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...
Histological evaluation of purple sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) gonads: in...
Araújo, João; Gamboa, Margarida; Choulis, Ioannis; Mendes, Ana Candeias; Cabrita, Elsa; Pousão-Ferreira, Pedro; Soares, FlorbelaUnderstanding and controlling reproductive cycles and gonad maturation in cultivated species are crucial in aquaculture. The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, known for its edible gonads, requires careful maturation control for both reproduction and commercialization. This study explores the impact of temperature, photoperiod, and diet on gonad development to enhance year-round aquaculture practices. Using two ...
Effect of solid-state fermentation of brewer's spent grain on digestibility and...
Estevão-Rodrigues, Tássia; Fernandes, Helena; Moutinho, Sara; Filipe, Diogo; Fontinha, Filipa; Magalhães, Rui; Couto, AnaThis study assessed the effects of dietary inclusion of solid-state fermented (SSF) brewers spent grain (BSG) with Aspergillus ibericus on nutrient and energy digestibility, digestive enzyme activity, and intestinal histomorphology of juvenile European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Five diets (18% crude lipids and 45% crude protein) were formulated, including a control diet (without BSG), two diets with 10% a...
Reduction of skeletal anomalies in meagre (Argyrosomus regius, Asso, 1801) thro...
Martins, Gil; Ribeiro, Laura; Candeias-Mendes, Ana; Diogo, Patricia; Gamboa, Margarida; Barata, Marisa; Leonor Cancela, M.; Pousao-Ferreira, PedroThe consolidation of meagre (Argyrosomus regius) in aquaculture requires an understanding and optimization of larval rearing and nutritional conditions. The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of an early introduction of inert diets during larval rearing, on growth performance, digestive enzymes activity and development of skeletal anomalies. This study evaluated the effects of three different timings ...
