Abalone consumption rates from experiment at the Sitka Sound Science Center (SSSC) from June-October 2017 (High latitude kelp dynamics project)

To determine the effect of current and future seasonal differences in carbonate chemistry on abalone bioenergetics, this experiment exposed juvenile, non-reproductive (36 ± 5 mm) H. kamschatkana to three pH/pCO2 levels (i.e., pHT 8.1, 7.8, 7.5) for four months in a flow-through system at the Sitka Sound Science Center (SSSC) from June-October 2017.

为明确当前与未来海洋碳酸盐化学季节差异对鲍鱼生物能学的影响，本实验于2017年6月至10月在锡特卡湾科学中心（Sitka Sound Science Center, SSSC）的流水养殖系统中开展，将规格为36±5 mm的非繁殖期幼体堪察加鲍（H. kamschatkana）置于3个pH/pCO₂水平（即pHT 8.1、7.8、7.5）下进行了为期4个月的暴露培养。
