As vacas são eficientes do ponto de vista ambiental?
Emidio, Bárbara; Gonçalves, Bárbara; Fidalgo, Bruna; Ferreira, Mariana; Mendes, Laura; Pereira, Vitória; Lalanda, Helena; Oliveira, MargaridaA produção animal tem sido apontada como uma das fontes de emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), os quais são os principais impulsionadores das alterações climáticas. Mas, algumas das informações que são difundidas ao público são infundadas, provocando más interpretações. Claro que o Acordo de Paris tem de ser levado a sério para se atingirem os objetivos de estabilização do aquecimento global, havendo muit...
Sustainable feed formulation to community‐based aquaculture: Oreochromis niloti...
Pires, Sílvia F. S.; Vital, Inês; Pereira, Vitória; Bustani, Henriques; Aragão, Cláudia; Engrola, Sofia; Cabano, Miguel; Dias, JorgeCommunity-based aquaculture can reduce dependence on natural resources, promote biodiversity conservation, and improve local economies and food security. However, this activity is highly dependent on local conditions regarding natural resources, such as the availability of produced organisms, adequate feeds, and environmental factors. As ectothermic organisms, fish are more susceptible to temperature fluctuatio...
DNA damage and oxidative stress responses of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis ...
Braga, Ana C.; Pereira, Vitória; Marçal, Raquel; Marques, Ana; Guilherme, Sofia; Costa, Pedro R.; Pacheco, MárioCommonly affected by changes in climate and environmental conditions, coastal areas are very dynamic environments where shellfish play an important ecological role. In this study, the oxidative stress and genotoxic responses of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) exposed to paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) - producing dinoflagellates Gymnodinium catenatum were evaluated under i) current conditions (CC: 19 °C; pH...
A multidimensional concept for mercury neuronal and sensory toxicity in fish - ...
Pereira, Patrícia; Korbas, Malgorzata; Pereira, Vitória; Cappello, Tiziana; Maisano, Maria; Canário, João; Almeida, Armando; Pacheco, MárioNeuronal and sensory toxicity of mercury (Hg) compounds has been largely investigated in humans/mammals with a focus on public health, while research in fish is less prolific and dispersed by different species. Well-established premises for mammals have been governing fish research, but some contradictory findings suggest that knowledge translation between these animal groups needs prudence [e.g. the relative h...
Marine macroalgae as a dietary source of genoprotection in gilthead seabream (S...
Pereira, Vitória; Marques, Ana; Gaivão, Isabel; Rego, Andreia; Abreu, Helena; Pereira, Rui; Santos, Maria Ana; Guilherme, Sofia; Pacheco, MárioDNA integrity and stability are essential to organisms' health and survival. However, it has been neglected in what concerns to fish farming, disregarding the potential impact of endogenous/ exogenous factors. As marine macroalgae constitute a source of natural compounds with a large spectrum of biological activities, this study, situated in the interface of nutritional-genetic research and development of algae...
