Thermal performance of early stages of Sparus aurata integrating body condition...
Almeida, João Carlos; Costa, Ana Beatriz; Ozkan, Buzenur; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Maulvault, Ana Luísa; Pousão-Ferreira, Pedro; Ribeiro, LauraTemperature has a profound impact on fish, particularly during the early life stages (ELS), when they exhibit a narrower range of thermal tolerance compared to later developmental phases. This study investigated the long-term effects of temperature on ELS that were exposed to four temperature regimes for 11 weeks: 19 °C, 22 °C, 24 °C and 28 °C. Parameters evaluated included growth, Fulton’s condition factor, be...
Early life stage mechanisms of an active fish species to cope with ocean warmin...
Lima, André R.A.; Booms, Emily M.; Lopes, Ana Rita; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Novais, Sara C; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Ribeiro, Laura; Castanho, SaraOcean’s characteristics are rapidly changing, modifying environmental suitability for early life stages of fish. We assessed whether the chronic effects of warming (24 ◦C) and hypoxia (<2–2.5 mg L− 1 ) will be amplified by the combination of these stressors on mortality, growth, behaviour, metabolism and oxidative stress of early stages of the white seabream Diplodus sargus. Combined warming and hypoxia synergi...
Integrated behavioural and physiological responses of sand smelt larvae to the ...
Lima, André R.A.; Lopes, Ana Rita; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Moutinho, Ariana B.; Lemos, Marco F.L.; Novais, Sara C; Faria, Ana M.Forecasts indicate that rising temperatures towards the future and the expansion of dead zones will change environmental suitability for fish early stages. Therefore, we assessed the chronic effects of warming (26 ◦C), hypoxia (<2–2.5 mg L− 1 ) or their combination on mortality rate, growth, behaviour, energy metabolism and oxidative stress using Atherina presbyter larvae as a model species. There were no diffe...
Differential effects of food restriction and warming in the two-spotted goby: i...
Lopes, Ana F.; Murdoch, Robyn; Martins-Cardoso, Sara; Madeira, Carolina; Costa, Pedro M.; Félix, Ana S.; Oliveira, Rui F.; Bandarra, Narcisa M.Climate change is a growing threat to marine organisms and ecosystems, and it is already modifying ocean properties by, for example, increasing temperature and decreasing pH. Increasing water temperature may also lead to an impairment of primary productivity and an overall depletion of available zooplankton. Understanding how the crossover between warming and zooplankton availability impacts fish populations ha...
