attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String Overview:\\u00a0 The goal of these laboratory experiments were to determine the\ndegree to which lowered seawater pH would inhibit egg hatching success in\nmarine zooplankton and specifically in the copepod, Calanus\nfinmarchicus.\\u00a0 To do this, adult female zooplankton were collected at an\nopen coastal site.\\u00a0 The eggs from these females were then collected and\nincubated for several days in several tanks of seawater bubbled with premixed\ngas at a specific CO2\\u00a0content.\\u00a0 The proportion of eggs which hatched\nwere determined in replicate.\\u00a0 While the eggs were being incubated,\nwaters in each tank were monitored with sensors for temperature, salinity, pH,\nand dissolved oxygen.\\u00a0 Once or twice during an experiment, 2 L of\nseawater were withdrawn for measurement of the carbonate system parameters\n(salinity, alkalinity, total carbon dioxide) and nutrient\nconcentrations.\\u00a0 From these high-precision carbonate measurements, the\ntotal pH and other carbonate system parameters were calculated.\\u00a0 Thus,\ninhibition of hatching success was related to the pH of the tanks.\n \nEgg Collection:\\u00a0 Zooplankton were collected from an open coastal\nsite\\u00a0 (43.7474 N, 69.5010 W) nearby the University of Maine's Darling\nMarine Center, using a 1-m 300 m mesh ring net towed from 100 m to the\nsurface.\\u00a0 Sufficient quantities of seawater was also collected from 30-40\nm depth for most experiments.\\u00a0 The copepod, Calanus finmarchicus, was\nstudied in experiments 1-3 and 6-13, while the euphausid, Meganyctiphanes\nnorvegica, was used in experiments 4 and 5.\\u00a0 Females were separated from\nthe catch and allowed to release their eggs for about a day.\\u00a0 On\noccasional experiments, insufficient numbers of females were collected to\nsupply the numbers of eggs required in an experiment.\\u00a0 In this case, C.\nfinmarchicus eggs from females maintained in the laboratory were used\ninstead.\\u00a0 These females were maintained at 6C and were fed twice daily at\nconcentrations of >500 g C L-1\\u00a0with an equal mixture of Gymnodinium sp.,\nRhodomonas sp. and Oxyrrhis marina.\\u00a0 For experiments with the laboratory-\nmaintained females, waters used in the experimental tanks were those pumped\nfrom the Marine Center's dock into the marine aquarium building, which housed\nour laboratory.\\u00a0 The estuary's seawater was only slightly less saline\n(salinities of 30.2-31.1) than the open coastal waters (31.1-32.4).\\u00a0 All\nseawaters used were filtered through 1.0 m filters.\n \nIncubations at differing pH:\\u00a0 After obtaining sufficient numbers of eggs,\nthe eggs were separated in replicate Petri dishes with 30 eggs per dish.\\u00a0\nThe dishes were specially modified with Nitex screen to allow exchange between\nthe interior of the dish and the surrounding seawater.\\u00a0 Between 3 and 5\ntanks containing 12.5 L of seawater had been bubbled with specialty-purchased\ngas mixtures of 20% oxygen, a preselected CO2\\u00a0concentration (between 913\nand 15,290 ppm), and the remainder nitrogen.\\u00a0 One experiment (experiment\n7) used two gases to reach a very low pH, one gas cylinder containing 50,000\nppm CO2\\u00a0in N2, and one containing 913 ppm CO2\\u00a0in 20% O2\\u00a0and the\nremainder N2.\\u00a0 In this tank, the dissolved oxygen content in the tank\nremained about the same level as the other tanks in the experiment, above 70%\nof saturation.\\u00a0 Each experiment was begun by placing up to 8 replicate\nPetri dishes with the eggs into each tank.\\u00a0 The tanks were maintained in\nthis state for about 24 hours past the hatching time determined by McLaren et\nal. (1969) for the particular temperature.\\u00a0 The experiment ended by\nremoving the replicate Petri dishes and manually counting the number of\nnauplii contained within each petri dish.\\u00a0 Hatching success was the\npercentage of nauplii counted relative to the number of eggs initially in the\ndish.

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_acronym String OA Calanus Survival
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. While attention concerning impacts of predicted acidification of the world's oceans has focused on calcifying organisms, non-calcifying plankton may also be vulnerable. In this project, the investigator will evaluate the potential for impacts of ocean acidification on the reproductive success of three species of planktonic copepods in the genus Calanus that are prominent in high latitude oceans. C. finmarchicus dominates the mesozooplankton biomass across much of the coastal and deep North Atlantic Ocean. C. glacialis and the larger C. hyperboreus are among the most abundant planktonic copepods in the Arctic Ocean. Previous research showed that hatching success of C. finmarchicus eggs was severely inhibited by increased CO2 and lower pH in seawater, but only tested at an extreme level. Preliminary results in the investigator's laboratory indicate that hatching success of C. finmarchicus is substantially reduced at increased seawater CO2 concentrations corresponding to pH levels between 7.9 and 7.5. Predictions of likely decline of surface pH levels to 7.7-7.8 over the next century raise questions about impacts on Calanus population dynamics if these preliminary results are confirmed. C. finmarchicus, for example, is presently at the southern edge of its range in the Gulf of Maine. The combination of higher surface layer temperature and lower pH may inhibit reproductive success during the late summer/fall bloom, which the PI hypothesize is critical to sustain the overwintering stock in this region. The investigators will collect C. finmarchicus females from the Gulf of Maine and, with the assistance of Canadian colleagues, C. glacialis and C. hyperboreus females from the deep lower St. Lawrence Estuary. They will conduct laboratory experiments in which hatching success, development and growth of Calanus nauplius stages are measured in controls of natural seawater and at a series of treatments in which CO2 concentrations, pH and temperature are rigorously controlled to represent possible future states of the northern ocean. The investigators will measure present surface and deep pCO2 and pH across the Gulf of Maine, including its deep basins, during a research cruise. The study will evaluate the hypothesis that predicted levels of CO2 increase in the northern ocean will impact population dynamics of the Calanus species. Using the results from the research cruise and a recently developed 1-D, Individual-Based life cycle model, the PI will explore in detail scenarios of impact of higher temperature and lower surface and deep pH on population dynamics of C. finmarchicus in the Gulf of Maine.\nThe lipid-rich Calanus species are considered key intermediary links between primary production and higher trophic levels in North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean food webs. Impacts of higher surface temperature and lower pH on reproductive success may potentially lead to profound changes in energy transfer and structure of pelagic ecosystems in the northern oceans. In the Gulf of Maine, C. finmarchicus serves as primary prey for herring, sand lance, and mackerel, as well as the endangered northern right whale, warranting thorough evaluation of ocean acidification effects on its population dynamics.
