Raw data of physical oceanography during RV HEINCKE cruise HE689

Raw physical oceanography data was acquired by a ship-based Seabird SBE911plus CTD-Rosette system onboard RV HEINCKE. The CTD was equipped with duplicate sensors for temperature (SBE3plus), conductivity (SBE4) and oxygen (SBE43). Additional sensors such as a WET Labs C-Star transmissometer, a WET Labs ECO-AFL fluorometer (FLRTD) and an altimeter (Teledyne Benthos PSA-916) were mounted to the CTD. The data was recorded using pre-cruise calibration coefficients. No correction, post-cruise calibration or quality control was applied. Processed profile data are available via the link below (Other version).

Seawater carbonate chemistry and growth, reproduction of calcifying and non-calcifying epibionts of a brown macroalga in a laboratory experiment

Seaweeds are key species of the Baltic Sea benthic ecosystems. They are the substratum of numerous fouling epibionts like bryozoans and tubeworms. Several of these epibionts bear calcified structures and could be impacted by the high pCO2 events of the late summer upwellings in the Baltic nearshores. Those events are expected to increase in strength and duration with global change and ocean acidification. If calcifying epibionts are impacted by transient acidification as driven by upwelling events, their increasing prevalence could cause a shift of the fouling communities toward fleshy species. The aim of the present study was to test the sensitivity of selected seaweed macrofoulers to transient elevation of pCO2 in their natural microenvironment, i.e. the boundary layer covering the thallus surface of brown seaweeds. Fragments of the macroalga Fucus serratus bearing an epibiotic community composed of the calcifiers Spirorbis spirorbis (Annelida) and Electra pilosa (Bryozoa) and the non-calcifier Alcyonidium hirsutum (Bryozoa) were maintained for 30 days under three pCO2 conditions: natural 460±59 µatm, present-day upwelling1193±166 µatm and future upwelling 3150±446 µatm. Only the highest pCO2 caused a significant reduction of growth rates and settlement of S. spirorbis individuals. Additionally, S. spirorbis settled juveniles exhibited enhanced calcification of 40% during daylight hours compared to dark hours, possibly reflecting a day-night alternation of an acidification-modulating effect by algal photosynthesis as opposed to an acidification-enhancing effect of algal respiration. E. pilosa colonies showed significantly increased growth rates at intermediate pCO2 (1193 µatm) but no response to higher pCO2. No effect of acidification on A. hirsutum colonies growth rates was observed. The results suggest a remarkable resistance of the algal macro-epibionts to levels of acidification occurring at present day upwellings in the Baltic. Only extreme future upwelling conditions impacted the tubeworm S. spirorbis, but not the bryozoans.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and distribution of coastal benthic foraminifera

Coastal ecosystems are subjected to both large natural variability and increasing anthropogenic impact on environmental parameters such as changes in salinity, temperature, and pH. This study documents the distribution of living benthic foraminifera under the influence of multiple environmental stressors in the Skagerrak-Baltic Sea region. Sediment core tops were studied at five sites along a transect from the Skagerrak to the Baltic Sea, with strong environmental gradients, especially in terms of salinity, pH, calcium carbonate saturation and dissolved oxygen concentration in the bottom water and pore water. We found that living foraminiferal densities and species richness were higher at the Skagerrak station, where the general living conditions were relatively beneficial for Foraminifera, with higher salinity and Ωcalc in the water column and higher pH and oxygen concentration in the bottom and pore water. The most common species reported at each station reflect the differences in the environmental conditions between the stations. The dominant species were Cassidulina laevigata and Hyalinea balthica in the Skagerrak, Stainforthia fusiformis, Nonionella aff. stella and Nonionoides turgida in the Kattegat and N. aff. stella and Nonionellina labradorica in the Öresund. The most adverse conditions, such as low salinity, low Ωcalc, low dissolved oxygen concentrations and low pH, were noted at the Baltic Sea stations, where the calcareous tests of the dominant living taxa Ammonia spp. and Elphidium spp. were partially to completely dissolved, probably due to a combination of different stressors affecting the required energy for biomineralization. Even though Foraminifera are able to live in extremely varying environmental conditions, the present results suggest that the benthic coastal ecosystems in the studied region, which are apparently affected by an increase in the range of environmental variability, will probably be even more influenced by a future increase in anthropogenic impacts, including coastal ocean acidification and deoxygenation.

