New insights about the introduction of the Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata, into the North East Atlantic from Asia based on a highly polymorphic mitochondrial region
( EDP Sciences , 2016 , Article)It is commonly presumed that the Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata was introduced into the North East (NE) Atlantic from Asia. The analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a highly polymorphic non-coding mitochondrial ... -
Extending the southern range of four shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Stenopodidae, Hippolytidae and Alpheidae) in southwestern Atlantic (27oS) and confirming the presence of Mediterranean Stenopus spinosus Risso, 1827 in Brazil
( Zootaxa , 2015 , Article)In subtidal zones, certain shrimp species with cryptic behaviour represent a gap in the biodiversity description in many places in the world. This study extends the southern limit of Stenopus hispidus (Oliver, 1811), Alpheus ... -
Reproductive effort of the European clam Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758): influence of different diets and temperatures
( Taylor & Francis , 2016 , Article)Ruditapes decussatus is a species of importance to aquaculture. For hatcheries to consistently produce spat it is essential to develop broodstock conditioning techniques. Food and temperature are the main factors that ... -
Decapod assemblages in subtidal and intertidal zones—Importance of scuba diving as a survey technique in tropical reefs, Brazil
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Decapods play a crucial role within the reef ecosystem and the development of scuba diving as a survey tool has allowed researchers the opportunity to study the decapod–reef relationship more comprehensively. The present ... -
Artisanal fishing of spiny lobsters with gillnets — A significant anthropic impact on tropical reef ecosystem
(2015 , Article)Artisanal fishing activity with gillnets to capture the spiny lobster is a common practice along the coastal reefs of Brazil. This research aims to understand the impact that this artisanal fishing practice is having on ... -
The nocturnal zonation of decapods in the subtidal zone within the reef seascape-abiotic factors defining habitats
( Oxford University Press , 2017 , Article)© International Council for the Exploration of the Sea 2017. All rights reserved. The relationship between populations of marine organisms and physicochemical gradients directly influence distributions of species within ... -
First genotoxicity assessment of marine environment in Qatar using the local Pearl oyster Pinctada radiata
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)The Arabian Gulf countries’ marine environment has been subjected to increasing industrial development and anthropogenic pressure, leading to the growing introduction of contaminants into the marine environment, with a ... -
Is metal contamination responsible for increasing aneuploidy levels in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum?
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)The present study assessed the metal genotoxicity potential at chromosome-level in the bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum collected along different areas of the Tagus estuary. Higher levels of aneuploidy on gill cells were ... -
