  • Data for: Carbonate chemistry fitness landscapes inform diatom resilience to future perturbations

    This file contains data and associated R code for producing the figures, tables and analysis/models within the manuscript Ferderer et al., Carbonate chemistry fitness landscapes inform diatom resilience to future perturbations. Data was collected at IMAS by Aaron Ferderer.

  • Effect of dissolved iron (II) and temperature on growth of the Southern Ocean phytoplankton species Fragilariopsis cylindrus and Phaeocystis antarctica

    In this dataset, we compared growth of Fraglariopsis cylindrus and Phyaeocystis antarctica collected from coastal and open ocean water at 3 °C, 5 °C and 7 °C, with and without additions of 5 nM dFe(II).

    Sand flathead (Platycephaluss bassensis) from a heavily fished region show greater thermal sensitivity of metabolic rate and a reduced capacity for thermal acclimation

    This dataset contains physiological measurements collected from sand flathead (Platycephalus bassensis) to examine regional differences in thermal performance between Tasmania’s heavily fished southern population and the more lightly fished northern population. Fish were captured from both regions and acclimated for three weeks under common laboratory conditions before measurements were taken. The dataset includes standard metabolic rate (SMR), maximum metabolic rate (MMR), and aerobic scope (AS) recorded during acute thermal exposure at 12.5°C, 15°C, and 20°C using intermittent‑flow respirometry. To assess longer‑term thermal tolerance, critical thermal maximum (CTmax) was measured after a 14‑day acclimation to each test temperature. The purpose of the study was to determine whether populations with different histories of fishing pressure exhibit divergent thermal sensitivities and metabolic responses to warming. This information contributes to understanding how exploitation history may influence physiological resilience to climate change in coastal fisheries.

  • Microcosm experiment on Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement 2023

    To understand the environmental impacts of added alkaline minerals on plankton communities, we enclosed natural coastal plankton communities using 53L microcosms and exposed these communities to ground factory slag (2g/53L) and olivine (100g/53L). The microcosms of seawater were kept at 13.5 °C with circulations. The biochemical changes and responses in microcosms were monitored and measured for 21 days. The measured parameters are pH, total alkalinity, temperature, macro-nutrients concentrations, total chlorophyll-a, flow cytometry data, POC/PON, BSi, Rapid Light Curves, zooplankton abundance, the dissolved trace metal concentrations, and the particulate trace metal concentrations.
