attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Experimental setup and conditions  \n This experiment was conducted at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences\n(BIOS) in St. George\\u2019s, Bermuda. The experimental treatments were two CO2\nlevels (high and ambient) and two feeding conditions (fed and unfed). The two\npCO2 levels were established in static 5.5 gallon aquaria filled with serially\nfiltered (50, 5 um) seawater prior to the addition of metamorphosed larvae.\nThese conditions were achieved and maintained by directly bubbling air (in the\nambient condition) or CO2 -enriched air (high CO2 treatment) through micropore\nbubble \\\"wands\\\" fixed horizontally approximately 5 cm from the base of each\naquarium. A pair of Aalborg mass flow controllers maintained the CO2\nconcentration of the enriched treatment. The resultant average calculated pCO2\nfor ambient and high CO2 conditions were 421 \\u00b1 35 and 1,311 \\u00b1 76\nuatm (mean \\u00b1 SD), respectively, with corresponding average \\u03a9ar of\n3.66 \\u00b1 0.15 and 1.63 \\u00b1 0.08 (mean \\u00b1 SD), respectively. \\u03a9ar\nof the high CO2 treatments is within range of average global surface ocean\n\\u03a9ar predicted by global climate models for the end of this century under\nthe IPCC SRES A2 (Steinacher et al. 2009). Corals in fed treatments were\nisolated (every night for 2 weeks, every other night for the third week) for 3\nh in 12.5 cm x 12.5 cm x 3 cm plastic containers filled with seawater from\ntheir respective treatment tanks and provided with 24-h-old Artemia nauplii\n(brine shrimp). Feeding took place at night, shortly after lights were\nswitched off to mimic crepuscular feeding and temporal zooplankton abundance\nobserved in local coral reef environments (Lewis and Price 1975). Unfed corals\nwere not provided nauplii during the 3-week experiment and were not isolated\nin empty feeding containers. Each CO2 -feeding treatment was conducted in\ntriplicate for a total of twelve aquaria, and all treatments were kept on a\n12/12 h light\\u2013dark cycle. Fluorescent aquarium lamps maintained maximum\nlight levels of 62 \\u00b1 8 umol quanta m-2 s-1 (mean \\u00b1 SD), which were\nmonitored using a LI-COR probe/meter assemblage. The compensation range for F.\nfragum spat on Bermuda is not yet known. The investigators used the low end of\nknown compensation ranges for corals (e.g. 3\\u2013233 umol quanta m-2 s-1 as\nreported by Mass et al. 2007) for two reasons. The first was to ensure that\ncorals under elevated CO2 did not bleach (as experienced by Anthony et al.\n2009), and the second was to minimize the potential for enhanced\nphotosynthesis to overwhelm or inhibit the feeding-modulated calcification\nresponse to elevated CO2. Aquarium temperatures were maintained by in-line\nchiller/heater systems and monitored every 15 min (Hobo temperature loggers,\nOnset Corp.). Average temperature for all treatments over the course of the\nexperiment was 27.6 \\u00b1 0.1 degrees C (\\u00b1 SD).\n \nAquarium water was replaced with filtered seawater every week to prevent the\nbuild-up of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and other wastes. Prior to removing\nwater from the aquaria, discrete water samples were collected for salinity,\nalkalinity (Alk), and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from every aquarium.\nSalinity was measured at BIOS with an Autosal salinometer. The Alk/DIC samples\nwere poisoned with mercuric chloride immediately after collection and analyzed\nusing a Marianda VINDTA-3C analysis system at WHOI. Alkalinity was determined\nby nonlinear curve fitting of data obtained by open-cell titrations, and DIC\nconcentrations were determined by coulometric analysis. Both measurements were\nstandardized using certified reference materials obtained from Dr. A. Dickson\n(Scripps IO). The pH (NBS) of each tank was measured every 3\\u20134 d (Orion\npH meter and temperature- compensated electrode) to provide a real-time\nassessment of tank chemistry. Short-term variations in NBS pH were also\nassessed on a higher-resolution time scale: for one, 24-h period, by measuring\npH in each aquarium at 3-h time intervals. The pH within each tank was\nmaintained within \\u00b1 a few hundredths of a pH unit on both sub-weekly and\nsub-daily time scales. The carbonate system parameters used to compare\ntreatments (pCO2, [HCO3- ], [CO32-], and \\u03a9ar) were calculated from the\naverage temperature and discretely sampled salinity, Alk, and DIC data using\nthe CO2SYS program (Lewis and Wallace 1998; Pelletier et al. 2007) with the\nconstants of Mehrbach et al. (1973) as refit by Dickson and Millero (1987).\n \nCoral collection, spawning, and larval settlement  \n In July 2010, approximately 1 week prior to anticipated peak larval release\ndate (Goodbody-Gringley and de Putron 2009), the investigators collected 30\nmature colonies of the brooding coral, F. fragum, from the Bailey\\u2019s Bay\npatch reefs off the northwest Bermudan coast at approximately three to seven\nmeters water depth. Adult colonies were maintained in outdoor flow-through\nseawater aquaria at BIOS under ambient light and temperature conditions.