Surprised, researchers launched studies to see how marine animals
in laboratory tanks and in the wild would fare with CO2 concentrations much lower than those in the original tests.

Brine shrimp moving vertically in two different
laboratory tanks created small eddies that aggregated into a jet roughly the size of the whole migrating group, researchers report online April 18 in Nature.
When the compressed material was introduced
into laboratory tanks, the spines of sea urchins and the shells of mollusks dissolved.
Now researchers wielding video cameras have caught the creature in action
in laboratory tanks, not only walking but also bounding on the skinny fins that sprout from the belly halfway between snout and tail.
JET STREAM Tens of thousands of brine shrimp swimming upward in
a laboratory tank produce a large jet of water the size of the whole group, mixing shallow water with deeper, saltier water.
In 2014, Dabiri coauthored a study that debuted
the laboratory tank setup also used in the new research.
Using a specially designed BubbleCam to document
the laboratory tank waves and their open - ocean counterparts as they broke (see image), the scientists counted the bubbles and categorized them according to size.
Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) in Israel studied corals grown in
a laboratory tank.
The cyanobacteria tested in
the laboratory tank are believed to be responsible for about half of all marine nitrogen fixation.
