Biological traits and population dynamics for sustainable harvesting of Carcinu...
Monteiro, João Nuno; Ovelheiro, Andreia; Maia, Francisco; Teodosio, Maria; Leitão, FranciscoResearch focusing on the biological patterns and population dynamics of Carcinus maenas has not been conducted for the purpose of fishery management along the European coastal systems. This has led to the implementation of fisheries management policies without scientific considerations, adversely affecting fishery profitability. To addrees this gap, we studied the crab species' population dynamics, reproductive...
Growth, reproduction, and size at first maturity of the peppery furrow shell Sc...
Maia, Francisco; Gaspar, Miguel; Barroso, Carlos M.The peppery furrow shell Scrobicularia plana is a commercial valuable bivalve in the east Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. To ensure the sustainability of this resource and implement efficient management strategies, it is essential to understand the life history traits of the species, such as growth, reproduction, and size at first maturity. These features were investigated in the southern range of the species' ...
Macro and microscopic maturation stage key of green crab (Carcinus maenas, Linn...
Ovelheiro, Andreia; N. Monteiro, J.; Gonçalves, Patrícia; Campinho, Marco António; Maia, Francisco; Teodosio, Maria; Leitão, FranciscoGonadal histology is a helpful tool to validate species' macroscopic maturity stages in fisheries biology. Regardless of the many studies on Carcinus maenas, there are still few concerning gonads tissue histology and description of maturity stages. In Portugal, information regarding this species' biology to help support the regulation of crab fisheries, including the minimum landing size, has not yet been defin...
Assessment of habitat suitability for common cockles in the Ria the Aveiro Lago...
Matos, Fábio L.; Vaz, Nuno; Picado, Ana; Dias, João M.; Maia, Francisco; Gaspar, Miguel B.; Magalhães, LuísaThe common cockle Cerastoderma edule is a widespread bivalve species inhabiting estuarine systems across the North East Atlantic, where it provides several ecosystem services, and represents a valuable fishery resource for local economies. However, anthropogenic pressure and more frequent extreme weather events threaten the resilience of the species. Spatially explicit information on species distribution is cri...

ABUNDANCE, DISTRIBUTION AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF THE COMMON COCKLE Cerastode...
Maia, Francisco; Ruano, Francisco; Gaspar, MiguelThe common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) is currently the most important shellfish resource exploited in Ria de Aveiro. In recent years, surveys have been conducted by the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere to provide data on stock status for management purposes. The present work presents the results of the 2019 cockle survey, as well as the stock trends over the years. Results revealed that Cerastode...
