- Advances in comparative endocrinologyPublication . Guerreiro, Pedro Miguel; Cardoso, João C.This is the 10th volume of Advances in Comparative Endocrinology, a series of books that collect the communications presented at the congresses of the Iberian Association for Comparative Endocrinology (AIEC). This round number marks roughly 20 years since the foundation of AIEC and the beginning of the biennial meetings organized by AIEC affiliated groups. In 2005, our Comparative Endocrinology and Integrative Biology group CEIB-CCMAR organized the 5th AIEC meeting and it was a pleasure to welcome the 12th AIEC Congress back again to Faro, Portugal, in 2019 (26-28 September). Volume X includes contributions resulting from plenary, keynote, oral or poster presentations, and authored by almost 150 senior or young scientists and students, which show the latest advances in the fields of reproduction, energy metabolism, genomics, evolution, stress, immune response and growth in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Studies range from fundamental questions on endocrinology to environmental challenges, animal production and welfare, or the mechanisms of disease, and reach beyond the Iberian borders. In addition to Portugal and Spain, the science presented here comes from institutions in Canada, Chile, France, Norway and USA. About 30% of the communications result from international cooperation, and over 55% were direct collaborations between institutions. AIEC aims to promote collaborations and its congresses are a privileged stage for networking.
- Applying ecohydrology to promote a nature-based solutionPublication . Teodosio, Maria; Faria, Silvana; Baptista, Vânia; Wolanski, EricThis chapter aims to develop an ecohydrological modelling approach to propose an environmental engineering solution based on historical nature-based information to alleviate the severe water degradation problem within Luanda Bay, Angola. This solution would improve local communities' ecosystem health and quality of life. The model suggests a simple and practical solution to solving the pollution problem by opening a cut from the bay's shallows to the sea. This will essentially reproduce an old bay opening to the sea, which was filled early in the last century. The residence time of water in the shallows of Luanda Bay would be reduced to about one week by excavating the channel over the land is straightforward. This should return the system to a more natural state and improve the water quality for recreational activities, increase the quality of marine food resources, reduce toxic algae blooms, and improve the quality of life of people in the area. Nevertheless, preventing pollutants from reaching Luanda Bay is the only long-term solution to restore a healthy environment in Luanda Bay

- Class AphanoneuraPublication . Gil, João; J. Glasby, Christopher; Martin, DanielThe Aphanoneura are a class of Annelida, with an equivocal relationship with clitellates (oligochaetes and leeches) and no clear affiliation with any of the traditional polychaete groups (Struck & Purschke, 2005; Zrzavy´ et al., 2009). They comprise two families, Aeolosomatidae and Potamodrilidae, which have been included among the Polychaeta in previous reviews of freshwater annelids (Glasby & Timm, 2008; Glasby et al., 2009). Aeolosomatidae, currently considered Annelida incertae sedis (WoRMS, 2012), is the most diverse and abundant aphanoneuran represented in the Palaearctic by three genera: Rheomorpha Ruttner-Kolisko, 1955 (one species), Hystricosoma Michaelsen, 1926 (one species) and Aeolosoma Ehrenberg, 1828 (at least 20 species). The Potamodrilidae is represented in the Palaearctic by a single species, Potamodrilus fluviatilis (Lasto ckin, 1935.)
- Comparative Behavior of Wild and Hatchery Reared White Sea Bream (Diplodus sargus) Released on Artificial Reefs Off the Algarve (Southern Portugal)Publication . Lino, P. G.; Bentes, L.; Abecasis, D.; dos Santos, M. N.; Erzini, KarimThree hatchery produced and reared (HPR) and five wild white sea bream (Diplodus sargus) were double tagged with Vemco V8SC-2L acoustic transmitters and Floy Tag T-bar anchor tags, and released on artificial reefs located near a natural reef off the southern coast of Portugal. Passive telemetry was used to monitor movements of the white sea bream over a nine week period from April to June 2007. Differences in behavior at release, habitat association (artificial vs. natural reef), and in daily movements were registered. Wild fish moved from one habitat to the other with increased preference for the artificial habitat during the day, whereas HPR fish showed no site fidelity or consistent daily movement pattern and left the release site soon after release. Comparison of Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) showed a higher area usage by wild fish. This experiment shows that these artificial reefs are used on a daily basis by wild white sea bream but apparently are not optimal release locations for hatchery produced white sea bream.

