Calcification rate

ID: 127

Class: Physiological

Description:

The rate at which aragonite is laid down per unit of skeletal surface area. When using this data, be aware that this trait is measured in numerous ways.

Standards:

• Calcification rate (µm cm^-2 h^-1)
• Rate (g month^-1)
• Rate (g cm ^-2 yr^-1)
• Weight gain rate (% wt. gain month-1)

Methodologies:

• 45Ca Uptake
• Alkalinity Anomaly Technique (Smith and Key 1975)
• Buoyant weight
• Linear extension alizerin staining and calipers, bulk density wax dipping and buoyant weight
• Product of linear extension and bulk density
• Weight
• X-radiography (densitometer)
