Elasmobranch landings in the Portuguese commercial fishery from 1986 to 2009
Correia, João P.; Morgado, Fernando; Erzini, Karim; Soares, Amadeu M. V. M.Portuguese commercial Elasmobranch landings were analysed for the period 1986 – 2009 and revealed that some species may be in danger of overfishing. Landings totalled 122,515 mt, with an average of 5,105 mt landed yearly, with captured sharks, skates and rays representing 8 orders, 14 families and 44 species. Annual landings for the fishery generally decreased over time, with a corresponding increase in price p...
Optimising sealed transports of small ornamental fish
Silva, Rui E.; Morais, Hugo A.; Rodrigues, Nuno V.; Reis, Tiago; Correia, João P.This paper reports on simulated long-term transports of small ornamental fish inside sealed containers. The species involved were Diplodus sargus, Gobius paganellus, Gobiusculus flavescens, Lepadogaster lepadogaster, and Lipophrys pholis. The objective of such simulations was to determine the maximum bioload that it is possible to move inside a sealed container, while ensuring 100% survivorship, ultimately resu...
