statement: Mitochondria of juvenile European sea bass hearts are impaired by acute 17 warming, but seem to benefit from acclimation to warmer temperatures, they are only marginally 18 impacted by ocean acidification. 19 20 CII -Complex II of the electron transport system 48 CIV -Complex IV of the electron transport system 49 dph -Days post hatch 50 IPCC -Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 51 Leak-CI -State 4 respiration of complex I 52 MS-222 -Tricaine methane sulfonate 53 OA -Ocean acidification 54 OAW -Ocean acidification and warming 55 OW -Ocean warming 56 OXPHOS -Full state 3 respiration of the electron transport system 57 OXPHOS-CI -State 3 respiration of complex I 58 OXPHOS-CII -State 3 respiration of complex II 59 OXPHOS-cytC -State 3 respiration after addition of cytochrome c 60 PCO 2 -Partial pressure of CO 2 61 RCP -Representative concentration pathway 62 RCR o -Respiratory control ratio 63 State 4 o -State 4 respiration after addition of oligomycin 64 W -Warm life conditioned group 65 66 the other hand, compensational processes after long-term and developmental thermal acclimation 130 could include changes in mitochondrial membrane properties, which would reduce leak respiration 131rates and consequently restore RCR. Additionally, we wanted to fathom the capacities of seabass 132 mitochondria to cope with OA, especially when combined with OW. We hypothesized that the 133 changes in intracellular PCO 2 and bicarbonate concentration elicited by OA would affect 134 mitochondrial metabolism, putting further pressure on the cellular energy metabolism. 135 136 157 conditions were applied directly after division into the experimental tanks. Starting at 7 dph (mouth 158 opening), larvae were fed with live artemia, hatched from High HUFA Premium artemia cysts (Catvis, 159 AE 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands). Until 33 dph the artemia were fed to the larvae 24h after rearing 160 cysts in sea water, afterwards the artemia nauplii themselves were fed with cod liver oil and dry 161 yeast after 24 h and fed to the larvae after 48 h. The artemia were transferred to the larval rearing 162 tanks from two storage tanks (one for each temperature) with peristaltic pumps, their concentration 163 in the tanks was maintained high during the day, to allow ad libitum feeding, excess artemia left the 164 tank via the waste water outflow. The 15 h photoperiod in the larval rearing room lasted from 7 am
