Early life stage mechanisms of an active fish species to cope with ocean warmin...
Lima, André R.A.; Booms, Emily M.; Lopes, Ana Rita; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Novais, Sara C; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Ribeiro, Laura; Castanho, SaraOcean’s characteristics are rapidly changing, modifying environmental suitability for early life stages of fish. We assessed whether the chronic effects of warming (24 ◦C) and hypoxia (<2–2.5 mg L− 1 ) will be amplified by the combination of these stressors on mortality, growth, behaviour, metabolism and oxidative stress of early stages of the white seabream Diplodus sargus. Combined warming and hypoxia synergi...
Effects of water temperature and structural habitat complexity on the routine s...
Vicente, Patrícia; Almeida, João; Ribeiro, Laura; Castanho, Sara; Candeias-Mendes, Ana; Pousão-Ferreira, Pedro; M. Faria, AnaCoastal habitats are increasingly threatened by multiple anthropogenic-related activities, which include ocean warming and loss of structural habitat complexity. These two pressures have the potential to severely affect the structure and function of marine biodiversity. Early life stages of many fish species recruit to coastal habitats at the end of their pelagic phase, benefiting from access to food, shelter a...
Effect of dietary l-glutamine supplementation on the intestinal physiology and ...
Matias, Ana Catarina; Viegas, Ana Rita; Couto, Ana; Lourenço-Marques, Cátia; Aragão, Cláudia; Castanho, Sara; Gamboa, Margarida; Candeias-Mendes, AnaThe maturation of the intestinal digestive and absorptive functions might limit the amount of absorbed nutrients to fulfil the high requirements of the fast-growing marine fish larva. Glutamine (Gln) has been described to improve intestinal epithelium functions, due to its involvement in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate dietary 0.2% Gln supplementation on aspect...

Santana, Lígia M. B. M.; Rodrigues, Andreia C. M.; Campos, Diana; Kaczerewska, Olga; Figueiredo, Joana; Silva, Sara; Sousa, Isabel; Maia, FredericoMicroplastics and nanomaterials are applied in a myriad of commercial and industrial applications. When leaked to natural environments, such small particles might threaten living organisms' health, particularly when considering their potential combination that remains poorly investigated. This study investigated the physiological and biochemical effects of polyethylene (PE; 64-125 μm in size, 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0...
Draft genome sequence of vibrio jasicida 20LP, an opportunistic bacterium isola...
Sanches-Fernandes, Gracinda M. M.; Califano, Gianmaria; Keller-Costa, Tina; Castanho, Sara; Soares, Florbela; Ribeiro, Laura; Pousão-Ferreira, PedroWe present the genome sequence of Vibrio jasicida 20LP, a bacterial strain retrieved from larvae of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), a highly valuable, model fish species in land-based aquaculture. Annotation of the V. jasicida 20LP genome reveals multiple genomic features potentially underpinning opportunistic associations with diverse marine animals.
Effects of live feed manipulation with algal‐derived antimicrobial metabolites ...
Sanches‐Fernandes, Gracinda M. M.; Califano, Gianmaria; Castanho, Sara; Soares, Florbela; Ribeiro, Laura; Pousão‐Ferreira, Pedro; Mata, LeonardoOpportunistic microorganisms acquired through rearing water or live feed ingestion are believed to underpin high mortality rates of fish larvae, constituting a production bottleneck for the aquaculture industry. We employed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine whether treatment of live feed (rotifers and Artemia) with algal-derived, antibacterial metabolites could alter bacterial community structure of gilthea...
Draft genome sequence of Vibrio chagasii 18LP, isolated from Gilthead Seabream ...
Sanches-Fernandes, Gracinda M. M.; Califano, Gianmaria; Keller-Costa, Tina; Castanho, Sara; Soares, Florbela; Ribeiro, Laura; Pousão-Ferreira, PedroWe report the draft genome sequence of Vibrio chagasii strain 18LP, isolated from gilthead seabream larvae at a fish hatchery research station in Portugal. The genome presents numerous features underlying opportunistic behavior, including genes coding for toxin biosynthesis and tolerance, host cell invasion, and heavy metal resistance.
Does consistent individual variability in pelagic fish larval behaviour affect ...
Baptista, Vânia; Costa, Eudriano; Carere, Claudio; Morais, Pedro; Cruz, Joana; Cerveira, Inês; Castanho, Sara; Ribeiro, Laura; Pousao-Ferreira, PedroIndividual animals across all taxa differ consistently in behaviour, i.e. they show personality traits. This inter-individual variability has significant ecological and evolutionary consequences, since it affects a range of population-level processes. Here, we focus on the selection and recruitment of nursery habitats in temperate fish larvae. The "Sense Acuity and Behavioural Hypothesis" has proposed that fish...
Swimming abilities of temperate pelagic fish larvae prove that they may control...
Baptista, Vânia; Morais, Pedro; Cruz, Joana; Castanho, Sara; Ribeiro, L.; Pousão-Ferreira, P.; Leitão, Francisco Miguel de Sousa; Wolanski, E.The Sense Acuity and Behavioral (SAAB) Hypothesis proposes that the swimming capabilities and sensorial acuity of temperate fish larvae allows them to find and swim towards coastal nursery areas, which are crucial for their recruitment. To gather further evidence to support this theory, it is necessary to understand how horizontal swimming capability varies along fish larvae ontogeny. Therefore, we studied the ...
