Summary
The ClimOcean project focuses on the study of marine species heavily impacted by acidification. The aim is monitoring, non-destructively, the calcium uptake, and therefore the growth, in various corals and bivalve species. In this way, the same individual and the entire colony can be evaluated at any stage of the life-cycle. The non-destructive techniques, without impacting on the animal, represent a technological challenge from the nuclear experimental standpoint. This cross-disciplinary project is possible due to the joint efforts of biologists and nuclear physicists, combining expertise from the Valencia Oceanogràfìc (E), the Hydro-biological station of the University of Padova (I), the Instituto de Física Corpus cular (E) and the INFN-Legnaro National Laboratories (I). The status of the project and the results of the first measurements performed at the Oceanogràfic and Hydro-biological station will be presented.
