Editorial: Emerging topics in coastal and transitional ecosystems: science, lit...
Duarte, Bernardo; Teixeira, Célia M.; Martins, Irene; Engelen, Aschwin; Costa, Raquel L.; Adams, Janine Barbara; Bebianno, Maria João; Melo, Ricardo A.Marine coastal and transitional ecosystems are facing increasing impacts, and often reflect the most immediate effects of environmental change, habitat destruction, and biodiversity loss. With over half of the population currently living in coastal areas, these areas are of interest for multiple uses and resources, as well as subjected to multiple stressors and associated impacts derived from local and upstream...
Environmental influence on commercial fishery landings of small pelagic fish in...
Teixeira, Célia M.; Gamito, Rita; Miguel de Sousa Leitão, Francisco; Murta, Alberto G.; Cabral, Henrique N.; Erzini, Karim; Costa, Maria JoséSmall pelagic fishes are particularly abundant in areas with high environmental variability (zones of coastal upwelling and areas of tidal mixing and river discharge), and because of this, their abundance suffers large inter-annual and inter-decadal fluctuations. In Portugal, the most important species in terms of landings are European sardine, Atlantic horse mackerel and Atlantic chub mackerel. Small pelagic f...
Influence of environmental variables and fishing pressure on bivalve fisheries ...
Vânia, Baptista; Ullah, Hadayet; Teixeira, Célia M.; Range, Pedro; Erzini, Karim; Leitão, FranciscoClimate changes affect marine ecosystems and the survival, growth, reproduction and distribution of species, including those targeted by commercial fisheries. The impact of climate change has been reported for many fish species, but studies focusing on the effects of climate on bivalve resources are lacking. In Portugal, the harvesting of bivalves is an old and artisanal activity, of special importance along th...
Trends in landings of fish species potentially affected by climate change in Po...
Teixeira, Célia M.; Gamito, Rita; Leitão, Francisco; Erzini, Karim; Costa, Maria J.; Cabral, Henrique N.Fisheries are an important source of food, with a high economic value and social significance. The present worrying situation of the world fisheries is the result of the interaction between different factors (e.g. climatic variations, natural oscillations, technological innovation), but the greatest challenges are overfishing and climate change. The species richness of the Portuguese coast is generally higher t...
