Resum
Ocean acidification is considered a significant risk to aquaculture, as it may adversely affect the growth and development of aquatic organisms. The effect of ocean acidification has been shown to impair the growth and survival of fish and to increase otoliths calcification in certain species; however, its effects on bone mineralization remain not well studied. The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of seawater acidification on the skeletal mineralization of gilthead sea bream juveniles, and to assess the direct impact of distinct pH levels on bone-derived cells development. After 68 days of exposure to low pH, fish exhibited a significantly reduced specific growth rate and elevated plasma pH levels, which influenced electrolyte concentrations such as potassium. Moreover, fish exposed to low pH showed increased otoliths size but no differences in shape. In bone, a higher vertebral length/height ratio was also observed, accompanied by significantly reduced opacity and increased expression of the osteoblast and osteoclast markers, alkaline phosphatase (alp) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (mmp9), respectively, suggesting an elevated rate of bone turnover although reduced mineralization. In vitro, osteoblasts exposed to a low extracellular pH for 30 days exhibited increased viability and mineralization compared to cells maintained at a plasma pH or an alkaline pH. Additionally, the pH level significantly influenced the expression of several extracellular matrix components and osteoblast markers supporting those observations. Overall, these findings underscore the threat that ocean acidification poses to aquaculture, particularly through its impact on skeletal mineralization in gilthead sea bream, and highlight the importance of identifying approaches to farming resilient fish.
