We studied the responses of coral Acropora hyacinthus to the increase of CO2, with a simulated experiment in which corals were cultured in natural seawater as the control group with pCO2 of 565 μatm and in high CO2 treatment with pCO2 of 1135 μatm. The effects of seawater acidification on the calcification and gene expression were investigated. The results showed that under acidification stress, the calcification rate of A. hyacinthus significantly decreased, and the gene expression was greatly affected. As the pathways of organic matter transport, anion transport, chemical stress were up-regulated, and animal organ development, lipid transport, cell biosynthesis, cell surface receptor signal and other pathways were down-regulated. Among the calcification related genes, carbonic anhydrase was down-regulated, and Ca2+-ATPase and calcium ion transport related genes were up-regulated. This experiment showed that high CO2 significantly affected the calcification and gene expression of A. hyacinthus, in which the decrease of calcification was mainly due to the down-regulation of carbonic anhydrase resulting in the decrease of $\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}$.
