Pilot studies for stock enhancement of purple sea urchins (Paracentrotus lividu...
Correia, MJ; Mega Lopes, P; Santos, PM; Jacinto, D; Mateus, D; Maresca, F; Quintella, B; Cruz, T; Sílvia, L; Pombo, A; Costa, JLIn the framework of stock enhancement, field experiments were conducted between March and July 2021 in rocky shores of Central Portugal to test the usefulness of refuges and calcein marking for juvenile sea urchins releases. Individuals with 10–20 mm in test diameter were captured in nature and tagged through immersion in a calcein bath with a concentration of 150 mg L−1, during 48 hr. Artificial shelters were ...
