Benedict A. Maralit MSc. a research assistant from the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute Genetic Fingerprinting Laboratory has won a travel award given by the College of Fisheries, Mangalore and Fish Health Section of Asian Fisheries Society to participate in the 8th Symposium on Diseases in Asian Aquaculture. The symposium was held at the College of Fisheries, Mangalore, India last November 21-25, 2011.
Different scientists from all over the world participated in the event. All participants presented their studies with the theme “Diseases in Asian Aquaculture”. “I was fascinated by the people I met during the symposium. A lot of interesting studies was presented during the event highlighting current trends in Aquaculture technology to achieve sustaining fisheries for the future. What is rather interesting in the 1 week visit is the chance to meet a lot of well established scientists that I could only meet in the studies I cite in my own manuscripts. I learned a lot from this experience as this the first time I went to an international symposium. Although our country remains quite stable in its current production, we are a little left behind with current applications of Biotechnology for increasing productivity, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Some of the highlights in the presentations are Reviews in Aquaculture, Trends in Diagnostics and Metabolomics ” said Benedict. He also presented his study during the symposium entitled “Sustaining Shrimp Culture in the Philippines through Molecular Application”. Overall, Benedict enjoyed the said symposium and hopes to attend the next symposium in Vietnam.
