Sea Urchin Behavior: The Oxygen Factor!

Feb 1, 2019 · to explore the potential of subtidal animals to regulate their metabolic processes, we investigated how the oxygen consumption rate (mo 2) of the sea urchin mesocentrotus. Dec 10, 2020 · low oxygen seawater (hypoxia) may be more stressful to reef organisms than high water temperatures and ocean acidity, which are usually considered the most serious. Oxygen uptake (vo 2) by sea urchins has been measured and correlated with partial pressures of oxygen in the ambient water (pio 2) and in coelomic fluid (pcfo 2). Pcfo 2 was also analyzed. Dec 11, 2020 · after their exposure to high temperatures, acidity, low oxygen or combinations of the three, the researchers flipped the urchins upside down.

Jul 1, 2021 · seawater acidification affected sea urchin physiological and behavioral parameters. The effects of reduced ph were less evident in lagoon sea urchins than in coastal ones.
