| Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System coral buoyant weights from the Sapodilla Caye, Belize from UNC starting 2010 (OA - Ocean Acidification and Warming Impact on Calcification project) | In the laboratory experiments, Siderastrea siderea coral specimens from each of the 18 colonies were reared for 95 days (5 August − 8 November 2011) in each of twelve 38 L glass aquaria (18 specimens per tank; 216 specimens in total) filled with artificial seawater formulated at a salinity of 35 with Instant Ocean Sea Salt and deionized water. Four pCO2 partial pressures [324, 477, 604, and 2553) ppm)], established by mixing pure CO2 with compressed air using Aalborg mass flow controllers, were bubbled with microporous ceramic airstones into the triplicate glass aquaria (12 tanks total). Coral specimens from each of the 18 colonies were reared in each of the 12 replicate tanks. The pCO2 experiments were maintained at an average temperature of 28 ºC. | Microporous Ceramic Airstones |

| CO2 × temperature specific early life survival and growth of Menidia menidia assessed by 5 factorial experiments | Elevated CO2 levels were achieved via gas proportioners (ColeParmer) mixing air with 100% CO2 (bone dry grade) that was delivered continuously to the bottom of each replicate rearing container via airstone. | airstone |
