Abstract

Several marine living beings have unknown substances that can be used in many areas of science. Biotechnology, more specifically marine biotechnology, is an emerging field with promising achievements in different areas (biochemistry, genetics, genomics, aquaculture, bioenergy, among others), as it plays an important role in the discovery and sustainable use of these substances. In this context, the present study aimed to validate a Web Scraping search algorithm developed by Menezes (2019) to search, based on the literature, benthic marine species from the rocky shores of Arraial do Cabo with relevant biotechnological potential in areas of application of marine biotechnology. According to the algorithm, of the 922 species that were best ranked for presenting the largest number of works and that stood out in relation to their biotechnological potential were: Rachycentron canadum (Fish), Amphibalanus amphitrite (Crustaceous), Ulva fasciata (Macroalgae), Asparagopsis taxiformis (Macroalgae), Bugula neritina (Bryozoan), and Palythoa caribaeorum (Cnidarian). Of the evaluated and selected works (n=257), the groups Macroalgae, Cnidarians, Poriferans, and Echinoderms, presented a greater variety of biotechnological potential, respectively. Regarding the classification of biotechnological potential, Biogenetics, Natural Products for Medicine, and Aquaculture were the most studied areas of marine biotechnology. The results showed that the methodology used reduced the time of the bibliographic search linked to the biotechnology of each species listed in the catalog, proving to be useful in data from places of great biodiversity and little knowledge about the species.
