• Abstract

  This project integrates Horizon 2020/Aquavitae, research and innovation program of the European Union and has the aim of evaluating the effects of climate changes in species of interest for aquaculture and the carrying capacity of multitrophic systems conducted with these species. The cultivation will be performed in hatcheries of Primar Farm, participant in H2020 in Brazil and located in…

  Integrated aquaculture Horizon 2020: carrying capacity and physiology of shrimps, oysters and algae in integrated multi-trophic system, AP.R

• Abstract

  We aim to evaluate in laboratory the aspects of the physiology of marine crustaceans in the face of future climate change scenarios: ocean acidification and temperature and salinity alterations in consequence of rising sea level and/or increased rainfall. Although physiological systems keep internal environment reasonably constant under ideal conditions of pH, temperature, salinity, etc.,…

  Effects of ocean acidification and change of temperature and salinity on physiology of the fiddler crabs: a study in laboratory, AP.PFPMCG.R

• Abstract

  Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors and Litopenaeus vannamei is the most cultivated shrimp in the world. There are several environmental problems that can currently put biodiversity and aquaculture at risk, such as metals, microplastics and climate change. In this sense, cadmium is a metal that has been used intensively in electroplating, making batteries, pa…

  The role of exoskeleton exchange of the marine shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in the elimination of excess metal present in the body, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Microplastics are present in all aquatic environments, from marine to freshwater. Early studies have shown that these contaminants can affect various aspects of animal biology such as gills and gut morphophysiology, growth, reproduction, and be a transport route for other contaminants, such as metals, into the body of organisms. However, information about its effects on the biology of org…

  The effects of microplastics on the physiology of marine crustaceans, diadromes and freshwater of economic interest, BP.IC

• Abstract

  It is known that for every kilo of marine shrimp caught, up to 13 kilos of other species are captured together and possibly discarded because they have no economic interest. These animals constitute the by-catch fishing. In 2013, a project by our research group (CNPQ, Process 408968 / 2013-3) evaluated which was the main species present in the marine shrimp fishery of the coast of São Pau…
