Lipid content and fatty acid profile of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis Kaup, 1858) juveniles as affected by feed containing different amounts of plant protein sources

A growth trial with Senegalese Sole (Solea senegalensis Kaup, 1858) juveniles fed with diets containing increasing replacement levels of fishmeal by mixtures of plant protein sources was conducted over 12 weeks. Total fat contents of muscle, liver, viscera, skin, fins and head tissues were determined, as well as fatty acid profiles of muscle and liver (GC-FID analysis). Liver was the preferential local for fat deposition (5.5–10.8% of fat) followed by fins (3.4–6.7% fat). Increasing levels of plant protein in the diets seems to be related to increased levels of total lipids in the liver. Sole muscle is lean (2.4–4.0% fat), with total lipids being similar among treatments. Liver fatty acid profile varied significantly among treatments. Plant protein diets induced increased levels of C16:1 and C18:2 n -6 and a decrease in ARA and EPA levels. Muscle fatty acid profile also evidenced increasing levels of C18:2 n 6, while ARA and DHA remained similar among treatments. Substitution of fishmeal by plant protein is hence possible without major differences on the lipid content and fatty acid profile of the main edible portion of the fish – the muscle.

La littérature selon Roland Barthes

Para obter o Grau de Mestre em Tradução e Interpretação Especializadas apresento este projecto de tradução do ensaio de Vincent Jouve “La Littérature selon Roland Barthes” e análise crítica das dificuldades tradutórias encontradas. Para a tradutora é uma actividade inovadora e aliciante. A selecção da obra reveste-se de argumentos tanto pessoais como profissionais sendo particularmente oportuna, pois coincide com o centenário de nascimento de Barthes. Roland Barthes é um autor rico, complexo e desconcertante que, embora pouco estudado à época, levanta emoções extremas: adorado por uns e detestado por outros. O ensaio de Vincent Jouve reflecte essa riqueza quer de forma quer de conteúdo. Participar na divulgação, mesmo que só académica, destes autores é muito gratificante. O ensaio literário tem características próprias, que o tornam semelhante a uma manifestação artística, privilegia-se o sentido traduzindo a obra sem recorrer a progamas de tradução. Este relatório é composto por três partes fundamentais: a preparação prévia, a tradução e a análise das dificuldades. O apêndice é constituido pela obra traduzida e pelos capítulos analizados (I e IV), en Francês.

List of species in the genus Lutzomyia, França, 1924 (Psychodidae, Phlebotominae) from the State of Mato Grosso

This work had the objective of listing the sand fly species that occur in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Data relating to entomological surveys conducted between 1996 and 2004 were obtained from the National Health Foundation and the State Health Department, and this was supplemented with information from research carried out in the state and from the specialized literature. There were records of 106 sand fly species belonging to the genus Lutzomyia. This is a rich and diversified fauna, with some species restricted to forested areas and others recorded throughout the state, independent of the vegetation type, and in areas modified by human action, with predominance of Lutzomyia whitmani.

Owner portraits and heraldry in the "Lamoignon Hours"

Because of the distance in time and the lack of testifying documents, one should be extremely careful when labelling portraits in medieval books of hours as donor portraits or owner portraits. There are, however, manuscripts that reveal their first owner within their decorative programme, and the Lamoignon Hours (Lisbon, Gulbenkian, ms LA 237) is one of these. This article aims to discuss the iconography of the three portraits found on f.165v, f.202v and f.286v, as well as the relevance of portraiture and heraldic insignia in books of hours and the significance of such content to the original owner and to those who possessed the book afterwards.

Ocorrência de dois citotipos em Serrasalmus spilopleura Kner, 1858 (characiformes, serrasalmidae) da região de confluência dos Rios Negro e Solimões, Amazonas, Brasil

Descreve-se pela primeira vez o cariótipo de exemplares de S. spilopleura da Amazônia Central. Todos os indivíduos analisados apresentaram número diplóide igual a 60 cromossomos, em conformidade com os dados da espécie obtidos em indivíduos da bacia do Paraná-Paraguai. No entanto, dois citótipos foram encontrados em simpatria na região de confluência dos rios Negro e Solimões, os quais não estão relacionados a heteromorfismo sexual. Além disso, os dois citótipos da Amazônia diferem dos três anteriormente descritos em exemplares do Paraná-Paraguai. A presença de distintos citótipos encontrados em simpatria e alopatria para S. spilopleura nos leva a sugerir que, ou essa espécie apresenta uma ampla heterogeneidade cariotípica ou existe um complexo de espécies cuja morfologia é muito semelhante.
