Stress responses of the sea cucumber Holothuria forskali during aquaculture han...
Tonn, Nina; Novais, Sara C.; Silva, Cátia S. E.; Morais, Hugo A.; Correia, João P. S.; Lemos, Marco F. L.Animal welfare during handling and transportation to aquaculture facilities or public aquaria is commonly estimated by addressing injury and mortality levels. Although these procedures have been optimized for different species, data on individual species’ cellular capabilities to tolerate stress are still scarce. In the present study, several biomarkers related with oxidative stress and energy metabolism were a...
Optimising sealed transports of small ornamental fish
Silva, Rui E.; Morais, Hugo A.; Rodrigues, Nuno V.; Reis, Tiago; Correia, João P.This paper reports on simulated long-term transports of small ornamental fish inside sealed containers. The species involved were Diplodus sargus, Gobius paganellus, Gobiusculus flavescens, Lepadogaster lepadogaster, and Lipophrys pholis. The objective of such simulations was to determine the maximum bioload that it is possible to move inside a sealed container, while ensuring 100% survivorship, ultimately resu...
