| Summary: | The anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are causing an increase in atmospheric and oceanic temperatures. In the oceans, seawater temperature rises in parallel to the decrease in pH caused by the reaction of rising atmospheric CO2 with water. The combined phenomenon is known as Ocean Acidification and Warming (OAW). Rising temperatures and decreased water pH may induce adjustments in the energy budget of fish, requiring more energy for protein turnover and for ion and acid-base balance. Since most of these processes depend on the mitochondrial provision of ATP, this PhD project investigated if rising temperature and PCO2 affect the mitochondrial functioning with consequences for the energy budget and acclimation potential of the animals to climate changes. Mitochondria are specialised cellular organelles and their degree of specialisation may vary according to species and life-stage. To cover a broad range of this variability, this thesis analysed firstly the mitochondria of juvenile polar cod ... |
