Staying hooked: effective science engagement and communication in recreational ...
Pita, Pablo; Tracey, Sean; Arlinghaus, Robert; Bachiller, Eneko; Pinho-Duarte, Filipa; Ferter, Keno; Henriques, Filipe; Hook, Samantha; Hyder, KieranThis abstract summarizes the results of two expert consultations conducted to gather insights into effective communication and engagement strategies in recreational fisheries. Effective science communication fosters knowledge, understanding, and trust in both science and management decisions. Public involvement and stakeholder engagement are essential for effective management. Simplifying complex research findi...
A pioneering longterm experiment on mesophotic macrofouling communities in the ...
Canning-Clode, João; Gizzi, Francesca; Braga-Henriques, Andreia; Ramalhosa, Patrício; Abreu, Pedro; Álvarez, Soledad; Biscoito, ManuelThe mesophotic zone represents one of our planet's largest and least explored biomes. An increasing number of studies evidence the importance of macrofouling species in marine ecosystems, but information on these communities and the factors influencing their structures at mesophotic depths remain poor. This lack of understanding limits our ability to predict anthropogenic impacts or conduct restoration operatio...
A fauna malacológica do vicus maritimus do Cerro da Vila (Vilamoura, Loulé )
Pratas, Ana; Henriques, FilipeO estudo da coleção malacológica do vicus maritimus Cerro da Vila, aferiu que, entre o séc. I e meados do II d.C., a atividade económica dos complexos industriais centrou-se essencialmente no processamento de ostrasredondas e amêijoas-boas. O modelo produtivo alterou-se substancialmente a partir do reinado de Antoninus Pius, registando-se a remodelação do tecido industrial e fabrico de um novo alimento marinho ...
A new signal of tropicalization in the Northeast Atlantic: the spread of the sp...
Castro, Nuno; Schäfer, Susanne; Parretti, Paola; Monteiro, João Gama; Gizzi, Francesca; Chebaane, Sahar; Almada, Emanuel; Henriques, FilipeCurrent trends in the global climate facilitate the displacement of numerous marine species from their native distribution ranges to higher latitudes when facing warming conditions. In this work, we analyzed occurrences of a circumtropical reef fish, the spotfin burrfish, Chilomycterus reticulatus (Linnaeus, 1958), in the Madeira Archipelago (NE Atlantic) between 1898 and 2021. In addition to available data sou...
First assessment of the Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global marine recre...
Pita, Pablo; Ainsworth, Gillian B.; Alba, Bernardino; Anderson, Antônio B.; Antelo, Manel; Alós, Josep; Artetxe, Iñaki; Baudrier, JérômeIn late 2019, an outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus started in China (Graham and Baric, 2020; Hu et al., 2020; Maxmen, 2021). A global pandemic was declared in March 2020, as COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus (World Health Organization, 2020b), escalated outside China (World Health Organization, 2020a). In mid-2021, when vaccination campaigns began to show positive effects on the control of th...
Lobophora (Dictyotales) species richness, ecology and biogeography across the N...
Vieira, Christophe; Henriques, Filipe; D'hondt, Sofie; Neto, Ana I.; Almada, Carmen H.; Kaufmann, Manfred; Sansón, Marta; Sangil, CarlosThe brown alga Lobophora (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) is an important macroalga in the North-eastern Atlantic archipelagos (i.e., Macaronesia). Notably in the Canaries it can dominate benthic assemblages. While the genus has been the subject of several ecological studies in the Canaries, no study has yet been conducted to assess species-level diversity of Lobophora in Macaronesia. We reassessed the diversity of ...

Novel polymorphic microsatellite loci for a new target species, the sea cucumbe...
Henriques, Filipe; Serrao, Ester; González-Wangüemert, MercedesWith traditional finfish fisheries declining and pushing transition to new invertebrates target species, sea cucumbers have been heavily explored, suffering global overexploitation and worldwide depletion of their stocks. Nowadays, holothurians from the Mediterranean Sea and NE Atlantic Ocean are being exported to Asian markets. The scarce knowledge about their biology, population dynamics, ecology and genetics...
Setting preliminary biometric baselines for new target sea cucumbers species of...
González-Wangüemert, Mercedes; Valente, Sara; Henriques, Filipe; Domínguez-Godino, Jorge A.; Serrao, EsterCommercial interest on sea cucumber species from the NE Atlantic and the Mediterranean is increasing.Holothuria polii, Holothuria tubulosa, Holothuria mammata and Holothuria arguinensis are the new targetspecies. The scarce biological and ecological knowledge on these species along their geographical distri-bution, is a major problem for their fisheries management. To address it, we carried out a morphometricst...
Ichthyofauna of the Selvagens Islands. Do small coastal areas show high species...
Almada, Frederico; Abecasis, David; Villegas-Ríos, David; Henriques, Sofia; Pais, Miguel Pessanha; Batista, Marisa Isabel; Costa, Bárbara Horta eThe Selvagens Islands are located in the northeastern Atlantic between the Canary Islands and Madeira Island. As a result of their small size, remote location and harsh sea conditions only a few studies have been conducted to describe their marine species diversity. We were able to identify 29 new coastal fish species, an increase of 33% in the ichthyofauna described for these islands (n = 88). There is a preva...
