Performance, nutrient digestibility and physiological resilience of juvenile gi...
Mendes, Rodrigo; Teodósio, Rita; Dias, Jorge; Fachadas Gato Coelho Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Galileu Speranza, Lais; Magalhães, Sara; Aires, TiagoAquafeeds formulated with organic or circular economy-derived ingredients aim to enhance sustainability and consumer acceptance. This study evaluated the global warming potential (GWP) and digestibility of such feeds, and assessed their effects on performance, feed utilisation and physiological resilience, defined as the ability to maintain tissue function and integrity under different feeding conditions of juv...
Amino acid metabolism in gilthead seabream is affected by the dietary protein t...
Teodósio, Rita; Aragão, Cláudia; Conceicao, Luis; Dias, Jorge; Engrola, SofiaThe dietary protein to energy ratio (P/E) has proven to influence protein utilization and/or growth in several fish species. This study intended to unravel the bioavailability and metabolic fate of lysine and methionine in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles fed plant diets with different P/E ratios. Seabream juveniles were fed two isonitrogenous diets (45% crude protein) differing in crude lipids (20 a...
Phaeodactylum tricornutum biomass in microdiets enhances Senegalese sole (Solea...
Barreto, André; Pinto, Wilson; Rodrigues, Andreia; Rocha, Rui J. M.; Unamunzaga, Carlos; Silva, Tome; Dias, Jorge; Conceicao, LuisMicroalgae are one of the most promising groups of functional ingredients for inclusion in microdiets for Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) larvae, supplying components with anti-oxidant effects that may be important during an accelerated stage of development where excessive reactive oxygen substance production leading to oxidative stress may occur. The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum complies with such pot...
Microalgal biomasses have potential as ingredients in microdiets for Senegalese...
Peixoto, Diogo; Pinto, Wilson; Gonçalves, Ana Teresa; Machado, Marina; Reis, Bruno; Silva, Joana; Navalho, Joao; Dias, Jorge; Conceicao, LuisSenegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) production presents several nutritional challenges, making this species a good candidate to study the dietary potential of bioactive compounds. Since proper nutrition plays a fundamental role in fish biology, it is necessary to further investigate species-specific and well-balanced diets in order to improve Senegalese sole juvenile farming. Algae have antioxidant properties,...
Predicting satisfaction: perceived decision quality by decision-makers in Web-b...
Carneiro, João; Saraiva, Pedro; Conceicao, Luis; Santos, Ricardo; Marreiros, Goreti; Novais, PauloIn future, the organizations' likelihood to endure and succeed will depend greatly on the quality of every decision made. It is known that most decisions in organizations are made in group. With the purpose of supporting decision-makers anytime and anywhere, Web-based Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS) have been studied. The amount of Web-based GDSS incorporating automatic negotiation mechanisms such as argu...
Coping styles in farmed fish: consequences for aquaculture
Castanheira, Maria Filipa; Conceicao, Luis; Millot, Sandie; Rey, Sonia; Begout, Marie-Laure; Damsgard, Borge; Kristiansen, Tore; Hoglund, ErikIndividual differences in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors are increasingly recognised as adaptive variation and thus raw material for evolution and fish farming improvements including selective breeding. Such individual variation has been evolutionarily conserved and is present in all vertebrate taxa including fish. In farmed animals, the interest in consistent trait associations, that is c...
Nutritional mitigation of winter thermal stress in gilthead seabream: associate...
Richard, Nadège; Silva, Tome S.; Wulff, Tune; Schrama, Denise; Dias, Jorge P.; Rodrigues, Pedro; Conceicao, LuisA trial was carried out with gilthead seabream juveniles, aiming to investigate the ability of an enhanced dietary formulation (diet Winter Feed, WF, containing a higher proportion of marine-derived protein sources and supplemented in phospholipids, vitamin C, vitamin E and taurine) to assist fish in coping with winter thermal stress, compared to a low-cost commercial diet (diet CTRL). In order to identify the ...
The supplementation of a microdiet with crystalline indispensable amino-acids a...
Canada, Paula; Engrola, S.; Mira, Sara; Teodósio, Rita; Fernandes, Jorge M. O.; Sousa, Vera; Barriga-Negra, Lúcia; Conceicao, Luis; Valente, Luisa M. P.The full expression of growth potential in fish larvae largely depends on an efficient protein utilization, which requires that all the indispensable amino acids (IAAs) are provided at an optimum ratio. The effect of supplementing a practical microdiet with encapsulated crystalline-AA to correct possible IAA deficiencies was evaluated in Senegalese sole larvae. Two isonitrogenous and isoenergetic microdiets wer...
Can Senegalese sole post-larvae effectively grow on low dietary DHA and lipid l...
Pinto, Wilson; Engrola, S.; Santos, André; Bandarra, Narcisa M.; Dias, Jorge; Conceicao, LuisSenegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is a highly-valuable flatfish species with interest for diversification of aquaculture in Mediterranean countries. Unlike other fish species known to have a high dietary DHA requirement during the larval stage, several studies have suggested dietary DHA could play a minor role for Senegalese sole during the early developmental stages. This suggestion was recently supported b...
Teleost fish larvae adapt to dietary arachidonic acid supply through modulation...
Alves Martins, Dulce; Rocha, Filipa; Martinez-Rodriguez, Gonzalo; Bell, Gordon; Morais, Sofia; Castanheira, Maria Filipa; Bandarra, NarcisaDietary fatty acid supply can affect stress response in fish during early development. Although knowledge on the mechanisms involved in fatty acid regulation of stress tolerance is scarce, it has often been hypothesised that eicosanoid profiles can influence cortisol production. Genomic cortisol actions are mediated by cytosolic receptors which may respond to cellular fatty acid signalling. An experiment was de...
