String acquisition_description
"To evaluate whether rates of sea urchin grazing on C. nereostratum have
changed or will change with ocean warming and acidification, we cultured C.
nereostratum and S. polyacanthus under experimental conditions mimicking past,
present, and predicted future levels of ocean temperature and pCO2 in the
region, then followed this three-month culturing period with a controlled
feeding experiment conducted under the same conditions. Small C. nereostratum
colonies (~4-5 cm diameter) and large S. polyacanthus (~45-60 mm test
diameter) were live collected from Adak in 2015 and immediately transported to
the Northeastern University Marine Science Center in Nahant, Massachusetts.
There, all specimens were acclimated to laboratory conditions at 8.5 \\u00b0C
for two weeks, after which individual C. nereostratum colonies were attached
to the underside of plastic petri dishes using cyanoacrylate glue and then
allowed to acclimate for an additional two weeks before being moved to
experimental aquaria. Conditions were then incrementally modified to achieve
target temperature and pCO2 levels (see below) over a one-week period. After
reaching target conditions, each 42-L aquarium was dosed with 213 mL of
calcein fluorescent dye (Western Chemicals Inc.), which was recirculated in
the aquaria for three days and then flushed from the system. Coralline algae
incorporate the dye into their skeleton, thus creating a distinct line that
can be viewed via fluorescent microscopy to demark the region of new growth
within each individual.
We employed four pCO2 conditions and three temperatures that, while
factorially crossed, spanned pre-industrial, present-day, and projected year
2100 conditions (assuming an IPCC \\\"business as usual\\\" carbon emissions
scenario; Pachauri and Meyer 2014). More extreme temperature (12.5 degrees C)
and pCO2 (2800 micro-atm) conditions were also employed in the broader
experiment but were not included in our experimental feeding assay because
they are not predicted to occur until year 2500, or later. For each treatment,
we set temperature to average summertime conditions, the time when ~75% of C.
nereostratum growth occurs (Adey et al. 2013).
All treatments (4 pCO2 concentrations x 3 temperatures, fully factorial) were
housed on individual shelves and consisted of three 42-liter acrylic aquaria
and one 65-liter sump (n = 3 tanks/treatment). The aquaria were connected to a
sump via a common overflow and return line but were each independently and
continuously replenished with new seawater-thereby establishing them as true
experimental replicates. The sump contained a filter box with a nylon mesh
particle filter and activated carbon, a protein skimmer (Eshopps PSK-75), and
a return pump, all of which was connected to a water chiller (Coralife 1/4HP).
Filtered natural seawater was added via Darhor manual flow controllers at a
rate of 50 mL/min/tank, resulting in full replacement of treatment water every
~21 hours-sufficiently fast to prevent material depletion of the dissolved
constituents of the seawater yet slow enough to allow the mixed gases being
sparged into the experimental treatments to approach equilibrium with the
seawater. Mixed gases were sparged into each tank with 91 cm long flexible
bubblers at the rate of ~1 L/min via Darhor needle-valve gas flow controllers.
Two 12,000K LED light arrays (Ecoxotic Panorama, Pro 24V) were mounted above
each tank and set to an irradiance that mirrored average summer daylight
irradiance at 10 m depth in the Aleutian Islands (~258 micro-E m-2 s-1; 12 hr
light:12 hr dark cycle).
Over the course of the four-month experiment, we measured pH (Accumet AB15 pH
meter with Accufet solid state probe), salinity (YSI3200 meter with K=10
conductivity electrode and temperature probe), and temperature (NIST traceable
red spirit glass thermometer) in each tank every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday. The pCO2 of the gas mixtures was measured with a Qubit S151 infrared
CO2 analyzer and calibrated with certified mixed CO2 from Airgas Incorporated.
Every 10 days, we characterized the full carbonate system chemistry of the
experimental treatments from measured total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic
carbon, temperature, and salinity. For this, seawater samples were obtained in
250 mL borosilicate ground-glass-stoppered bottles and immediately poisoned
with 100 micro-L of saturated HgCl2 solution to halt biological activity
(Dickson et al. 2007). Total alkalinity was measured via closed-cell
potentiometric Gran titration and dissolved inorganic carbon was measured with
a UIC 5400 Coulometer on a VINDTA 3C (Marianda Incorporated) using Dickson
certified seawater reference material. Seawater pCO2, pH, carbonate ion
concentration ([CO32-]) bicarbonate ion concentration ([HCO3-]), aqueous CO2,
and calcite saturation state were calculated with the program CO2SYS (Lewis
and Wallace 1998), using Roy and colleague's (1993) values for the K1 and K2
carbonic acid constants, the Mucci (1983) value for the stoichiometric calcite
solubility product, the seawater pH scale, and an atmospheric pressure of
1.015 atm.