\nParent colonies were kept isolated in glass jars during planula release, which\noccurred over the course of 6 nights. The live zooxanthellate planulae were\ncollected from all parents and pooled together. Ceramic tiles, approximately 9\nsquare cm, were left out on the reef for 2 months prior to the start of the\nexperiment and further conditioned for larval settlement by scattering bits of\nfreshly collected crustose coralline algae on the tiles. Immediately after\ncollection, actively swimming larvae were transferred to small plastic tubs\neach containing ceramic tiles and filled with seawater preset to targeted CO2\nlevels. The tubs had mesh lids, allowing for water exchange, while they are\nsubmerged in the treatment aquaria. After 48 h, larvae had settled and\nmetamorphosed into primary polyps (at this stage, larvae are \\\"spat\\\"). Spat\non tiles were quickly counted, and tiles were pseudo-randomly distributed\namong the experimental aquaria so that each aquarium had approximately the\nsame number of juvenile corals. Calcification was visible approximately 3 d\nafter settlement. At the end of 3 weeks (\\u00b1 1 d), 20\\u201350 primary\npolyps (including their primary corallite) per treatment were removed from the\ntiles and frozen at- 80 degrees C for analysis of total lipid. Tiles were then\nremoved from treatments and submerged in a 10% bleach solution for 1 h, which\nremoved the polyp tissue from all of the remaining juvenile corals and exposed\nthe calcified skeleton or primary corallite.\n \nQuantification of baby coral skeletal development, size, and weight  \n Each bleached skeleton was digitally photographed, removed from the tile,\nand weighed using a Metro-Toledo micro-balance. Images of the baby corals\n(i.e. spat) were examined for skeletal development and size using Spot Imaging\nsoftware. Length of the primary septa (present in all samples) was used to\nestimate corallite diameter (i.e., size). The septa are lateral CaCO3 plates\nthat corals accrete in cycles. In our experiment, most spat accreted both\nprimary and secondary septa; the tertiary septa were the last septal cycle\naccreted by any of the juvenile corals. Rate of skeletal development was\ndefined as percent spat exhibiting tertiary septa, and a two-way ANOVA was\nused to test for differences in the mean proportion of spat with tertiary\nsepta between the treatments. Feeding treatment and CO2 level were fixed\neffects. Data were arc sin square root transformed to homogenize variances\nprior to analyses. To test for differences in mean spat weight and diameter\namong treatments, a two-way, nested multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA)\nwas performed on natural log transformed weight data and square root\ntransformed diameter data. Feeding treatment and CO2 levels were fixed main\neffects, while tank effect was the random factor nested within feeding and CO2\nlevels. Eight univariate F tests were conducted to test each of the dependent\nvariables. A Bonferonni corrected alpha value of 0.0062 was used to declare\nsignificance of F statistics. It should be noted that the MANOVA only\nconsiders corals that have data for both diameter and weight. If part of a\ncorallite is lost during weighing or was attached to coralline algae, both\ncoral size and weight were excluded from the MANOVA analyses. Likewise, if the\nskeleton was irregularly shaped (i.e., primary septa did not lie in a straight\nline), the data for those corals were not included. In order to account for\nany bias that may have resulted from corallite exclusion in the MANOVA, ANOVAs\nfor the dependent variables, weight, and diameter were conducted. These tests\nconsidered all data for a given dependent variable to compare with the\nMANOVA\\u2019s univariate results.\n \nQuantification of baby coral total lipid and symbiont density  \n Ten individual spat from each aquarium were pooled per tissue lipid sample\nfor quantification of total lipid by gravimetric analysis. Pooling was\nnecessary due to the small size of the spat at 3 weeks. Extraction methods\nfollow that of Folch et al. (1957) and Cantin et al. (2007). Five individual\nspat from each aquarium were pooled per sample for quantification of symbiont\ndensity. Spat were homogenized, centrifuged and the resultant pellet was re-\nsuspended in 250 l L filtered seawater. Symbionts from multiple (6\\u20139)\naliquot sub-samples of the slurry were counted on a known volume hemocytometer\ngrid. Both total tissue lipid and symbiont counts were normalized to the\ncircular area described by the average primary septa length (diameter) for a\nrespective tank and then divided by the number of corals pooled in the sample\n(i.e., 10 or 5). Both area-normalized lipid content and symbiont density were\ncompared among levels of CO2 and feeding conditions using two-way ANOVAs with\ntank as a random factor nested within the CO2 and feeding combinations. Total\nlipid concentration was transformed to - 1/x in order to homogenize the\nvariances. All statistical analyses were conducted on SYSTAT.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_3_description String The Versatile INstrument for the Determination of Total inorganic carbon and titration Alkalinity (VINDTA) 3C is a laboratory alkalinity titration system combined with an extraction unit for coulometric titration, which simultaneously determines the alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon content of a sample. The sample transport is performed with peristaltic pumps and acid is added to the sample using a membrane pump. No pressurizing system is required and only one gas supply (nitrogen or dry and CO2-free air) is necessary. The system uses a Metrohm Titrino 719S, an ORION-Ross pH electrode and a Metrohm reference electrode. The burette, the pipette and the analysis cell have a water jacket around them. Precision is typically +/- 1 umol/kg for TA and/or DIC in open ocean water.

