Ocean acidification (OA) has resulted in global-scale changes ocean chemistry, which can disturb marine organisms and ecosystems. Despite its extensively populated coastline, many marine-dependent communities, valuable economies, the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) remains a relatively understudied region with respect to acidification. In general, warm waters GOM are better buffered from compared higher latitude seas, yet long-term been documented several regions. OA within is recognized as spatially...
Abstract There is clear evidence that the oceans are warming due to anthropogenic climate change, and northeastern coast of USA contains some fastest areas. This projected continue with serious biological social ramifications for fisheries aquaculture. One species particularly vulnerable Atlantic surfclam ( Spisula solidissima ). The a critically important species, linking marine food webs supporting productive, lucrative, sustainable fishery. also emerging as an attractive candidate...
The Atlantic surfclam (Spisula solidissima) is not currently cultivated on commercial scales, but it represents a potentially beneficial target species for crop diversification in the Northeast region of United States. Surfclams are native to and rapid growth gives this potential reach marketable sizes within 12 18 months. Since heating chilling seawater major operating costs bivalve seed production, thorough understanding how temperature influences juvenile survival during nursery phase –...
Although a good number of studies have investigated the impact larval experience on aspects post-metamorphic performance, only few considered potential stresses experienced by brooded embryos. In this study we separately salinity stress (as low as 10) and hypoxia (1 ml O2 l-1) embryos deposit-feeding polychaete Capitella teleta hatching success, metamorphosis, survival, growth. Salinity reduction from 30 to 10 or 15 reduced relative presumably reducing embryonic but generally had no negative...
Abstract The global threat that ocean acidification poses to marine ecosystems has been recognized by the UN 2030 Agenda under Sustainable Development Goal, Target 14.3: reduce acidification. Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network (GOA-ON) is a collaborative international network detect and understand drivers of in estuarine-coastal-open environments, resulting impacts on ecosystems, make information available optimize modelling studies.

Abstract Bivalve aquaculture is an important and rapidly expanding sector in global food production, yet climate change presents numerous challenges to its continued expansion. The Atlantic surfclam Spisula solidissima emerging as attractive alternate species for aquaculturists across the northeastern United States since it native, grows rapidly, complements region’s established farming framework. However, vulnerable prolonged high temperature conditions, issue that will be exacerbated by...
The Atlantic surfclam (Spisula solidissima) is a promising candidate for species diversification in the United States Northeast because it native, grows rapidly, and relatively recognizable to public. However, gaps husbandry literature have left aquaculture practitioners without complete understanding of how best cultivate this on commercial scales. In particular, few studies examined which culture conditions are necessary rearing juvenile surfclams during nursery phase. To fill gap,...
