Use of isotopic and elemental fingerprints for seahorse species discrimination ...
Cabral, Ana Elisa; Calado, Ricardo; Palma, Jorge; Ricardo, Fernando; Silva, Eduardo Ferreira da; Patinha, Carla; Planas, MiquelSeahorses (Hippocampus spp.; Family Syngnathidae) are mainly targeted by Traditional Chinese Medicine, curio and ornamental trade, as dried or live specimens. Traceability tools may help fill the gaps on supply chains, securing information on geographic origin and identification of traded specimens. Fin-clipping, a non-lethal and well-established method in seahorse research, offers a potential approach to trace...
Current and expected trends for the marine chitin/chitosan and collagen value c...
Vieira, Helena; Lestre, Gonçalo Moura; Solstad, Runar Gjerp; Cabral, Ana Elisa; Botelho, Anabela; Helbig, Carlos; Coppola, DanielaChitin/chitosan and collagen are two of the most important bioactive compounds, with applications in the pharmaceutical, veterinary, nutraceutical, cosmetic, biomaterials, and other industries. When extracted from non-edible parts of fish and shellfish, by-catches, and invasive species, their use contributes to a more sustainable and circular economy. The present article reviews the scientific knowledge and pub...
Fatty acid profiles of cultured Hippocampus hippocampus trunk muscles and poten...
Cabral, Ana Elisa; Rey, Felisa; Domingues, Rosário; Cabral, Miguel; Planas, Miquel; Palma, Jorge; Calado, RicardoSyngnathids (seahorses, pipefishes and seadragons) are an attractive resource for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Despite few scientific studies supporting seahorse nutritional benefits, they are believed to possess medicinal properties that enhance human health. The European short-snout seahorse Hippocampus hippocampus is classified as Data Deficient by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Nevertheless...

Successful use of geochemical tools to trace the geographic origin of Long-Snou...
Cabral, Ana Elisa; Ricardo, Fernando; Patinha, Carla; Silva, Eduardo Ferreira da; Correia, Miguel; Palma, Jorge; Planas, Miquel; Calado, RicardoThe global market of dried seahorses mainly supplies Traditional Chinese Medicine and still relies on blurry trade chains that often cover less sustainable practices targeting these pricey and endangered fish. As such, reliable tools that allow the enforcement of traceability, namely to confirm the geographic origin of traded seahorses, are urgently needed. The present study evaluated the use of elemental finge...
