High dietary protein, n − 3/n − 6 ratio and β-carotene enhances Paracentrotus l...
Gomes, Ana S.; Lourenço, Sílvia; Santos, Pedro M.; Neves, Marta; Adão, Pedro; Tecelão, Carla; Pombo, AnaThe nutritional characteristics of microalgae affect the growth, survival and fatty acid composition of sea urchin larvae. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of nutritive characteristics of single microalgal diets in Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) larval development, growth, and condition. Larvae of P. lividus were fed with three monospecific microalgal diets, Rhodomonas sp. (Rho), Dunaliella ter...
Motivation and preferences of Portuguese consumers’ towards sea urchin roe
Lourenço, Sílvia; Mendes, Susana; Raposo, Andreia; Santos, Pedro M.; Gomes, Ana S.; Ganhão, Rui; Costa, José L.; Gil, Maria M.; Pombo, AnaSea urchin roe is a gastronomic delicacy appreciated worldwide and Portugal is the third largest consumer nation of seafood. However, sea urchin roe is recognized as a seafood by few members of the national coastal communities. Motivated by an increasing interest of gastronomic and aquaculture sectors in producing this seafood, a survey was conducted among the participants of gastronomic festivals aiming to cha...
Somatic growth and gonadal development of Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816)...
Lourenço, Sílvia; Cunha, Beatriz; Raposo, Andreia; Neves, Marta; Santos, Pedro M.; Gomes, Ana S.; Tecelão, Carla; Ferreira, Susana M. F.Sea urchins’ gonads are a delicacy highly appreciated worldwide. In Europe, Paracentrotus lividus is one of the most valuable edible sea urchin species and a desired target for aquaculture. One of the challenges of echinoculture is to increase the sea urchins’ growth rate during the on-growing phase and reducing the production cycle required to obtain sea urchins of commercial size (test diameter ≈ 50 mm). The ...

In vitro efficiency of 9-(N-cinnamoylbutyl)aminoacridines against blood- and li...
Perez, Bianca; Teixeira, Catia; Gomes, Ana S.; Albuquerque, Ines S.; Gut, Jiri; Rosenthal, Philip J.; Prudencio, Miguel; Gomes, PaulaNovel 9-aminoacridine derivatives were synthesized by linking the heteroaromatic core to different cinnamic acids through an aminobutyl chain. The test compounds demonstrated mid-nanomolar in vitro activity against erythrocytic stages of the chloroquine-resistant W2 strain of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Two of the most active derivatives also showed in vitro activity against liver-stage Pl...
