxidizing microorgani...
Ocean acidification (OA), caused by the dissolution of increasing concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater, is projected to cause significant changes to... -
Mixed effects of elevated pCO2 on fertilisation, larval and juvenile developm...
Ocean acidification is predicted to have severe consequences for calcifying marine organisms especially molluscs. Recent studies, however, have found that molluscs in marine... -
Acid-base regulation in the Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister)
Homeostatic regulation allows organisms to secure basic physiological processes in a varying environment. To counteract fluctuations in ambient carbonate system speciation due... -
Biological impacts of enhanced alkalinity in Carcinus maenas
Further steps are needed to establish feasible alleviation strategies that are able to reduce the impacts of ocean acidification, whilst ensuring minimal biological side-effects... -
Experiment: Food availability outweighs ocean acidification effects in juveni...
Ocean acidification is expected to decrease calcification rates of bivalves. Nevertheless in many coastal areas high pCO2 variability is encountered already today. Kiel Fjord... -
Differential acid-base regulation in various gills of the green crab Carcinus...
Euryhaline decapod crustaceans possess an efficient regulation apparatus located in the gill epithelia, providing a high adaptation potential to varying environmental abiotic... -
Seawater carbonate chemistry and processes during experiments with crabs Chio...
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide could be curbed by large-scale sequestration of CO2 in the deep sea. Such a solution requires prior assessment of the impact of...
