Occurrence of microplastics in water, feed, and tissues of European seabass pro...
Matias, R. S.; Gomes, S.; Barboza, L. G. A.; Guilhermino, L.; Valente, M. P.Background: Microplastics (MPs) in seafood are a global major concern to human health [1]. Due to MPs’ ubiquitous presence in aquatic ecosystems, aquacultures are also susceptible to contamination from external or endogenous sources. Previous studies have reported MP occurrence in farmed organisms [2], but little is known about recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), which provide an opportunity for sustainabl...
Show your beaks and we tell you what you eat: Different ecology in sympatric An...
Matias, R. S.; Gregory, S.; Ceia, F. R.; Baeta, A.; Seco, J.; Rocha, M. S.; Fernandes, Emanuel Mouta; Reis, R. L.Sympatry can lead to higher competition under climate change and other environmental pressures, including in South Georgia, Antarctica, where the two most common octopod species, Adelieledone polymorpha and Pareledone turqueti, occur side by side. Since cephalopods are typically elusive animals, the ecology of both species is poorly known. As beaks of cephalopods are recurrently found in top predator's stomachs...
