Short summary
This experimental system simulates future CO2 conditions in the ocean. It mimics natural processes by allowing the CO2 to move gently and across the surface of the water though gas exchange, making it well suited for delicate plankton. Researchers can use many small vessels, which allows tracking of the eggs from individual females, for instance. Multiple types of organisms can be grown at once, which facilitates feeding studies and other similar studies of species interactions.
