Approaches to improve utilization of Nannochloropsis oceanica in plant-based feeds for Atlantic salmon
Gong, Yangyang; Sørensen, Solveig Lysfjord; Dahle, Dalia; Nadanasabesan, Nimalan; Dias, Jorge; Valente, Luisa M.P.; Sørensen, Mette; Kiron, Viswanath (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rigid cell walls of microalgae lower the digestibility and nutrient bioavailability in carnivorous fish. Extrusion is a thermo-mechanical process and a scalable technology that may break cell walls and improves nutrient ... -
Changes in intestinal microbiota, immune- and stress-related transcript levels in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) fed plant ingredient diets intercropped with probiotics or immunostimulants
Batista, Sonia; Ozorio, Rodrigo O.A.; Kollias, Spyros; Dhanasiri, Anusha K.S.; Lokesh, Jep; Kiron, Viswanath; Valente, Luisa M.P.; Fernandes, Jorge Manuel de Oliveira (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is a highly valued flatfish that grows well with diets containing plant ingredients but their effects on immune competence is still a matter of debate. The current study aimed to examine ... -
Dietary protein complexity modulates growth, protein utilisation and the expression of protein digestion-related genes in Senegalese sole larvae
Canada, Paula; Conceição, Luis E.C.; Mira, Sara; Teodosio, Rita; Fernandes, Jorge Manuel de Oliveira; Barrios, Carmen; Millan, Francisco; Pedroche, Justo; Valente, Luisa M.P.; Engrola, Sofia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Gracilaria gracilis and Nannochloropsis oceanica, singly or in combination, in diets alter the intestinal microbiota of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Ferreira, Mariana; Abdelhafiz, Yousri Abdelmutalab Ahmed; Abreu, Helena; Silva, Joana; Valente, Luisa M.P.; Viswanath, Kiron (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Larval dietary protein complexity affects the regulation of muscle growth and the expression of DNA methyltransferases in Senegalese sole
Canada, Paula; Engrola, Sofia; Mira, Sara; Teodosio, Rita; Yust, Maria del Mar; Sousa, Vera; Pedroche, Justo; Fernandes, Jorge Manuel de Oliveira; Conceição, Luis E.C.; Valente, Luisa M.P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Molecular regulation of muscle development and growth in Senegalese sole larvae exposed to temperature fluctuations
Campos, Catarina; Valente, Luisa M.P.; Conceição, Luis E.C.; Engrola, Sofia; Fernandes, Jorge M.O. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is a marine flatfish that is naturally exposed to high temperature fluctuations (12 - 28 ºC) in the wild, with a life cycle predominantly estuarine during larval and juvenile phases. ... -
Nutritional value, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of micro‑and macroalgae, single or blended, unravel their potential use for aquafeeds
Ferreira, Mariana; Teixeira, Carla De Brito; Abreu, Helena; Silva, Joana; Costas, Benjamin; Kiron, Viswanath; Valente, Luisa M.P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Physical processing or supplementation of feeds with phytogenic compounds, alginate oligosaccharide or nucleotides as methods to improve the utilization of Gracilaria gracilis by juvenile European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Valente, Luisa M.P.; Batista, Sonia; Ribeiro, Catarina; Pereira, Ricardo; Oliveira, Beatriz; Garrido, Inês; Baião, Luís F.; Tulli, Francesa; Messina, Maria; Pierre, Ronan; Abreu, Helena; Pintado, Manuela; Kiron, Viswanath (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study assessed both the effectiveness of a physical-mechanical rupture method and the ability of feed additives (phytogenic compounds, alginate oligosaccharide and nucleotides) to enhance the utilization of G. gracilis ... -
Plant protein blends in diets for Senegalese sole affect skeletal muscle growth, flesh texture and the expression of related genes
Valente, Luisa M.P.; Cabral, Eduarda M.; Sousa, Vera; Cunha, Luis M.; Fernandes, Jorge M.O. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Skeletal muscle growth and flesh quality of Senegalese sole fed diets containing increasing levels of plant protein blends to replace fishmeal were evaluated using muscle cellularity, texture profile and gene expression. ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The full expression of growth potential in fish larvae largely depends on an efficient protein utilisation, which requires that all the indispensable amino acids (IAA) are provided at an optimum ratio. The effect of ... -
Thermal plasticity of the miRNA transcriptome during Senegalese sole development
Campos, Catarina; Sundaram, Arvind; Valente, Luisa M.P.; Conceição, Luis E.C.; Engrola, Sofia; Fernandes, Jorge M.O.
