Abstract
Ocean acidification (OA) affects the physiology and behaviour of some marine organisms, impacting their development and metabolism during vulnerable early-life stages. Among them, the embryo of the cuttlefish develops for about two months in encapsulated eggs with harsh perivitelline conditions of hypoxia and hypercapnia, potentially worsened by OA. In this study, common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis embryos and juveniles, were exposed to five pH conditions (pHT 8.08 to 7.43). Growth, development and metabolite profiles were explored during the embryonic development period up to 10 days-post-hatching. Our results show delayed embryonic development and decreased hatching success at pH 7.43, but no effect on juvenile weight upon hatching. The 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy revealed that decreasing pH affected metabolites profiles in embryos until a metabolic suppression was observed at pH 7.43. The O2 consumption in 10d-old juveniles did not change with pH whereas metabolites indicated a switch to anaerobic metabolism under low pH. Overall, our results suggest that the transition from the encapsulated embryonic stage to the free juvenile life shapes a metabolomic reprogramming more drastically than ocean acidification.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
