Bioresources adaptation is a very specific work that focus on laboratory experiment. It focus on the study of different species and marine organism and its adaptive response towards changes in the marine environment which focus on parameters changes such as temperature and acidification. The study addresses different responses which includes, feed intake, growth, performance and other parameters. A comparative work with Group B on acidification impact and baseline data for adaptation will be provided from Group A\u2019s numerical data output.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Primary productivity such as zooplankton will be subjected to temperature, pH and light regime fluctuation on the survival, growth and productivity performances (Objective I).<\/li>
  • Coral reefs are severely threatened with climate change. The study aim to establish coral population dynamic around Peninsular Malaysia, particularly the unknown mesophotic reefs.
    (Objective II).<\/li>
  • Besides, the chronic and acute climate change impacts on reefs will be investigated via environmental parameters in microcosm set-up (Objective III).<\/li>
  • Fish will be subjected to different temperatures. Concurrently, osmorespiration will be assessed using respirometry assay. Ionoregulation is determined by ionic, plasma and tissue metabolites analysis. This will model mechanism of marine organism to cope with the change (Objective IV).<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The anchor project for this program will be the study on Interaction of ocean dynamics with the climate system of past, present and future using ocean observation, integrated data and numerical modelling. This study will provide the fundamental understanding on ocean characteristics when global warming reach 1.5\u00b0C. Any changes on productivity, bio-chemistry or sea level are basically related to these changes. By using numerical modelling approach, different climate scenarios and global to regional-local comparison will be conducted to understand the difference this scenarios produce especially a different spatial scale. This study will try to gather many different parameters through its baseline data accumulation, so it will provide critical information that can be used by other research projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
