Semi‐arid estuaries are characterized by pronounced seasonal variability, and a functional understanding of these systems requires constraint of coupled biogeochemical processes and relevant temporal and spatial scales. Here we integrate two years of spatial surveys and time‐series measurements to quantify physical, chemical and biological drivers in the largest estuarine system in the Great Barrier Reef […]
GENEVA: The gradual acidification of the subarctic region of the Pacific ocean, is causing a significant increase in the production of nitrous oxide, an ozone-depleting greenhouse gas, according to a study. The researchers, including those from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, studied the production of nitrous oxide near the Hokkaido […]
Objective: To study the effects of dissolved oxygen and pH on the expression of A type HBGA-like in pacific oysters. Methods: The HBGAs-like in the pacific oysters were isolated and extracted, and the human HBGAs were used for typing. The A type HBGAs was detected by ELISA method, and the P/N value was calculated. The […]
Are all areas of the globe affected equally by ocean acidification? What are its socio-economic consequences? While our general understanding of the impacts of ocean acidification is increasing, information in some areas of the world remains scarce. To help address this gap, the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) supported the Indian Ocean Regional […]
Highlights • The comprehensive effects of toxic cyanobacteria and high pH on mussels were assessed. • Interaction between cyanobacteria and high pH on physiological indicator were found. • Compare to high pH, toxic M. aeruginosa induce more severe oxidative stress response. • Toxic algae or high pH exposure history showed latent effects on Hyriopsis cumingii. […]
