Three Ecopath models were built to reproduce 3 experimental treatments carried out in earthen ponds located in Olhao, southern Portugal, to understand the energy transferred and the ecosystem state in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA). These earthen ponds beha...

Milkfish, an important aquaculture species in Asian countries, are traditionally cultured in outdoor-based systems. There, they experience potentially stressful fluctuations in environmental conditions, such as temperature, eliciting changes in fish physiology. While th...

Spatial and temporal variability in marine biological productivity may drive heterogeneity in seasonal resources available for marine animals in temperate waters. Migratory seabirds are expected to adjust their annual cycle of breeding activities and migratory movements...

AbstractMultiyear moored velocity observations of the Angola Current near 11°S reveal a weak southward mean flow superimposed by substantial intraseasonal to seasonal variability, including annual and semiannual cycles with distinct baroclinic structures. In the equator...

This study evaluated the effects of γ-irradiated horseshoe crab chitosan coating on extending the shelf-life of selected high commercial value seafood. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FE-SEM), X-ray diffracti...

International audience; A collision of Mediterranean Water dipoles in the Gulf of Cadiz is studied here, using data from the MedTop and Semane experiments. First, a Mediterranean Water eddy (meddy) was surveyed hydrologically in November 2000 southwest of Cape Saint Vin...

The population genetic structure of Calanoides natalis (ex Calanoides carinatus; Copepoda, Calanoida), an ecologically important component of African upwelling systems, was studied in order to (i) search for potential cryptic species, (ii) describe spatial patterns in t...

AbstractMonitoring vessel traffic in coastal regions is a key element of maritime security. For this reason, additional ways of detecting moving vessels are explored by using the unique structure of their wake waves based on pressure measurements at the seabed. The expe...

The chemical diversity associated with marine natural products (MNP) is unanimously acknowledged as the. blue gold. in the urgent quest for new drugs. Consequently, a significant increase in the discovery of MNP published in the literature has been observed in the past ...

Abstract In the last decade, the number of offshore wind farms has increased rapidly. Offshore wind farms are typically constructed in near-shore, shallow waters. These waters can be highly productive or provide nursery grounds for fish. EU legislation requires assessme...
