Cold-water coral traps itself on mountains in the deep sea

Description

Corals searching for food in the cold and dark waters of the deep sea are building higher and higher mountains to get closer to the source of their food. But in doing so, they may find themselves trapped when the climate changes. That is shown in the thesis that theoretical ecologist Anna van der Kaaden of NIOZ in Yerseke and the Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development in Utrecht will defend on Feb. 20 at the University of Groningen. “When the water gets warmer, these creatures prefer to be deeper, but a coral doesn’t just walk down the mountain,” Van der Kaaden said.

    DescriptionCold-water corals are found in the depths of the world’s oceans, hundreds of meters below the surface. These corals are far removed from the sunlit environments that nurture vibrant tropical reefs.

    A new study from the University of Groningen reveals the extraordinary lengths to which cold-water corals go to survive and flourish, even as they face the looming threat of climate change.

    DescriptionKoralen komen veelvuldig voor in het koude en donkere water van de diepzee. Daar zijn ze op zoek naar eten, waarbij ze steeds hogere bergen bouwen om dichter bij voedselbronnen te komen. Maar daarbij kunnen ze zichzelf wel klemzetten wanneer het klimaat verandert, want ze kunnen moeilijk terug.

    Dat laat theoretisch ecoloog Anna van der Kaaden van het NIOZ in Yerseke en het Copernicus Instituut voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling in Utrecht zien in het proefschrift dat zij op 20 februari verdedigt aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. “Als het water warmer wordt, willen deze diertjes liever dieper zitten, maar koraal wandelt niet zomaar even de berg af”, aldus Van der Kaaden.

    DescriptionLes coraux à la recherche de nourriture dans les eaux froides et sombres des profondeurs marines construisent des montagnes de plus en plus hautes pour se rapprocher de la source de leur nourriture. Mais ce faisant, ils pourraient se retrouver piégés lorsque le climat changera. C'est ce que montre la thèse que l'écologiste théoricienne Anna van der Kaaden du NIOZ à Yerseke et de l'Institut Copernic pour le développement durable à Utrecht défendra le 20 février à l'Université de Groningue. “Lorsque l'eau se réchauffe, ces créatures préfèrent être plus profondes, mais un corail ne se contente pas de descendre la montagne”, a déclaré Van der Kaaden.
