attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String All methods are fully described in:\n \nLunden et al. 2014 Frontiers in Marine Science \\u201cAcute survivorship of the\ndeep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa from the Gulf of Mexico under acidification,\nwarming, and deoxygenation\\u201d\n \nFrom the Paper:\n \nForty-one nubbins of L. pertusa used in the experiments were collected in\nNovember 2010 on the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown with ROV Jason II as part of\nthe \\u201cLophelia II\\u201d project jointly sponsored by the Bureau of Ocean\nEnergy Management and the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research in the\nGulf of Mexico (GoM). Permits for the collection of corals were obtained from\nthe U.S. Department of the Interior prior to any collection activities.\nSpatially discrete coral branches were collected with the ROV and placed in\ntemperature-insulated bioboxes (volume = 20 l) at depth. Upon return to the\nsurface, corals were kept alive in 20 l aquaria in the ship\\u2019s constant-\ntemperature room. Partial water changes were made regularly while at sea. Upon\nreturn to port, corals were immediately transported overnight to the\nlaboratory on wet ice.\n \nIn the laboratory, corals were maintained in one of two 570 liter\nrecirculating aquaria systems at temperature 8 degrees celsius and salinity 35\nppt (Lunden et al., 2014). Regular partial water changes (15\\u201320%) were\nperformed with seawater made using Instant Ocean\\u00a0sea salt. Submersible\npower heads were placed in each holding tank to ensure water movement and\nturbulence sufficient to cause swaying of coral polyps. Corals were fed three\ntimes weekly using a combination of MarineSnow\\u00a0PlanktonDiet (Two Little\nFishies, Miami Gardens, FL) and freshly hatched Artemia nauplii.\n \nSurvivorship was assessed by daily observations of polyp tissue presence and\nbehavior. Final survivorship counts were taken 3 to 4 days following the end\nof each treatment after transfer to the maintenance tank. Survivorship is\nreported as percent cumulative mortality.\n \nNet calcification was measured using the buoyant weight technique (Davies,\n1989). Coral nubbins were buoyantly weighed at the start and end of each\nexperimental period (days eight and fifteen) using a Denver Instruments SI-64\nanalytical balance (d = 0.1mg, Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). A weighing\nchamber was constructed using 1/2\\u201d plexiglass to prevent disturbances\nfrom air movement during weighing. Each coral nubbin was transported\nindividually from its respective aquarium to the weighing chamber in a four-\nliter Pyrex\\u00a0beaker and suspended from the balance. The buoyant weight was\nrecorded after the coral nubbin stabilized, typically 2 min. Each coral nubbin\nwas weighed three times to determine measurement precision (2\\u20133 mg).\nSeawater density was determined in each aquarium by buoyantly weighing a 2.5\ncm^2 aluminum block with known density (2.7 g/cm^\\u22123). Coral weight in air\n(i.e., dry weight) was calculated by the following equation:\\u00a0\n \nWa = Ww / (1\\u2212 (Dw/SD))\\u00a0\n \nWhere  \n Wa = coral weight in air (dry weight)\\u00a0  \n Ww = coral weight in water (buoyant weight)\\u00a0  \n Dw = density of seawater\\u00a0  \n SD = coral skeletal density (= 2.82 g/cm^\\u22123, Lunden et al.,\n2013).\\u00a0\n \nCoral growth rate is reported as percent growth per day (%/d\\u22121), which\nwas calculated by the equation:\n \nGt = 100 \\u00d7 (Mt2 \\u2212 Mt1)/(Mt1(T2 \\u2212T1))\n \nWhere  \n Gt =growth rate as %/d^\\u22121\\u00a0  \n Mt2 = mass (mg, dry weight) at time 2 (end of experimental period, day\n15)\\u00a0  \n Mt1= mass (mg, dry weight) at time 1 (start of experimental period, day 8)  \n T2 = time 2 (end of experimental period, day 15)\\u00a0  \n T1= time 1 (start of experimental period, day 8)

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String The Gulf of Mexico deep water ecosystems are threatened by the persistent threat of ocean acidification. Deep-water corals will be among the first to feel the effects of this process, in particular the deep-water scleractinians that form their skeleton from aragonite. The continued shoaling of the aragonite saturation horizon (the depth below which aragonite is undersaturated) will place many of the known, and as yet undiscovered, deep-water corals at risk in the very near future. The most common deep-water framework-forming scleractinian in the world's oceans is Lophelia pertusa. This coral is most abundant in the North Atlantic, where aragonite saturation states are relatively high, but it also creates extensive reef structures between 300 and 600 m depth in the Gulf of Mexico where aragonite saturation states were previously unknown. Preliminary data indicate that pH at this depth range is between 7.85 and 8.03, and the aragonite saturation state is typically between 1.28 and 1.69. These are the first measurements of aragonite saturation state for the deep Gulf of Mexico, and are among the lowest Aragonite saturation state yet recorded for framework-forming corals in any body of water, at any depth.\nThis project will examine the effects of ocean acidification on L. pertusa, combining laboratory experiments, rigorous oceanographic measurements, the latest genome and transcriptome sequencing platforms, and quantitative PCR and enzyme assays to examine changes in coral gene expression and enzyme activity related to differences in carbonate chemistry. Short-term and long-term laboratory experiments will be performed at Aragonite saturation state of 1.45 and 0.75 and the organismal (e.g., survivorship and calcification rate) and genetic (e.g., transcript abundance) responses of the coral will be monitored. Genomic DNA and RNA will be extracted, total mRNA purified, and comprehensive and quantitative profiles of the transcriptome generated using a combination of 454 and Illumina sequencing technologies. Key genes in the calcification pathways as well as other differentially expressed genes will be targeted for specific qPCR assays to verify the Illumina sequencing results. On a research cruise, L. pertusa will be sampled (preserved at depth) along a natural gradient in carbonate chemistry, and included in the Illumina sequencing and qPCR assays. Water samples will be obtained by submersible-deployed niskin bottles adjacent to the coral collections as well as CTD casts of the water column overlying the sites. Water samples will be analyzed for pH, alkalinity, nitrates and soluble reactive phosphorus. These will be used in combination with historical data in a model to hindcast Aragonite saturation state.\nThis project will provide new physiological and genetic data on an ecologically-significant and anthropogenically-threatened deepwater coral in the Gulf of Mexico. An experimental system, already developed by the PIs, offers controlled conditions to test the effect of Aragonite saturation state on calcification rates in scleractinians and, subsequently, to identify candidate genes and pathways involved in the response to reduced pH and Aragonite saturation state. Both long-term and population sampling experiments will provide additional transcriptomic data and specifically investigate the expression of the candidate genes. These results will contribute to our understanding of the means by which scleractinians may acclimate and acclimatize to low pH, alkalinity, and Aragonite saturation state. Furthermore, the investigators will continue a time series of oceanographic measurements of the carbonate system in the Gulf of Mexico, which will allow the inclusion of this significant body of water in models of past and future ocean acidification scenarios.
