Abstract:
... Picophytoplankton (PPP) may contribute to the bulk of primary production in nutrient-rich marine ecosystems. In this study, we quantified the capacity of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and clubbed tunicates (Styela clava) to exploit PPP. In the water, we introduced PPP cells that were isotopically labelled with ¹³C and using the same enrichment approach, we measured the secondary transfer (recyclin ...

Abstract:
... Problems sourcing spat from naturally occurring seed beds for relay has been the main underlying limiting factor in mussel aquaculture over recent years. Attempts to address this issue require a better understanding of mussel larval patterns during the initial planktonic phase prior to settlement. A crucial step in progressing the detection and prediction of larval travel is the accurate identific ...

Abstract:
... Coastal production areas can be impacted by anthropogenic contamination from urban, agro-industrial and leisure activities. Some contaminants, such as chemical substances, might also have a telluric origin. Non filter feeding univalve mollusks, such as limpets, which are collected in rocky shores either for sale or for auto-consumption, are very appreciated in Portugal, but have been excluded from ...

Abstract:
... Following recent advances in hatchery technology and large-scale larval rearing of spiny and slipper lobsters, a greater understanding of key nutritional requirements is now imperative to facilitate feed development for juvenile culture. However, there is a lack of relevant information available for the slipper lobsters, particularly Thenus species. This study sought to evaluate the potential requ ...

Abstract:
... Reliance on seafood for a source of animal protein is growing globally and this is likely to continue as Earth's population continues to rise. An active shift towards farmed produce over wild caught is occurring, attributed to dwindling wild populations, increased productivity potential and increased food security needs. Although production is rising, producers and regulators are continually chall ...

Abstract:
... Parameterization is one of the most challenging steps in the construction of individual-based models, and it is particularly relevant for the case of Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory given that DEB parameters are mapped to a multimodal fitness landscape. This multimodal fitness landscape could correspond to parameterizations that provide the right outcome for the wrong reasons. Given the lack of ...

Abstract:
... Digenean larvae of hermaphroditic generation – cercariae – are known to be polymorphic at genetic and behavioural levels. Cercariae arise as a result of parthenogenetic reproduction of intramolluscan stages, and represent a clone if a snail was infected with a single miracidium. Here we investigated cercarial clones of Himasthla elongata – namely, the infectivity of cercariae with normal (negative ...