attribute NC_GLOBAL project String OA Nutrition and Coral Calcification
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String OA Nutrition and Coral Calcification
attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String The project description is a modification of the original NSF award abstract.\nThis research project is part of the larger NSF funded CRI-OA collaborative research initiative and was funded as an Ocean Acidification-Category 1, 2010 award. Over the course of this century, all tropical coral reef ecosystems, whether fringing heavily populated coastlines or lining remote islands and atolls, face unprecedented threat from ocean acidification caused by rising levels of atmospheric CO2. In many laboratory experiments conducted to date, calcium carbonate production (calcification) by scleractinian (stony) corals showed an inverse correlation to seawater saturation state OMEGAar), whether OMEGAar was manipulated by acid or CO2 addition. Based on these data, it is predicted that coral calcification rates could decline by up to 80% of modern values by the end of this century. A growing body of new experimental data however, suggests that the coral calcification response to ocean acidification may be less straightforward and a lot more variable than previously recognized. In at least 10 recent experiments including our own, 8 different tropical and temperate species reared under nutritionally-replete but significantly elevated CO2 conditions (780-1200 ppm, OMEAGar ~1.5-2), continued to calcify at rates comparable to conspecifics reared under ambient CO2. These experimental results are consistent with initial field data collected on reefs in the eastern Pacific and southern Oman, where corals today live and accrete their skeletons under conditions equivalent to 2X and 3X pre-industrial CO2. On these high CO2, high nutrient reefs (where nitrate concentrations typically exceed 2.5 micro-molar), coral growth rates rival, and sometimes even exceed, those of conspecifics in low CO2, oligotrophic reef environments.\nThe investigators propose that a coral's energetic status, tightly coupled to the availability of inorganic nutrients and/or food, is a key factor in the calcification response to CO2-induced ocean acidification. Their hypothesis, if confirmed by the proposed laboratory investigations, implies that predicted changes in coastal and open ocean nutrient concentrations over the course of this century, driven by both climate impacts on ocean stratification and by increased human activity in coastal regions, could play a critical role in exacerbating and in some areas, modulating the coral reef response to ocean acidification. This research program builds on the investigators initial results and observations. The planned laboratory experiments will test the hypothesis that: (1) The coral calcification response to ocean acidification is linked to the energetic status of the coral host. The relative contribution of symbiont photosynthesis and heterotrophic feeding to a coral's energetic status varies amongst species. Enhancing the energetic status of corals reared under high CO2, either by stimulating photosynthesis with inorganic nutrients or by direct heterotrophic feeding of the host lowers the sensitivity of calcification to decreased seawater OMEGAar; (2) A species-specific threshold CO2 level exists over which enhanced energetic status can no longer compensate for decreased OMEGAar of the external seawater. Similarly, we will test the hypothesis that a nutrient threshold exists over which nutrients become detrimental for calcification even under high CO2 conditions; and (3) Temperature-induced reduction of algal symbionts is one stressor that can reduce the energetic reserve of the coral host and exacerbate the calcification response to ocean acidification.\nThe investigator's initial findings highlight the critical importance of energetic status in the coral calcification response to ocean acidification. Verification of these findings in the laboratory, and identification of nutrient and CO2 thresholds for a range of species will have immediate, direct impact on predictions of reef resilience in a high CO2 world. The research project brings together a diverse group of expertise in coral biogeochemistry, chemical oceanography, molecular biology and coral reproductive ecology to focus on a problem that has enormous societal, economic and conservation relevance.
