Response of the stenothermal Antarctic fish Notothenia rossii to ocean warming and acidification
Ongoing ocean warming and acidification have been found to particularly affect polar marine ecosystems. However, few data exist about the ability of Antarctic fish to respond to environmental change. We therefore studied the acclimatory capacities of the Antarctic fish Notothenia rossii after 4-6 we...

Ongoing ocean warming and acidification have been found to particularly affect polar marine ecosystems. However, few data exist about the ability of Antarctic fish to respond to environmental change. We therefore studied the acclimatory capacities of the Antarctic fish Notothenia rossii after 4-6 weeks of acclimation to 7°C, hypercapnia (0.2 kPa CO2) and the combination of both. We analysed routine metabolic rate (RMR) during acute thermal challenge and after acclimation, extra- and intracellular acid-base status, mitochondrial as well as enzymatic capacities and lipid composition. Our results showed partially compensated RMR after warm acclimation and no effect of increased PCO2 on the RMR. Hypercapnic acclimation led to a general overcompensation of extracellular pH.
