Abstract The planktonic larvae of the American lobster (Homarus americanus H. Milne Edwards, 1837) in Gulf Maine typically hatch summer and are sensitive to conditions water column including temperature, salinity, prey availability. Their ability survive at this stage has both ecological economic impacts New England states disproportionately Maine. While monitoring surveys for all other life stages have occurred consistently throughout Maine, understanding density seasonality larval supply...
Abstract Anthropogenic carbon emissions released into the atmosphere is driving rapid, concurrent increases in temperature and acidity across world's oceans. Disentangling interactive effects of warming acidification on vulnerable life stages important to our understanding responses marine species climate change. This study evaluates these stressors acute response gene expression postlarval American lobster ( Homarus americanus ), a whose geographic range acidifying faster than most In...
Abstract Calanus finmarchicus were reared from eggs to adults at 12°C and 16°C with non‐limiting food in combination ambient (600 μ atm) high (1100 p CO 2 . These conditions are likely be encountered by the species southern margins of its biogeographical range end century. Dry weight (DW), carbon (C) nitrogen (N) mass, oil‐sac volume (OSV), fatty acid composition (FA), oxygen consumption rates (OCR) measured on newly molted stage CV copepodites recently adult females. By focusing our...
