Optical Observations and Geochemical Data in Deep-Sea Hexa- and Octo-Coralla Specimens

Abstract: Coral skeletons are built by Ca-carbonate (calcite or aragonite) crystals that exhibit distinct morphological patterns and specific spatial arrangements that constitute skeletal microstructures. Additionally, the long-standing recognition that distinct coral species growing in similar conditions are able to record environmental changes with species-specific responses provides convincing evidence that, beyond the thermodynamic rules for chemical precipitation, a biological influence is at work during the crysta… Show more

“…To date there are only a few studies that systematically evaluate the impact of seawater salinity or temperature on Na incorporation into cold-water Scleractinia. For example, the study by Rollion-Bard and Blamart (2015) suggests that changes in growth rate due to varying seawater temperature might control the incorporation of Na (Li and Mg) and the studies of Rollion-Bard et al (2017) and Schleinkofer et al (2019) imply that a temperature control on Na/Ca ratios might also exist in aragonitic marine species.…”

“…50% (>2300 ind., Figure 5) of the overall benthic community, with the bamboo coral P. delicatula and S. narconensis as main contributors (858 and 828 ind., respectively). Octocorals such as the Primnoisis contribute to the carbonate sediment by shedding calcified internodes post-mortem, which is made up of high-Mg calcite [97] together with the serpulids, as mentioned above.…”
