Summary: As climate change and other human impacts on marine ecosystems intensify, there is a growing need for continuous ocean time series. Fisheries surveys, which collect fisheries-independent data, offer sustained monitoring, collect diverse data types, and have extensive spatial coverage. However, awareness about fisheries survey data collection is often limited. By cataloging ongoing ocean time series programs and presenting case studies on how fisheries survey data contribute to understanding emerging ecosystem management challenges, this study aims to increase awareness and promote regional cooperation.

Summary: The study found a significant negative relationship between the metabolic rate and bacterial richness in oysters, with the bacterial community composition being influenced by metabolic rate, extracellular CO2, and extracellular pH. The effects of extracellular CO2 depended on genotype, and changes in metabolic rate aligned with a shift in ASVs abundance, indicating a clear relationship between host metabolism and the microbiome in oysters.

Summary: The authors utilize machine learning models to identify multifactor tipping points of global marine phytoplankton. The study reveals that temperature and carbon dioxide are the key risks, and predicts that the tipping points of production and resistance in tropical areas will be crossed by 2100.

Summary: The ocean serves as the primary heat reservoir in Earth's climate system, influencing global sea level and climate patterns. However, current ocean observing networks have limited sampling of the deep ocean, highlighting the need for new platforms and strategies to obtain comprehensive data.

Summary: This paper presents a framework for assessing the readiness of policy to address ocean acidification, focusing on coral reefs as a case study. The framework encompasses six dimensions that encompass comprehensive preparation for the impacts of ocean acidification and other anthropogenic hazards. Standardized indicators are defined, leading countries are identified, and the case study of Australia, with its largest coral reef system, is evaluated. The framework provides a rubric for self-assessing policy preparedness and prioritizing future endeavors.

Summary: This study investigated the carbon utilization and internal pH regulation of three calcareous coccolithophores cultured under different pCO(2) levels. The results show species-specific modes of pH control and differences in the utilization of inorganic carbon. The findings suggest a high plasticity in the utilization of dissolved inorganic carbon may explain species-specific differences in responses to ocean acidification.

Summary: Ocean acidification extremes (OAX) in the northeast Pacific and the California current system (CCS) were identified and tracked using a hindcast simulation. The study found that these extremes may have deleterious effects on marine life, especially for organisms exposed to long-lasting events with corrosive conditions.

Summary: Enhanced weathering is a method to mitigate climate change by increasing alkalinity in soils. Elevating ocean alkalinity levels can help counteract the effects of CO2 and replenish the ocean's buffering capacity. However, further research is needed to fully understand the downstream and oceanic impacts.

Summary: Human emissions of carbon dioxide are causing irreversible changes in oceans and impacting marine phytoplankton. This study found that picochlorophytes, a group of small green algae, can thrive and adapt to high CO2 levels, involving gene regulation and redistribution of metabolites.

Summary: This study reveals that ocean acidification and warming are major environmental stressors, and the impact of warming on the growth responses of phytoplankton to ocean acidification is not well understood. The results show that high CO2 enhances the growth of Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira weissflogii, especially at optimum temperature. Furthermore, HC-grown cells require more energy and materials to maintain intracellular homeostasis and repair damage caused by unsuitable temperatures.

Summary: Ocean warming and acidification pose a severe threat to pteropods in the Arctic by reducing their survival and causing the dissolution of their shells. Lipids, especially phospholipids, play a crucial role in the early-stage pteropods. Our experimental study shows that elevated temperatures and high CO2 concentrations lead to a significant decrease in total lipids, mainly due to the reduction of phospholipids. This reduction may compromise cell differentiation and energy balance in the early-stage larvae. The negative effects of warming on lipid metabolism may be a more immediate threat to pteropods than shell dissolution effects caused by acidification.

Summary: This study investigates the responses of Southern Ocean phytoplankton under different climate change scenarios. It finds that under ocean acidification, the numerical dominance of diatoms is reduced in both future mixing scenarios, but their productivity increases.

Summary: Measuring plankton and associated variables in ocean time-series stations has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of ocean biology and ecology. Adding biological measurements can help address scientific questions and utilize existing technology. Global coordination and data management are critical for long-term time-series station research.

Summary: The frequency, intensity, and spatial scale of climate extremes are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic global warming. Multiple climate-driven disturbances interact with each other over multi-decadal time frames, generating combined effects that cannot be predicted from single events alone. Understanding the emergent properties and collective dynamics of recurrent disturbances will be critical for predicting spatial refuges and cumulative ecological responses to anthropogenic climate change.
