Almeida, Rita; Tanner, S.E.; Mateus, Catarina S.; Ribeiro, F.; Quintella, B.R.European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax [Linnaeus, 1758]) is a euryhaline marine migrant fish highly valuable for fisheries and aquaculture. Although juveniles are known to use estuaries and occasionally move to freshwater environments, these freshwater incursions had not been reported for adults. Recently, this behavior was observed in the Tagus River (Portugal) for adults occurring up to 150 km from the river...
Elemental Chemometrics as Tools to Depict Stalked Barnacle (Pollicipes pollicip...
Duarte, B.; Mamede, R.; Duarte, I.A.; Caçador, I.; Tanner, S.E.; Silva, M.; Jacinto, D.; Cruz, T.; Fonseca, V.F.The stalked barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes is an abundant species on the very exposed rocky shore habitats of the Spanish and Portuguese coasts, constituting also an important economical resource, as a seafood item with high commercial value. Twenty-four elements were measured by untargeted total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (TXRF) in the edible peduncle of stalked barnacles sampled in six sites a...
Habitat quality of estuarine nursery grounds: Integratingnon-biological indicat...
Fonseca, V.F.; P Vasconcelos, Rita; Tanner, S.E.; França, Susana; Serafim, A.; Lopes, B.; Company, R.; Bebianno, M.J.; Costa, Maria JoséEstuaries are highly valuable ecosystems that provide various goods and services to society, such as foodprovision and supporting nursery habitats for various aquatic species. Estuarine habitat quality assess-ment is thus critical in managing both ecological and economic value. In this work, various biological andnon-biological indicators of habitat quality in estuarine nursery areas were determined, encompassi...
