Response to pH stress in the reef-building coral Pocillopora capitata (Anthozoa: Scleractinia)

To evaluate the metabolic response of the symbiotic coral Pocillopora capitata to reduced seawater pH in an in vitro system, 112 branches of P. capitata with no apparent damage from bleaching were collected from the La Boquita (LB) coral community. Two pH treatments were evaluated: a) pH 7.85/7.95 (...
