Use of the gonadal tissue of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus as a target f...

Many environmental monitoring works have been carried out using biomarkers as a tool to identify the effects of oil contamination on marine organisms; however, only a few studies have used sea urchin gonadal tissue for this purpose. Within this context, the present work aimed to understand the impact of an oil spill, proposing the use of sea urchin gonadal tissue as a biomarker for environmental contamination b...

ficoEst – a tool to estimate the body composition of farmed fish

ficoEst - Fish Composition Estimator is a public web tool to estimate the whole-body proximate composition of farmed fish (https://webtools.sparos.pt/ficoest/). The tool was designed for researchers in fish nutrition and fish farmers, and is available for six commercially relevant species: gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata), European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), meagre (Argyrosomus regius), rainbow trout (Onc...

Temporal changes in sex-specific color attributes and carotenoid concentration ...

The market value of sea urchin roe (female and male gonads) depends on several quality criteria, such as size, color, texture, and flavor. Sea urchins given dry pellet feed often produce large gonads, but the preferred bright orange color has been difficult to achieve without the inclusion of supplementary dietary carotenoids. Gonad color depends on carotenoid concentrations (CC), and is influenced by several f...

Motivation and preferences of Portuguese consumers’ towards sea urchin roe

Sea urchin roe is a gastronomic delicacy appreciated worldwide and Portugal is the third largest consumer nation of seafood. However, sea urchin roe is recognized as a seafood by few members of the national coastal communities. Motivated by an increasing interest of gastronomic and aquaculture sectors in producing this seafood, a survey was conducted among the participants of gastronomic festivals aiming to cha...

Somatic growth and gonadal development of Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816)...

Sea urchins’ gonads are a delicacy highly appreciated worldwide. In Europe, Paracentrotus lividus is one of the most valuable edible sea urchin species and a desired target for aquaculture. One of the challenges of echinoculture is to increase the sea urchins’ growth rate during the on-growing phase and reducing the production cycle required to obtain sea urchins of commercial size (test diameter ≈ 50 mm). The ...

Effects of single and mixed-diatom diets on growth, condition, and survival of ...

The development of rearing protocols promoting the larval development, pre and postmetamorphosis are key for echinoculture. Mixed diets combining diatom with other microalgae have been used with success and Rhodomonas sp. (Rho)-based diets showed promising results in larval survival. This study was aimed to evaluate the rearing success of Paracentrotus lividus larvae fed with mixed diets combining Rho with two ...

The effect of temperature on somatic and gonadal development of the sea urchin ...

The common sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) is the most consumed echinoid in Europe. It is considered a seafood delicacy, given its high-valued gonads. In sea urchins, temperature probably represents the most important abiotic factor affecting several physiological processes and it is essential to better establish optimal reference conditions for aquaculture. In this study, four rearing temperat...
