Algae as Food in Europe : An Overview of Species Diversity and Their Application
Mendes, Madalena C.; Navalho, Sofia; Ferreira, Alice; Paulino, Cristina; Figueiredo, Daniel; Silva, Daniel; Gao, Fengzheng; Gama, FlorindaAlgae have been consumed for millennia in several parts of the world as food, food supplements, and additives, due to their unique organoleptic properties and nutritional and health benefits. Algae are sustainable sources of proteins, minerals, and fiber, with well-balanced essential amino acids, pigments, and fatty acids, among other relevant metabolites for human nutrition. This review covers the historical c...

Marine algal flora of São Miguel Island, Azores
Neto, Ana I.; Moreu, Ignacio; Rosas-Alquicira, Edgar; León-Cisneros, Karla; Cacabelos, Eva; Botelho, Andrea Z.; Micael, Joana; Costa, Ana C.BACKGROUND The macroalgal flora of the Island of São Miguel (eastern group of the Azores Archipelago) has attracted the interest of many researchers in the past, the first publications going back to the nineteenth century. Initial studies were mainly taxonomic, resulting in the publication of a checklist of the Azorean benthic marine algae. Later, the establishment of the University of the Azores on the Island ...
Short term effects of irradiance on the growth of Pterocladiella capillacea (Ge...
Patarra, Rita F.; Lloveras, Anna A.; Carreiro, Ana S.; Abreu, Maria H.; Buschmann, Alejandro H.; Neto, Ana I.Pterocladiella capillacea has been economically exploited for agar extraction in the Azores for many years. Harvesting dropped to a full stop in the early 1990s due to a population collapse, but restarted in 2013. Since then it has been intensively harvested and overexploitation must be prevented, with both sustainable harvesting and effective cultivation practices. This study represents the first attempt to de...

Aquacultura Multi-Trófica Integrada (IMTA) e as macroalgas marinhas
Patarra, Rita F.O desenvolvimento intensivo da aquacultura nas últimas décadas, bem como a crescente pressão nas zonas costeiras suscitou, e continua a suscitar, muitas preocupações ambientais. O aumento destas monoculturas intensivas, bem como o incremento do cultivo de peixes carnívoros e de camarão, resultaram na utilização excessiva de recursos, na dependência de rações comerciais, bem como precipitaram o aumento de descar...
Concise review of the species Pterocladiella capillacea (S.G. Gmelin) Santelice...
Patarra, Rita F.; Iha, C.; Pereira, Leonel; Neto, Ana I.Pterocladiella capillacea is a well-known source of high quality bacteriological and pharmaceutical grade agar and agarose, being economically exploited in few countries. From current knowledge all raw material is collected from wild populations that are being overharvested. This resulted in a biomass shortage, and consequently the wholesale prices peaked in the last years and the future of this industry is unc...
