First report of Calceostoma glandulosum (Monogenea) in Argyromus regius: morpho...
Ribeiro, Maria Carolina; Lourenço-Marques, Cátia; Pousão-Ferreira, Pedro; Soares, FlorbelaThe increase in fish production in aquaculture reflects the growth of the world population. However, this expansion is accompa nied by challenges, such as the intensification of production systems through increased stocking density, which induces stress in fish, weakening their immune system and making them more susceptible to disease outbreaks, particularly those caused by parasites. Monogeneans are ectoparasi...
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...
Eco-innovative aquafeeds biofortified with asparagopsis taxiformis to improve t...
Marmelo, Isa; Lourenço-Marques, Cátia; Silva, Iris A.L.; Soares, Florbela; Pousão-Ferreira, Pedro; Mata, Leonardo; Marques, António; Diniz, Mário SousaExtreme weather events, like marine heatwaves (MHWs), are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change, posing several challenges to marine ecosystems and their services. As disease outbreaks are often prompted by these acute phenomena, it is essential to develop ecoinnovative strategies that can efficiently improve farmed fish resilience, especially under suboptimal rearing conditions, thereby ensur...
Exploring Omega-3′s impact on the expression of Bone-Related Genes in Meagre (A...
Luján-Amoraga, Leticia; Delgado-Martín, Belén; Lourenço-Marques, Cátia; J. Gavaia, Paulo; Bravo, Jimena; Bandarra, Narcisa M.; Dominguez, DavidDietary supplementation with Omega-3 fatty acids seems to promote skeletal health. Therefore, their consumption at imbalanced or excessive levels has offered less beneficial or even prejudicial effects. Fish produced in aquaculture regimes are prone to develop abnormal skeletons. Although larval cultures are usually fed with diets supplemented with Omega-3 Long Chain Polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), the ...
