The levels of hydrophilic, lipophilic, and enzymatic antioxidants, as well the fatty acids composition, triglyceride phospholipid fractions were determined in muscle tissue 21 species teleosts, 3 cephalopods, 6 crustaceans, just caught from central Tyrrhenian Sea (Mediterranean Sea). activities low-molecular-weight percentages acids, showed marked interspecies differences. Our results that total polyunsaturated (21.7−61.5%) highest, followed by saturated (16.9−41.3%) monounsaturated...
VMSbase is an R package devised to manage, process and visualize information about fishing vessels activity (provided by the vessel monitoring system - VMS) catches/landings (as reported in logbooks). primarily conceived be user-friendly; this end, a suite of state-of-the-art analyses accessible via graphical interface. In addition, uses database platform allowing large datasets stored, managed processed vey efficiently. Methodologies include data cleaning, that removal redundant or...
Holothuria tubulosa (Gmelin, 1788) has recently shown an increased demand in Asian markets, becoming one of the intensively exploited holothurian species Mediterranean Sea. A risk is that over-harvesting likely affecting both species' natural stocks and benthic communities. In this scenario, sea ranching restocking through aquaculture could assist mitigating its overexploitation. This study first to demonstrate successful artificial breeding rearing H. tubulosa, consequent potential as a new...
Holothuria polii (Delle Chiaje, 1823) is a common Mediterranean sea cucumber and has recently become highly exploited target species destined mainly to the Asian markets. Unregulated harvesting putting natural stocks at risk, with potential consequences for benthic communities which these organisms belong. In response aquaculture, ranching restocking could solutions this issue in region. study, we present first results on artificial breeding of H. polii, describing spawning induction, larval...
The anatomy and the histology of digestive tract young adult sea‐bream is described from studies using light scanning electron microscopy. dentition in juvenile (25–30 mm long) comprises all canine‐like teeth, to which plate teeth transition elements are added adult. oesophagus shows a multi‐layered mucosa upper part, single‐layered regions lower part. formed by epithelial cells, mucus‐secreting cells rich with eosinophilic granules. Y‐shaped stomach, clearly distinguishable, has columnar...
The shape development through ontogeny of the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata was studied by means geometric morphometry and elliptic Fourier analysis. In parallel, observations are reported on feeding habits same specimens until end larval stage. Data for later stages were obtained from literature. underwent ontogenetic shifts in diet zooplankton, selected larvae, to mysids, errant polychaete, amphipods isopods juveniles, finally hard prey (decapods, gastropods bivalves) adults. aims were:...
Management of catches, effort and exploitation pattern are considered the most effective measures to control fishing mortality ultimately ensure productivity sustainability fisheries. Despite growing concerns about spatial dimension fisheries, distribution resources in space is seldom assessment management processes. Here we propose SMART (Spatial MAnagement demersal Resources for Trawl fisheries), a tool assessing bio-economic feedback different scenarios. combines information from tasks...
The rationale applied for monitoring and managing fisheries is based on the implicit assumption that yield stocks status essentially determined by fisheries. Moreover, quantified analysed in terms of landings with respect to official management area registration vessels. In this way, real activity each fleet not considered prevent an effective spatial analysis factors affecting status. This paper firstly presents a VMS-based reconstruction fishing effort Italian trawlers Mediterranean Sea....
Abstract Monitoring marine resource exploitation is a key activity in fisheries science and biodiversity conservation. Since research surveys are time consuming costly, fishery‐dependent data (i.e., derived directly from fishing vessels) increasingly credited with role expanding the reach of ocean monitoring. Fishing vessels may be seen as widely ranging data‐collecting platforms, which could act fleet sentinels for monitoring life, particular exploited stocks. Here, we investigate...
In this paper, 981 reared juveniles of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) were analysed, 721 which from a commercial hatchery located in Northern Italy (Venice, Italy) and 260 the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (Crete, Greece). These individuals 4 different egg batches, total 10 lots. Each batch was split into two lots after hatching, with methodologies: intensive semi-intensive. All fish subjected to processing skeletal anomaly meristic count analysis. The aims involved: (1)...
