Farmed fish as a functional food: Perception of fish fortification and the infl...
Ribeiro, Ana Ramalho; Altintzoglou, Themistoklis; Mendes, Júlio; Nunes, Maria Leonor; Dinis, Maria Teresa; Dias, JorgeBeing a rich source of important nutrients, including highly digestible proteins, vitamins (A, D3), trace minerals (iodine, selenium) and n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA), fish consumption is generally regarded as part of a healthy dietary pattern. Exogenous feeding in aquaculture unlocks the possibility to tailor fish composition with healthy valuable nutrients. However, the use of suppl...

Phaeodactylum tricornutum in finishing diets for gilthead seabream: effects on ...
Ribeiro, Ana Ramalho; Gonçalves, Amparo; Barbeiro, Mónica; Bandarra, Narcisa; Nunes, Maria Leonor; Carvalho, Maria Luisa; Silva, Joana; Navalho, JoãoMicroalgal biomasses are known to play a major role in fish pigmentation, which is particularly important in farmed fish, since colour and external appearance are the first cue for customers when choosing seafood. A study was undertaken to assess the potential of microalgae biomass from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a functional ingredient for gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) feeds. Three experimenta...
