Evaluation of DNA levels recovered from forensic bone samples through the optim...
Caldeira, M.J.; Bento, A.M.; Gouveia, N.; Brito, P.; Porto, M.J.DNA was extracted from eleven bone samples using PrepFiler Express BTA™ Forensic DNA Extraction kit with AutoMate Express™ Forensic DNA Extraction System with 20 and 50 μL of elution volume. The objective was to compare extraction efficiency with different elution volumes, evaluating DNA recovery, profile quality and observing if sample concentration alters the degradation index (DI) and the presence of inhibit...
Portuguese fisheries in seamounts of Madeira-Tore (NE Atlantic)
Campos, Aida; Lopes, Paulo; Fonseca, Paulo; Figueiredo, I.; Henriques, Victor; Gouveia, N.; Delgado, J.; Gouveia, L.; Amorim, A.; Araujo, G.; Drago, T.The activity of the Portuguese fishing fleet operating near seamounts of the Madeira Tore geologic complex was analyzed. The main objective is to identify the different fisheries taking place in the area, characterize the spatial patterns of vessels activity and estimate the fishing intensity, thus contributing to better inform management decisions. Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and e-logbook data for the peri...
Hg and metallothionein-like proteins in the black scabbardfish Aphanopus carbo
Bebianno, Maria João; Santos, Carolina; Canário, J.; Gouveia, N.; Sena-Carvalho, D.; Vale, C.Aphanopus carbo fishery is economically relevant in Portugal (Madeira Archipelago) since the 19th century and an important diet component of its inhabitants. However, Hg levels in this species are a cause of concern due to the insufficient knowledge of Hg subcellular distribution, accumulation and detoxification mechanisms. Hg concentrations (total and subcellular) and metallothionein-like proteins (MTs) were m...