At the beginning of the experiment we measured the buoyant weight of each
specimen. We then scrubbed each specimen with a toothbrush and reweighed it
every month and at the end of the experiment. With each weighing, we also
photographed the specimen with a ruler and Reef Watch coral bleaching card in
the field of view. We then measured the 2-d surface area (coralline algae) or
test diameter (urchin) of the photographed specimens (Image J, NIH). Following
a three-month incubation, a subset of the coralline algae was placed
individually in cages and paired with a single urchin to quantify bioerosion
rate under the different treatments, while the remaining algae were retained
as experimental controls during the 20-day feeding experiment, and
subsequently measured for skeletal density. Following the feeding experiment,
all coralline algae were sectioned with a diamond lapidary saw (Inland Craft
SwapTop 6.5\\\" Diamond Trim Saw) and either frozen for genetic analysis or
sectioned into 6 mm slices, rinsed in a series of two 90% Ethanol baths, and
allowed to air dry for further examination of growth and skeletal density.
After three months of culturing C. nereostratum and large S. polyacanthus
(mean test diameter \\u00b1 SE = 53 \\u00b1 1 mm) under various temperature and
pCO2 conditions (see above), we conducted a controlled feeding assay.
Individual coralline algae were randomly paired with sea urchins from the same
tank and placed into small cages (n = 5/tank, 15/treatment) and returned to
aquaria, with the remaining coralline algae from each tank serving as
controls. Buoyant weight measurements and photographs of each alga and urchin
were obtained at the beginning of the experiment (as described above) and
again every five days. We excluded replicates where: (i) the sea urchin
appeared moribund or died during the assay; or (ii) negligible grazing
occurred throughout the experiment, indicating severe stress to the animal.
Buoyant weights were converted to dry weight (mg) using an empirically-derived
conversion factor (linear regression: -0.117448 + 1.746361 * buoyant mass;
adjusted R^2 = 0.9996; p < 0.001). To calculate the amount of C. nereostratum
(mg CaCO3 dry weight) consumed by each urchin at each sampling interval while
also accounting for the potential gain or loss of mass within the treatment
alga, we used the equation [Ti x (Cf/Ci)] - Tf, where Ti and Tf is the initial
and final mass (respectively) of an alga exposed to herbivory, and Ci and
Cf\\u00a0 is the initial and final mass (respectively) of its paired control.
For this exercise, we averaged correction factors (Cf/Ci) for all control
algae in a given tank, and applied this average correction factor to each
treatment alga in the same tank. We then computed grazing rate (amount
consumed/day) for each sea urchin, as well as per capita grazing rates
standardized by the surface area of C. nereostratum.";

"Extracted from the NSF award abstract:
Marine calcifying organisms are most at risk to rapid ocean acidification (OA) in cold-water ecosystems. The investigators propose to determine if a globally unique and widespread calcareous alga in Alaska's Aleutian archipelago, Clathromorphum nereostratum, is threatened with extinction due to the combined effects of OA and food web alterations. C. nereostratum is a slow growing coralline alga that can live to at least 2000 years. It accretes massive 'bioherms' that dominate the regions' rocky substrate both under kelp forests and deforested sea urchin barrens. It develops growth bands (similar to tree rings) in its calcareous skeleton, which effectively record its annual calcification rate over centuries. Pilot data suggest the skeletal density of C. nereostratum began to decline precipitously in the 1990's in some parts of the Aleutian archipelago. The investigators now propose to use high-resolution microscopy and microCT imaging to examine how the growth and skeletal density of C. nereostratum has changed in the past 300 years (i.e., since the industrial revolution) across the western Aleutians. They will compare their records of algal skeletal densities and their variation through time with reconstructions of past climate to infer causes of change. In addition, the investigators will examine whether the alga's defense against grazing by sea urchins is compromised by ongoing ocean acidification. The investigators will survey the extent of C. nereostratum bioerosion occurring at 10 sites spanning the western Aleutians, both inside and outside of kelp forests. At each site they will compare these patterns to observed and monitored ecosystem trophic structure and recent C. nereostratum calcification rates. Field observations will be combined with laboratory experiments to determine if it is a decline in the alga's skeletal density (due to recent OA and warming), an increase in grazing intensity (due to recent trophic-level dysfunction), or their interactive effects that are likely responsible for bioerosion patterns inside vs. outside of forests. By sampling C. nereostratum inside and outside of forests, they will determine if kelp forests locally increase pH via photosynthesis, and thus buffer the effects of OA on coralline calcification. The combination of field observations with laboratory controlled experiments, manipulating CO2 and temperature, will help elucidate drivers of calcification and project how these species interactions will likely change in the near future. The project will provide the first in situ example of how ongoing ocean acidification is affecting the physiology of long-lived, carbonate producing organisms in the subarctic North Pacific. It will also be one of the first studies to document whether OA, ocean warming, and food web changes to ecological processes are interacting in complex ways to reshape the outcome of species interactions in nature.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
