Seasonal variation in total phenolic content of Dictyopteris polypodioides (Dictyotaceae) and Cystoseira amentacea (Sargassaceae) from the Sicilian c…
2014
This study focuses on the differences in total phenolic content and its seasonal variations in two temperate brown algae, Cystoseira amentacea (C. Agardh) Bory and Dictyopteris polypodioides (A.P. De Candolle) J.V. Lamouroux, inhabiting respectively the infralittoral fringe and the upper infralittoral zone. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites, found in almost all brown algal orders, that function as defense against grazers, epiphytes and UV radiation. Total phenolic content was determined colorimetrically with the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Results showed significant differences in total phenol content between D. polypodioides and C. amentacea with higher values observed in the first…
Variazioni temporali della struttura di taglia in popolazioni sfruttate di Haliotis tuberculata (Mollusca Gastropoda) nel Golfo di Sferracavallo (PA)
2007
This study aims at evaluating the differences in size structure of population of H. tuberculata in the Gulf of Sferracavallo (northern Sicily) which experienced the co-occurrence of high exploitation and decrease of eutrophic conditions during the eighties and early nineties. Comparison of size structure showed significant differences between length frequency distributions of 1970-75s and 2002-2005, being the latter formed by smaller size green ormer.
