IBERAS0926 estimates sardine abundance

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 12:02

Until the end of September, scientists from the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA) and the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) will conduct the IBERAS0926 acoustic survey. This survey's main objective is to estimate the strength of sardine recruitment, that is, the abundance of individuals born this year who, starting next year, will join the population of this species. Recruitment is a fundamental indicator for assessing the state of the sardine population and for supporting future fishery management decisions. This collaboration between Portugal and Spain allows for a more complete and comprehensive monitoring of the sardine population in the Northeast Atlantic.

Leukemia: warning symptoms, types, diagnosis and available treatments to fight the disease

Leukemia is a group of oncohematological diseases that affect blood cells and, in most cases, originate in the bone marrow, the tissue where blood cells are produced. It is not a single type of cancer, but rather a set of different diseases, each with its own characteristics, symptoms, diagnostic methods and specific treatment options.

Poor air quality revealed in Northern schools

A study by the "Respirar Fundo" project, co-funded by the European Union, analyzed air quality in 13 schools across the country, including three in Northern Portugal (EB de Manhente in Barcelos, EB de Freixo in Ponte de Lima, and EB 2/3 Pevidém and EB Gil Vicente in Guimarães), revealing that atmospheric pollutants measured at the entrance to these schools exceed future legal limits. The monitoring, conducted by the Environmental and Sustainability Research Centre, found that in nine of the 12 schools analyzed, concentrations of PM2.5 and NO₂ would exceed the stricter limit values of European Directive 2024/2881, which comes into force in 2030. The problem is worsened by road traffic, with peaks during rush hours. The project will now expand with "Respirar+Fundo", covering more schools and regions.
