Non-lethal heat shock induces cross-tolerance to different stressors in two str...
Granada, Luana; Morão, Inês F.C.; Lemos, Marco F. L.; Bossier, Peter; Novais, Sara C.The rotifer Brachionus sp. is of great importance for aquaculture, as the reproduction cycle under rearing conditions of many economically important species larvae depends on the use of rotifers as first live feed. Establishing a protocol that results in an improved tolerance of rotifers to environmental stressors will allow for a more stable rotifer production. The exposure to non-lethal heat shocks (NLHS) alr...
Differences in mechanisms of stress tolerance induction between strains of mono...
Granada, LuanaAquaculture production is an important food source for human consumption worldwide, benefiting from methodologies that enable the development of advantageous phenotypic traits and, consequently, the reduction of biological and economic losses. Organisms exposed to environmental stimuli at early life stages can undergo molecular responses associated to increased tolerance to abiotic and biotic stressors. Rotifer...
Swimming behaviour as an alternative endpoint to assess differences in abiotic ...
Granada, Luana; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Bossier, Peter; Novais, Sara C.Brachionus plicatilis is a cosmopolitan rotifer used as a model organism in several research areas and as live food in aquaculture. Being a species complex, responses to stressors vary even among strains of the same species and, thus, the responses of one species are not representative of the whole complex. This study aimed to address the effects of extreme salinity ranges, and different concentrations of hydro...
Genetic identification and comparative study on life history parameters of two ...
Granada, Luana; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Bossier, Peter; Novais, Sara C.The rotifer Brachionus plicatilis is an important species for aquaculture, due to its use as food for bivalves, and fish and crustaceans larvae in hatcheries. However, being a species complex, it has become increasingly important to catalogue and describe the species and biotypes that constitute this complex. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to genetically identify two morphologically identical strains ...
Insight into aquaculture’s potential of marine annelid worms and ecological con...
Pombo, Ana; Baptista, Teresa; Granada, Luana; Ferreira, Susana M. F.; 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...
Modelling integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: Optimizing a three trophic leve...
Granada, Luana; Lopes, Sofia; Novais, Sara C.; Lemos, Marco F. L.As a fast-growing food production industry, aquaculture is dealing with the need for intensification due to the global increasing demand for fish products. However, this also implies the use of more sustainable practices to reduce negative environmental impacts currently associated with this industry, including the use of wild resources, destruction of natural ecosystems, eutrophication of effluent receiving bo...

Epigenetics in aquaculture - the last frontier
Granada, Luana; Lemos, Marco; Cabral, Henrique; Bossier, Peter; Novais, SaraAquaculture production is expanding rapidly around the world. To tackle rising production and species diversity issues, innovations in the field of aquaculture feeds, breeding, disease management and other improvements must be addressed. In this framework, the study of epigenetic mechanisms behind different aquaculture rearing processes presents great opportunities. The transcriptional impact of epigenetic modi...
