Seascape genomics reveals limited dispersal and suggest spatially varying selec...
Baltazar-Soares, Miguel; Britton, J. R.; Pinder, A.; Harrison, A.J.; Nunn, A.D.; Quintella, B.R.; Mateus, Catarina S.; Bolland, J.D.; Dodd, J.R.Sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus is an anadromous and semelparous fish without homing behaviors. Despite being a freshwater, free-living organism for a large part of their life cycle, its adulthood is spent as a parasite of marine vertebrates. In their native European range, while it is well-established that sea lampreys comprise a single nearly-panmictic population, few studies have further explored the evolutio...
Connecting population functionality with distribution model predictions to supp...
Dambrine, C.; Lambert, P.; Elliott, S.; Boavida-Portugal, J.; Mateus, Catarina S.; O'Leary, C.; Pauwels, I.; Poole, R.; Roche, W.; Van den Bergh, E.Diadromous fish species have a complex life cycle during which they migrate between marine and freshwater habitats. They experience multiple human-induced pressures in both environments, likely exacerbated by climate change, leading to dramatic population declines across their distribution ranges. Currently Species Distribution Models (SDMs) have been applied separately in both their continental and marine habi...
Not so much a sea bass: Divergent European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) f...
Almeida, Rita; Tanner, S.E.; Mateus, Catarina S.; Ribeiro, F.; Quintella, B.R.European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax [Linnaeus, 1758]) is a euryhaline marine migrant fish highly valuable for fisheries and aquaculture. Although juveniles are known to use estuaries and occasionally move to freshwater environments, these freshwater incursions had not been reported for adults. Recently, this behavior was observed in the Tagus River (Portugal) for adults occurring up to 150 km from the river...
Into the Wild: A New Approach to the Aquaculture Production of Brown Trout (Sal...
Domingues, Andreia; Alexandre, Carlos M.; Mateus, Catarina S.; Silva, Sara; Almeida, Pedro R.The brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) is one of the most iconic native species from European river ecosystems and is also one of the main species of interest for recreational fishing activities (e.g., fly fishing). This species has a significant potential to attract anglers and related investment to the main fishing grounds, which are usually located in poorly developed areas and away from main city centers. Due to...
Meso- and Micro-Habitat Preferences of European River and Brook Lamprey in a Me...
Oliveira, Inês; Quintella, Bernardo R.; Mateus, Catarina S.; Alexandre, Carlos M.; Almeida, Pedro R.The European river (Lampetra fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758) and brook (Lampetra planeri Bloch, 1784) lampreys are considered ‘paired species’, i.e., they are closely related and morphologically very similar but have distinct modes of adult life (anadromous vs. resident). In the Iberian Peninsula, the southern limit of both species’ distribution, they face different pressures (e.g., barriers, pollution, hydrologica...
Genetic Structure and Diversity of Brown Trout (Salmo trutta L.) in Portugal
Pereira, Joana; Silva, Sara; Almeida, Pedro R.; Alexandre, Carlos M.; Almeida, Rita; Domingues, Andreia; Alves, Maria J.; Mateus, Catarina S.Population genetic studies have been extensively used as tools for the management and conservation of salmonid species and related habitats. The brown trout, Salmo trutta (Linnaeus 1758), is one of the most studied species within its family, and is frequently used as a population model. It can have a highly complex and variable life history, often presenting a migratory ecotype (i.e., sea trout), and it is cons...
Acoustic Telemetry Unravels Movements and Habitat Use Patterns of Juvenile Meag...
Marques, João P.; Almeida, Pedro R.; Moreira, Pedro; Reis-Santos, Patrick; Prista, Nuno; Costa, José L.; Domingos, Isabel; Alexandre, Carlos M.The meagre is among the largest Sciaenidae in the world (max: 230 cm, 103 kg), with a wide distribution range encompassing the NE and CE Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The life cycle in Atlantic waters includes migratory movements from feeding and overwintering areas at sea to spawning and nursery areas in estuaries and coastal waters. However, significant spawning aggregations are only observed in f...
Temporal patterns of the catadromous thinlip grey mullet migration in freshwater
Pereira, Esmeralda; Quintella, Bernardo R.; Lança, Maria João; Alexandre, Carlos M.; Mateus, Catarina S.; Pedro, Sílvia; Belo, Ana Filipa; Rato, AnaThe thinlip grey mullet (Chelon ramada Risso, 1827) is a catadromous fish that performs massive migrations to freshwater habitats for feeding purposes that can assume a structuring role on riverine ecology due to the biomass involved in these movements. Seasonal movements of thinlip grey mullet through a vertical slot fish pass located in River Mondego (Portugal) were continuously monitored between 2013 and 201...
Synergizing basic and applied scientific approaches to help understand lamprey ...
Hume, John; Bracken, Fiona; Mateus, Catarina S.; Brant, CoryLampreys (Petromyzontiformes) are a key component of freshwater ecosystems throughout temperate parts of the world. Of the 44 described species of lamprey, the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is certainly the most commonly recognized. This species has expanded its range from the Atlantic Ocean basin where it is of conservation concern in North America and Europe into the Laurentian Great Lakes where it is subj...
Evidence of Genetic Segregation among Meagre (Argyrosomus regius) Atlantic Spaw...
Almeida, Rita; Mateus, Catarina S.; Alves, Maria Judite; Marques, João P.; Pereira, Joana; Prista, Nuno; Cabral, Henrique; Almeida, Pedro R.The meagre Argyrosomus regius, one of the largest sciaenidae in the world, is a valuable resource for fisheries and aquaculture. Despite its socioeconomic relevance, knowledge about population dynamics and wild stocks is still scarce, and conservation risks are associated with overexploitation. Two genetic distinct groups, one in the North Atlantic Ocean and one in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, were identified...
