Abstract Green macroalgae (Chlorophyta) currently represent a residual fraction (<1%) of global seaweed biomass production landings. In turn, red (Rhodophyta) and brown (Ochrophyta) dominate the remaining percentage aquaculture production, exceeding 32 million tonnes per annum. However, industry relies on relatively low number species, in which as few seven macroalgal genera collectively bulk metrics. At present, innovation increased sustainability calls for diversification...
The edible clam Venerupis decussata is widely distributed in European aquatic systems, some of which are under strong anthropogenic pressure, can contribute to trophic transfer xenobiotics humans. Accordingly, the present study focused on tolerance, bioconcentration, and biochemical responses V. after exposure ecologically relevant concentrations lead. Health risks humans consumption clams was also explored. An acute toxicity assay (96 h) conducted with wild clams, using Pb ranging from 0 mg...
Elysia crispata (Sacoglossa, Gastropoda) is a tropical sea slug known for its ability to incorporate functional chloroplasts from variety of green macroalgae, phenomenon termed kleptoplasty. This slug, amenable laboratory cultivation, produces mucus, viscous secretion that serves diverse purposes including protection, locomotion, and reproduction. In this study, we profiled the antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory activities mucus slug. Results revealed inhibitory activity against...
Codium tomentosum is a recently domesticated green macroalga, being currently cultured as an extractive species in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA). Optimization of light requirements outdoor systems must be achieved to increase the market value cultivated algal biomass. The present study addresses seasonal effects intensity and wavelength on productivity, pigment composition epiphyte overgrowth C. land-based IMTA system. Exposure high (non-filtered sun light) lead higher net...
In an era of unprecedented environmental changes, understanding the combined effects multiple stressors on species' performance is urgent. The increasing UV-filter incorporation in daily-life products raises concerns about their potential impact marine-coastal environments upon release. As rarely act alone, global change-induced factors, such as ocean acidification (OA), can amplify ecological hazards promoted by contaminants coastal realms. This study investigated impacts UV-filters...
