Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth and feeding of deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa
The global decrease in seawater pH known as ocean acidification has important ecological consequences and is an imminent threat for numerous marine organisms. Even though the deep sea is generally considered to be a stable environment, it can be dynamic and vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances i...

The global decrease in seawater pH known as ocean acidification has important ecological consequences and is an imminent threat for numerous marine organisms. Even though the deep sea is generally considered to be a stable environment, it can be dynamic and vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances including increasing temperature, deoxygenation, ocean acidification and pollution. Lophelia pertusa is among the better-studied cold-water corals but was only recently documented along the US West Coast, growing in acidified conditions. In the present study, coral fragments were collected at ∼300 m depth along the southern California margin and kept in recirculating tanks simulating conditions normally found in the natural environment for this species. At the collection site, waters exhibited persistently low pH and aragonite saturation states (Omega arag) with average values for pH of 7.66 +- 0.01 and Omega arag of 0.81 +- 0.07. In the laboratory, fragments were grown for three weeks in “favorable” pH/Omega arag of 7.9/1.47 (aragonite saturated) and “unfavorable” pH/ Omega arag of 7.6/0.84 (aragonite undersaturated) conditions. There was a highly significant treatment effect (P < 0.001) with an average% net calcification for favorable conditions of 0.023 +- 0.009%/d and net dissolution of −0.010 +- 0.014%/d for unfavorable conditions.
