Combined effects of temperature and dietary lipid level on body composition, gr...
Cardoso, Patrícia G.; Gonçalves, Odete; Cavalheri, Thais; Amorim, Vânia E.; Cao, Weiwei; Alexandrino, Diogo A. M.; Jia, Zhongjun; Carvalho, Maria F.The effects of increasing temperature and dietary lipid level on the body composition, growth performance, and freshness profile of the European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were evaluated through a fish trial lasting 56 days. Findings demonstrated that fish reared at 24 °C presented a lower lipid level and a higher daily growth index than those reared at 20 °C. On the other hand, the sea bass condition index...
Latitudinal Patterns in European Seagrass Carbon Reserves: Influence of Seasona...
Soissons, Laura M.; Haanstra, Eeke P; van Katwijk, Marieke M.; Asmus, Ragnhild; Auby, Isabelle; Barillé, Laurent; Brun, Fernando G.Seagrass meadows form highly productive and valuable ecosystems in the marine environment. Throughout the year, seagrass meadows are exposed to abiotic and biotic variations linked to (i) seasonal fluctuations, (ii) short-term stress events such as, e.g., local nutrient enrichment, and (iii) small-scale disturbances such as, e.g., biomass removal by grazing. We hypothesized that short-term stress events and sma...
Sex differences in oxidative stress responses of tropical topshells (Trochus hi...
F. Grilo, Tiago; Lopes, Ana Rita; Sampaio, Eduardo; Rosa, Rui; Cardoso, Patrícia G.Given scarcity of knowledge on gender ecophysiological responses of tropical marine organisms to global climate change, the major aim of this research was to investigate potential sex differences in oxidative status of topshell Trochus histrio, after a combined exposure to increased temperature and pCO2. Lipid peroxidation, heat-shock response and antioxidant enzymatic activities were evaluated. Lipid peroxidat...
Sandy beach macrofaunal communities on the western coast of Portugal – Is there...
Gonçalves, Sílvia C.; Anastácio, Pedro M.; Pardal, Miguel A.; Cardoso, Patrícia G.; Ferreira, Susana M.; Marques, João C.The structure of macrofaunal communities at two similar exposed sandy beaches on the western coast of Portugal was monitored for approximately 18 months by sampling all the beach area, from the shoreline to the base of the dunes. The beaches’ physical environment, as well as community density and composition, seasonal variations and the potential relationships between biological data and environmental parameter...
