| detection of anthropogenic particles in fish stomachs: an isolation method adapted to identification by raman spectroscopy. | microplastic particles (mp) contaminate oceans and affect marine organisms in several ways. ingestion combined with food intake is generally reported. however, data interpretation often is circumvented by the difficulty to separate mp from bulk samples. visual examination often is used as one or the only step to sort these particles. however, color, size, and shape are insufficient and often unreliable criteria. we present an extraction method based on hypochlorite digestion and isolation of mp ... | 2015 | 26289815 |

| changes in the fish assemblages of a coastal lagoon subjected to gradual salinity increases. | this study analyses fish data to understand how the gradual increase of salinity registered in a coastal lagoon and consequently, anthropogenic disturbance, affected the fish communities. for that, fish assemblages of the ria de aveiro were sampled monthly in 3 years from different decades (1988, 1997 and 2012). dominant species were atherina boyeri, a. presbyter, sardina pilchardus, dicentrarchus labrax, liza aurata and l. ramada. significant differences in fish communities were detected among ... | 2016 | 27836187 |
| amino acid composition in eyes from zebrafish (danio rerio) and sardine (sardina pilchardus) at the larval stage. | a comparative study was performed to identify differences in the amino acid composition of the eyes from zebrafish (danio rerio) and sardine (sardina pilchardus) larvae and their link to the environmental adaption of the species. amino acids in the acidic hydrolysates of eyes from 11 zebrafish and 12 sardine were determined with the use of high-performance liquid chromatography involving precolumn derivatization with ortho-phthalaldehyde. differences in the content of most amino acids were detec ... | 2016 | 27186483 |
| body reserves mediate trade-offs between life-history traits: new insights from small pelagic fish reproduction. | limited resources in the environment prevent individuals from simultaneously maximizing all life-history traits, resulting in trade-offs. in particular, the cost of reproduction is well known to negatively affect energy investment in growth and maintenance. here, we investigated these trade-offs during contrasting periods of high versus low fish size and body condition (before/after 2008) in the gulf of lions. female reproductive allocation and performance in anchovy (engraulis encrasicolus) and ... | 2016 | 27853538 |
| spatial variations in feeding habits and trophic levels of two small pelagic fish species in the central mediterranean sea. | trophic ecology of adults of european sardine (sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (engraulis encrasicolus) was examined and compared among various regions of central mediterranean sea. carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses (δ(13)c and δ(15)n) were adopted as a tool to determine changes in feeding behaviour of adults of sardines and anchovies. in the study period (summer) a clear geographical pattern was recognized in the isotopic composition of both species, with an increasing trend northward ... | 2016 | 26895386 |
| morphology of the filtration apparatus of three planktivorous fishes and relation with ingested anthropogenic particles. | anthropogenic particles (aps), including microplastics, are ingested by a wide variety of marine organisms. exposure of clupeiformes (e.g. herrings, anchovies, sardines) is poorly studied despite their economic and ecological importance. this study aims to describe the morphology of the filtration apparatus of three wild-caught clupeiformes (sardina pilchardus, clupea harengus and engraulis encrasicolus) and to relate the results to ingested aps. consequently, the species with the more efficient ... | 2017 | 28065554 |
| toxic metals in tissues of fishes from the black sea and associated human health risk exposure. | the anthropogenic activities in the black sea area are responsible for toxic metal contamination of sea food products. in this study, several toxic metals: cadmium, lead, nickel, chromium, and copper were quantified in different tissues (digestive tract, muscle, skeleton, skin) of nine fish species (neogobius melanostomus, belone belone, solea solea, trachurus mediterraneus ponticus, sardina pilchardus, engraulis encrasicolus, pomatomus saltatrix, sprattus sprattus, scorpaena porcus) by using at ... | 2017 | 28127691 |
