“…Recent studies show that increased pCO 2 levels can affect the growth, survivorship and physiology of some marine fishes [3][4][5][6][7]. Elevated CO 2 has also been shown to alter behaviours in a wide variety of fish [8][9][10] and invertebrates [11][12][13]. However, most experimental studies focus on short-term exposure to elevated pCO 2 and do not account for phenotypic variation that may enable populations to adapt over the time scale at which OA will occur [2,14].…”

Knowledge of adaptive potential is crucial to predicting the impacts of ocean acidification (OA) on marine organisms. In the spiny damselfish,
Acanthochromis polyacanthus
, individual variation in behavioural tolerance to elevated pCO
2
has been observed and is associated with offspring gene expression patterns in the brain. However, the maternal and paternal contributions of this variation are unknown. To investigate parental influence of behavioural pCO
2
tolerance, we crossed pCO
2
-tolerant fathers with pCO
2
-sensitive mothers and vice versa, reared their offspring at control and elevated pCO
2
levels, and compared the juveniles' brain transcriptional programme. We identified a large influence of parental phenotype on expression patterns of offspring, irrespective of environmental conditions. Circadian rhythm genes, associated with a tolerant parental phenotype, were uniquely expressed in tolerant mother offspring, while tolerant fathers had a greater role in expression of genes associated with histone binding. Expression changes in genes associated with neural plasticity were identified in both offspring types: the maternal line had a greater effect on genes related to neuron growth while paternal influence impacted the expression of synaptic development genes. Our results confirm cellular mechanisms involved in responses to varying lengths of OA exposure, while highlighting the parental phenotype's influence on offspring molecular phenotype.

“…In addition to continuing to assess the impact of elevated CO 2 on the range of behaviors previously studied (above), a few new behaviors have also been investigated. For example, the first study assessing the effect of elevated CO 2 on marine invertebrate reproductive behavior was recently published (Borges et al, 2018). Exposure of male amphipods Gammarus locusta to elevated CO 2 (800 µatm pCO 2 ) for two generations disrupted the chemosensory detection of potential mates (Borges et al, 2018).…”

A light/dark test on swimming crabs Portunus trituberculatus exposed to control (485 µatm pCO 2 ) or elevated (750 µatm and 1,500 µatm pCO 2 ) CO 2 was the first to assess the impact of elevated CO 2 on anxiety-like behavior in a marine invertebrate.…”
“…Elevated pCO2 also resulted in lower rates of whole-organism oxygen uptake rates in amphipods from all populations. Another gammarid amphipod Gammarus locusta showed a similar response at pCO2 levels of 800-900 µatm (Borges, 2018). Metabolic depression represents a short-term survival strategy to protect energy reserves under stressful conditions which is thought to be a characteristic of species more sensitive to elevated CO2, such as polar species (Kelley and Lunden, 2017).…”