- Lifespan, health and metabolic diseases. Book of abstracts, IX-SPB Clinical Biochemistry WorkshopPublication . Manuel, Aureliano; Simão, Márcio; Ferreira, Bibiana; Coelho, Ana Luísa; Simão, Sónia; Costa, Ana; Antunes, Célia; Cancela, LeonorThe IX Clinical Biochemistry Workshop (IX-CBW) was held on January 26, 2024, at the University of Algarve (UAlg), Faro, within the scope of the Clinical Biochemistry thematic group of the Portuguese Society of Biochemistry (SPB). It was the second time in 14 years that this important Workshop on Clinical Biochemistry will be held in Faro, after the IV edition (2010), chaired by Professor Aureliano Alves. The IX Clinical Biochemistry Workshop follows previous successful Clinical Biochemistry symposia held in Porto (2003, 2006, 2008, 2016), Faro (2010), Coimbra (2012), Lisbon (2014), and Évora (2018). This interdisciplinary event aims to bring together researchers from the scientific community who enhance the interaction between Biochemistry and Clinics to present their most recent discoveries on topics such as aging, health and metabolic diseases with an emphasis on neurological, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, among other pathologies. However, historically, this Workshop has had a high percentage of undergraduate, master's and doctoral students as participants, reflecting the interest that the event has had in scientists of the future. Students from various degrees, masters and doctorates, as well as researchers and teachers, are therefore invited to participate in the IX Clinical Biochemistry Workshop, in the simple city of Faro, where it is good to live, study and to do research! Share with us your latest research to a committed scientific community, which has shared and promoted these Workshops in this 21st century. The excellent quality expected from the presenters and their research will certainly serve as an innovative reference for the coming decades, allowing for a broader application of Clinical Biochemistry in various fields as well as promoting the quality of life of future generations.
- Mitigating slipping-related mortality from purse seine fisheries for small pelagic fish: case studies from European Atlantic watersPublication . Marçalo, Ana; Breen, Mike; Tenningen, Maria; Onandia, Iñigo; Arregi, Luis; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel SantosThe release of unwanted catches (UWC) from purse seines, while the catch is still in the water, is known as “slipping”. Once thought to be a benign process, compared to discarding UWC overboard from the fishing vessel, it is now recognised that “slipping” can lead to significant mortality in the released fish if done inappropriately. In this chapter, we examine purse seining and slipping operations, and discuss what drives slipping and potential mitigation measures to reduce slipping mortality. We use three examples of purse seine fisheries for small pelagic species in the North-east Atlantic; from Norway, Portugal and Spain. The ideal solution (identifying and avoiding UWC before the net is set) requires the development of tools to enable fishers to better characterise target schools in terms of key selection criteria, e.g., with respect to species, individual size and catch biomass. Such tools are being developed, based primarily on hydro-acoustic technology. However, some UWC in purse seine catches are inevitable, and operational improvements in slipping practices have been shown to significantly reduce stress and mortality in the released UWC. We conclude with a discussion on the challenges currently facing the implementation of the European Union (EU) Landing Obligation with regards to minimising slipping related mortality.
- Ocean acidification impacts on zooplanktonPublication . Campoy, Ana N.; Cruz, Joana; Ramos, Joana Barcelos e; Viveiros, Fátima; Range, Pedro; Teodosio, M A; Teodósio, M. Alexandra; Barbosa, Ana B.Global change is and will continue impacting biodiversity, as many studies have already documented. Rising atmospheric CO2 is alleviated by oceanic uptake, since atmosphere and surface ocean exchange CO2 , but it also modifies the ocean carbonate system towards decreased carbonate ion concentrations and a corresponding decline in seawater pH. This process is known as ocean acidification (OA) and has a direct effect on plankton, namely calcifying organisms, such as coccolithophores, foraminifers, corals, molluscs and crustaceans, with consequences for the entire marine ecosystem (see review by Reibesell and Tortell 2011).
