Cytotoxic and hemolytic activities of extracts of the fish parasite dinoflagell...
Moreira, Márcio; Soliño, Lucia; Marques, Cátia L.; Laizé, Vincent; Pousão-Ferreira, Pedro; Fidalgo E Costa, Pedro; Soares, FlorbelaThe dinoflagellate Amyloodinium ocellatum is the etiological agent of a parasitic disease named amyloodiniosis. Mortalities of diseased fish are usually attributed to anoxia, osmoregulatory impairment, or opportunistic bacterial infections. Nevertheless, the phylogenetic proximity of A. ocellatum to a group of toxin-producing dinoflagellates from Pfiesteria, Parvodinium and Paulsenella genera suggests that it m...
Insight into aquaculture's potential of marine annelid worms and ecological con...
Pombo, Ana; Baptista, Teresa; Granada, Luana; Ferreira, Susana; Gonçalves, Sílvia C.; Anjos, Catarina; Sá, Erica; Chainho, PaulaPolychaetes are marine annelid worms that can contribute to aquaculture diversification. Its culture has been viable, and commercially attempted, but intensive production has progressed only in few countries around the world. In the countries with no production, marine polychaetes are imported or harvested. A strong and sustained research investment provided to a better understanding of the nutritional requirem...
Trade of live bait in Portugal and risks of introduction of non-indigenous spec...
Sá, Erica; Fidalgo E Costa, Pedro; Cancela Da Fonseca, Luís; Alves, Ana; Castro, Nuno; Cabral, Sara; Chainho, Paula; Canning Clode, João; Melo, PedroDifferent invertebrate groups are often exploited on sediment shores and mudflats, including polychaetes, sipunculids, bivalves and crustaceans. The commercial importance of polychaetes and sipunculids, that has increased in the early 2000's because of its use as a food source for the aquaculture sector and a growing demand of worms for use as sea angling bait, seems to be declining nowadays. In Portugal bait h...
Effect of three diets on the growth and fatty acid profile of the common ragwor...
Santos, António; Granada, Luana; Baptista, Teresa; Anjos, Catarina; Simões, Tiago; Tecelão, Carla; Fidalgo E Costa, Pedro; Costa, José Lino; Pombo, AnaThe polychaete Hediste diversicolor has a high physiological tolerance to extreme environmental factors, being easily farmed and reproduced in different types of conditions. Both in the field and under laboratory conditions, this worm can feed on different types of food. In order to highlight the potential of H. diversicolor for aquaculture, specific growth rate (SGR), daily growth rate (DGR), survival rate and...
Anelídeos poliquetas como isco vivo: caracterização da atividade de apanha em a...
Fidalgo E Costa, Pedro; Sá, Erica; Alves, Ana Sofia; Cabral, Sara; Castro, Nuno; Picard, David; Castro, João J.; Cancela Da Fonseca, LuísA captura de isco vivo para a pesca, efetuada em sedimentos intertidais, tem aumentado em todo o Mundo, pois face ao incremento da procura, constitui uma importante fonte de rendimento para as populações que vivem junto à costa. Macroinvertebrados, tais como, moluscos, crustáceos e anelídeos poliquetas, entre outros, são capturados em muitos sistemas estuarinos portugueses, sendo a dimensão real das capturas su...
