Figure 1.
Relative growth rates (RGR) of juvenile Ecklonia radiata over 21 days, measured as linear extension of the blade under (a) ambient pH conditions (fluctuating pHNBS [8.4 during the day, 7.8 at night], constant pHNBS at 8.4, 8.1 and 7.8); and (b) OA conditions (the same treatments as in (a) but with pHNBS reduced by 0.3 units in each treatment). Data are displayed as means ± standard error, n = 4–6. * denotes significantly different treatments, as revealed by Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference tests (α = 0.05).
