We report on a rapid and practical method to assess social dimensions of performance in small-scale industrial fisheries globally (Social Wellbeing Fisheries Tool (SWIFT)). SWIFT incorporates aspects security (fairness stability earnings, benefits employment local fishing communities, worker protection, personal safety health communities associated with fisheries); flexibility (including opportunity for economic advancement); the fishery’s viability whether fishery is recruiting new...
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are strong settlement inducers for two exploited limpets, Patella aspera and ordinaria (Patellogastropoda: Patellidae). This study evaluates CCA-conditioned seawater (CSW) as a inducer the same species through nine assays aimed at its concentration, preservation, production, enhancer sub-optimal substrates. Two additional tested affinity of limpet larvae to settle on CCA surfaces. Each showed specific requirements. Settlement P. was higher in than CSW, whereas...
The identification of novel feed materials as a source functional ingredients is topical priority in the finfish aquaculture sector. Due to agrotechnical practices associated and phytochemical profiling, halophytes emerge new feedstuff for aquafeeds, with potential boost productivity environmental sustainability. Therefore, present study aimed assess Salicornia ramosissima incorporation (2.5, 5, 10%), 2 months, diet juvenile European seabass, seeking antioxidant (in liver, gills, blood)...
Abstract Innovation in limpet production requires knowledge of the optimal qualities and limitations culture vessels. Two species from Madeira fishery, Patella aspera P. ordinaria , were used to evaluate influence vessel shape (microtubes, test tubes, centrifuge specimen cups, disposable vials, flasks beakers), composition (polypropylene glass), volume (1.5 ml 1.5 L) stocking density on oocyte incubation larval through nine assays. Moreover, three assays evaluated use microtubes isolation...
