The International Marine Shrimp Environment Genomics Initiative (IMSEGI) of the Aquaculture America 2013 (www.was.org) in Nashville, Tennesse, USA was the latest venue for presentation of GFL research. Doc mudjie presented 2 papers entitled, APPLICATIONS OF DNA BARCODING TO FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES and TRANSCRIPTOME PROFILE OF THE GILLS OF TIGER SHRIMP Penaeus monodon THAT SURVIVED WSSV CHALLENGE in the Nashville Convention Center during the 5 day symposium. A number of networks have been established. For instance, Dr. Acacia Alcivar-Warren of FUCOBI, Ecuador and Dr. Malony Sellars of CSIRO, Australia both indicated their interest in doing collaborative projects with the Philippines in the near future. The conference also generated numerous interests in DNA barcoding of aquatic species that is being done in the Philippines. Overall, goodwill created with other countries as well as new things learned can be applied and implemented to further improve our research and development activities. This is very important in light of addressing food security issues in the country.

Ivane, GFL's foster daughter, left the lab in 2012 as she finished her Master's thesis. With her departure, the GFL team has lost yet another young researcher with great potential. However, pride has taken over as young scientists of GFL continue to prosper after they leave the lab. This is to certify that Ms. Ivane R. Pedrosa-Gerasmio of the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, is a recipient of the 2012 International Publication Award for the article entitled “Discrimination of Juvenile Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) and Bigeye (T. obesus) Tunas using Mitochondrial DNA Control Region and Liver Morphology” in the journal PLoS ONE 7(4): e35604. |
