Increasing biological knowledge for better management of by-catch species: Age,...
Sequeira, Vera; Sousa, Inês; Neves, Ana; Vieira, Ana Rita; Silva, Elisabete; Silva, Frederica; Duarte, Ana Marta; Mendes, Susana; Ganhão, RuiGurnards are a valuable by-catch of mixed demersal fisheries and are commercially important in European waters, but they are often discarded, reported under “mixed gurnards” and with incomplete biological information by species. In the present work, a total of 558 piper gurnard specimens of between 10.9 and 44.4 cm (1 to 11 years) and 425 red gurnard specimens of between 10.2 and 42.1 cm (0 to 9 years) from the...

Reproduction of the Blue Jack Mackerel, Trachurus picturatus, in Western Portug...
Neves, Ana; Sequeira, Vera; Vieira, Ana Rita; Silva, Elisabete; Silva, Frederica; Duarte, Ana Marta; Mendes, Susana; Ganhão, Rui; Assis, CarlosBlue jack mackerel, Trachurus picturatus, is the fifth most landed fish species in mainland Portugal, but information on its reproductive biology is scarce. From September 2018 to August 2019, 626 specimens were collected from commercial vessels to clarify the reproductive strategy of the T. picturatus population off the west coast of Portugal. The proportion and length range of males and females were similar. ...
Modelling fish growth with imperfect data: The case of Trachurus picturatus
Neves, Ana; Vieira, Ana Rita; Sequeira, Vera; Silva, Elisabete; Silva, Frederica; Duarte, Ana Marta; Mendes, Susana; Ganhão, Rui; Assis, CarlosGrowth modelling is essential to inform fisheries management but is often hampered by sampling biases and imperfect data. Additional methods such as interpolating data through backcalculation may be used to account for sampling bias but are often complex and time-consuming. Here, we present an approach to improve plausibility in growth estimates when small individuals are under-sampled, based on Bayesian fittin...

Enhancing knowledge on low-value fishing species: the distinct reproductive str...
Neves, Ana; Sousa, Inês; Sequeira, Vera; Vieira, Ana Rita; Silva, Elisabete; Silva, Frederica; Duarte, Ana Marta; Mendes, Susana; Ganhão, RuiThe depletion and overexploitation of several fish stock demands for a valorisation of non-target and discarded species. Nonetheless, such species are often poorly studied, and information on their biological parameters must be gathered for effective population management. For 1 year, the reproductive strategy of the piper gurnard Trigla lyra and the red gurnard Chelidonichthys cuculus was studied by monthly sa...
