Reproductive trade-offs in a temperate reef fish under high pCO2 levels
Faria, Ana Margarida; Lopes, Ana F.; Silva, Cátia Sofia Esteves da; Novais, Sara C.; Lemos, Marco F. L.; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoFishes are currently facing novel types of anthropogenic stressors that have never experienced in their evolutionary history, such as ocean acidification. Under these stressful conditions, energetically costly processes, such as reproduction, may be sacrificed for increased chances of survival. This trade-off does not only affect the organism itself but may result in reduced offspring fitness. In the present st...
Sand smelt ability to cope and recover from ocean's elevated CO2 levels
Silva, Cátia Sofia Esteves da; Lemos, Marco F. L.; Faria, Ana Margarida; Lopes, Ana F.; Mendes, Susana; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Novais, Sara C.Considered a major environmental concern, ocean acidification has induced a recent research boost into effects on marine biodiversity and possible ecological, physiological, and behavioural impacts. Although the majority of literature indicate negative effects of future acidification scenarios, most studies are conducted for just a few days or weeks, which may be insufficient to detect the capacity of an organi...
Effects of ocean acidification on the swimming ability, development and biochem...
Silva, Cátia Sofia Esteves da; Novais, Sara C.; Lemos, Marco F. L.; Mendes, Susana; Oliveira, Ana P.; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Faria, Ana MargaridaOcean acidification, recognized as a major threat to marine ecosystems, has developed into one of the fastest growing fields of research in marine sciences. Several studies on fish larval stages point to abnormal behaviours, malformations and increased mortality rates as a result of exposure to increased levels of CO2. However, other studies fail to recognize any consequence, suggesting species-specific sensiti...

Evaluating the effects of ocean acidification on sand-smelt larvae through bioc...
Silva, Cátia Sofia Esteves daA acidificação oceânica é um problema global, cujos efeitos são ainda pouco estudados. Com maior foco de investigação em organismos com exoesqueleto calcário, pouca atenção tem sido dada ao potencial impacto noutros processos e componentes do ecossistema, como o caso dos estágios iniciais do ciclo de vida de outros organismos, como os peixes. Neste sentido, o principal objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os ef...
