Doc Mudjie attended and presented a poster entitled "FishCodes: DNA barcoding commercially important and regulates Philippine aquatic species for management and conservation" at the Fourth International Barcode of Life Conference in Adelaide, Australia on November 28 to December 4, 2011. The poster represents the majority of results of the different genetic projects being conducted at GFL. For more information, visit www.dnabarcodes2011.com.
The registration, accommodation and travel costs of Doc Mudjie was supported by the AusAID International Seminar Support Scheme.

Last October 27, 2011 OIC of Marine Fisheries Research Division and Genetic Fingerprinting Laboratory (MFRD-GFL) Dr. Mudjekeewis D. Santos and Research Assistant Billy Joel Catacutan attended a Fisheries Research and Development In-House Review on the Taxonomic Identification of Ludong caught in Cagayan River at Tuguegarao City, Philippines.
The team presented initial results for on-going Ludong project at National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. Different project proposals and on-going projects for R&D in-house review was also conducted. After the presentation the team attended a meeting on OPLAN SAGIP LUDONG with BFAR Region 2 Director, LGU’s, SUC’s and different Project leaders. The teams report on initial results was commended by the regional director and other panels and project leaders who attended the said seminar. Yet again, the members of GFL showed great research prowess as it claimed the top spot in the recently held 11th National Symposium in Marine Science of the Philippine Association of Marine Science research poster competition at Development Academy of the Philippines in Tagaytay City. The event culminated in an awarding ceremony last October 20, 2011.
Out of 6 competing posters, Rey Thomas, with co-authors Mudjekeewis Santos and Demian Willette, brought home a total of 5,000 pesos cash prize for their study, “Phylogeography of the Goldstripe sardinella, Sardinella gibbosa, and the Bali sardinella, Sardinella lemuru, in the Philippine Archipelago”. Other phylogenetic studies on Sardinella sp. which is considered as one of the most important fish commodity here in the Philippines, are currently on-going. The study entitled “Detection of Mislabeled Commercial Fishery By-Products in the Philippines Using DNA Barcodes" of Genetic Fingerprinting Lab won Silver award in the recently held research and development competition organized by Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Agricultural Research (DA-BAR). The national research symposium was held last October 10 and 11 at the DA-BAR Building, which culminated on the 2nd day at the Manila Hotel.
Five teams belonging to different Institutions were considered in the Applied Research in Fisheries Category. Among the studies presented by these teams, our very own Mudjekeewis D. Santos, Benedict A. Maralit, Roselyn D. Aguila Minerva, Fatimae H. Ventolero and Sweedy Kay L. Perez won the silver award and brought home 75,000 pesos in cash and a research study grant of one million pesos. No research study in the Fisheries Category won the first prize. Other studies under NFRDI also won places in other categories. link out: http://www.bar.gov.ph/photo/2011NRS_awarding.asp |