Meeresmilben (Acari, Halacaridae) im tropischen Westaustralien - Vergleich mit der Fauna anderer Regionen Australiens

Die Halacaridae (Meeresmilben) gehören, mit ihrer Körpergröße von 200-500 mym, zum Meiobenthos. Unter den Milben sind sie die einzigen, die vollständig an ein Leben im Meer angepasst sind; sie besiedeln den Bereich von der oberen Gezeitenlinie bis in die Tiefseegräben. Zur Zeit sind etwa 900 Arten bekannt. Im Vergleich zu den Küsten im Osten und Westen des Nordatlantiks zeichnen sich die Australiens durch eine äußerst artenreiche Halacaridenfauna aus: jede geographische Region entlang der Küste scheint in erster Linie eigene Arten zu beherbergen. Die geplanten Probennahmen bei Dampier an der tropischen Nordwestküste Australiens sollen Daten liefern für einen Vergleich mit den bereits bearbeiteten Faunen von Rottnest Island (Südwestaustralien) und dem Great Barrier Reef (Ostaustralien).

Evolution und Biogeographie der benthischen Tiefseefauna des Ostpazifiks (Expedition SO 158)

Während der Tiefsee-Expedition SO 158 mit F.S 'Sonne' in das Gebiet zwischen Galapagosspreizungszentrum und -plattform sollen bodenlebende Meeresorganismen gesammelt werden. Die Auswertung wird sich auf die Schlüsselgruppen Kinorhyncha, Loricifera, Copepoda, Brachiopoda und Porifera konzentrieren, die nach den Erfahrungen bei früheren Tiefsee-Expeditionen in genügend hoher Anzahl im Weichboden und auf Steinen zu erwarten sind. Die großräumige Variabilität von Tiefsee-Tiergemeinschaften im Ostpazifik soll untersucht werden, um Aussagen über das Verbreitungsareal von Tierarten in der Tiefsee und über den Einfluß von geomorphologischen Strukturen wie dem Spreizungszentrum treffen zu können. Außerdem sollen potentielle Anpassungen (Sinnesorgane, endosymbiontische Bakterien in Darm oder Integument?) an das Leben in der Tiefsee bei den mikroskopischen Kinorhyncha und Loricifera ultastrukturell geprüft werden. Elektronenmikroskopische Arbeiten bei Kinorhyncha, Loricifera und Brachiopoda tragen zudem dazu bei, die Evolution dieser Tiergruppen besser zu verstehen.

Physical oceanography during RV HEINCKE cruise HE689

Conductivity-temperature-depth profiles were measured using a Seabird SBE 911plus CTD during RV HEINCKE cruise HE689. The CTD was equipped with duplicate sensors for temperature (SBE3plus), conductivity (SBE4) and oxygen (SBE43). Additional sensors such as a WET Labs C-Star transmissometer, a WET Labs ECO-AFL fluorometer and an altimeter (PSA-916 Teledyne (Benthos)) were mounted to the CTD. Temperature, conductivity and oxygen sensors are calibrated by the manufacturer once a year before being mounted in January. They are used throughout the year and no post-cruise or in-situ calibration is applied. All other sensors are calibrated irregularly. Data were connected to the station book of the specific cruise as available in the DSHIP database. Processing of the data including removal of obvious outliers followed the procedures described in CTD Processing Logbook of RV HEINCKE (hdl:10013/epic.47427).
