Abstract
An in situ mesocosm experiment was designed to investigate how exposure to ocean acidification by increased carbon dioxide affected the growth of juvenile oliver flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). A total of 447 individuals were reared in the mesocosm experimental devices deployed at sandy-muddy bottom in the southern coast of East Sea for 43 days and divided into two groups: treatment group (223 individuals, $6.32{\pm}0.75$ cm, high-$CO_2$ environment) and control group (224 individuals, $6.34{\pm}0.84$ cm, natural $CO_2$ environment). The average values of pH and $CO_2$ concentration in the treatment device were $7.63{\pm}0.13$ and $1660{\pm}540$ ${\mu}atm$, respectively, while those in the control device were $8.07{\pm}0.05$ and $514{\pm}65$ ${\mu}atm$, respectively. There was no significant difference in mortality rate between treatment and control group, and the mortalities in two groups gradually decreased during the study period. But, the increase of size and weight of juvenile oliver flounder was higher in control group than treatment group, i.e., weight gain or growth rate was higher in control group. These results suggested that high $CO_2$ environments could have a significant negative influence on the early growth of juvenile oliver flounder.
