Phaeodactylum tricornutum biomass in microdiets enhances Senegalese sole (Solea...
Barreto, André; Pinto, Wilson; Rodrigues, Andreia; Rocha, Rui J. M.; Unamunzaga, Carlos; Silva, Tome; Dias, Jorge; Conceicao, LuisMicroalgae are one of the most promising groups of functional ingredients for inclusion in microdiets for Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) larvae, supplying components with anti-oxidant effects that may be important during an accelerated stage of development where excessive reactive oxygen substance production leading to oxidative stress may occur. The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum complies with such pot...
Evaluating the impact of methionine-enriched diets in the liver of European sea...
Farinha, Ana Paula; Schrama, Denise; Silva, Tome; Conceicao, Luis E. C.; Colen, Rita; Engrola, Sofia; Rodrigues, Pedro; Cerqueira, MarcoPlant protein sources play an essential role in aquaculture by reducing the use of fish meal to sustainable levels, although further supplementation is needed to fulfill fish nutritional requirements. This work addressed fish growth performance and proteome changes to dietary methionine in European seabass juveniles. A dose-dependent response to methionine (Met) was observed on fish growth consistent with prote...
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...
Thermal preference predicts animal personality in Nile tilapia Oreochromis nilo...
Cerqueira, Marco; Rey, Sonia; Silva, Tome; Featherstone, Zoe; Crumlish, Margaret; MacKenzie, Simon1. Environmental temperature gradients provide habitat structure in which fish orientate and individual thermal choice may reflect an essential integrated response to the environment. The use of subtle thermal gradients likely impacts upon specific physiological and behavioural processes reflected as a suite of traits described by animal personality. In this study, we examine the relationship between thermal ch...
