A horizon scan exercise for aquatic invasive alien species in Iberian inland wa...
Oficialdegui, Francisco J.; Zamora-Marín, José M.; Guareschi, Simone; Anastácio, Pedro M.; García-Murillo, Pablo; Ribeiro, Filipe; Miranda, RafaelAs the number of introduced species keeps increasing unabatedly, identifying and prioritising current and potential Invasive Alien Species (IAS) has become essential to manage them. Horizon Scanning (HS), defined as an exploration of potential threats, is considered a fundamental component of IAS management. By combining scientific knowledge on taxa with expert opinion, we identified the most relevant aquatic I...
Characterization of Small-Scale Fishing Activity in Luanda Bay (Angola)
Faria, Silvana; Macuéria, Marisa; Mosley, Benjamin A.; Teodósio, M. Alexandra; Baptista, VâniaLuanda Bay, the second largest bay and one of the most important ecosystems of the Angolan coast, supports many human activities. This bay supports a range of marine biodiversity that serves as a means of livelihood and source of income for more than fifty small-scale artisanal fisheries and collectors of worms and bivalve molluscs. The present study is the first record of this fishing activ...

RNA:DNA ratios as a proxy of egg production rates of Acartia
Cruz, Joana; Teodósio, M. Alexandra; Ben-Hamadou, Radhouane; Chícharo, Luís; Garrido, Susana; Re, Pedro; Santos, A. Miguel P.Estimates of copepod secondary production are of great importance to infer the global organic matter fluxes in aquatic ecosystems and species-specific responses of zooplankton to hydrologic variability. However, there is still no routine method to determine copepods secondary production in order to eliminate time consuming experimental analyses. Therefore, we determined whether there is a correlation between Eg...
