Consolidating existing collaborations in the field of aquaculture education and training as well as enhancing new collaboration through numerous activities is a key objective. EURASTiP firstly carried out a survey to identify existing aquaculture education networks and their activities, to gain a greater insight into past and current collaboration. Based on the outcomes, an alignment workshop brought together champions of major aquaculture education networks from both regions to exchange best practice in relation to aquaculture training provision and identify key themes that were subsequently discussed at three capacity building workshops. The workshops focused on: 1) Promoting Innovative Teaching through Collaboration in the International Aquaculture Sector; 2) Ensuring Education is Responding to Industry Needs; 3) Mobility. EURASTiP has also supported an exchange programme for aquaculture educators to maximise collaboration and strategic partnerships, through which thirteen Educator exchange visits have been supported. New, innovative training materials for aquaculture educators have been developed as well, for different types of training provision. These are available as Open Educational Resources (Pounds & Bostock 2019a&b). Also, a Best Practice Case Study Report has been developed to help with overall capacity building, including successful examples of collaborative education and training between Asia and Europe (Bostock 2019). This also includes a summary of issues to be considered when developing educational collaborations and student mobility, especially concerning recognition of academic qualifications and credits. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement no 728030 (EURASTiP). This output reflects the views of the author(s).

David Bassetta* aEURASTIP Project Manager, European Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (EATiP), Liège, Belgium *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The European Asian Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (EURASTiP) is a three year support action, funded through the EU Horizon 2020 programme, and coordinated by the University of Ghent and European Aquaculture Technology and Innovation Platform (EATiP). EURASTiP is working towards a structured basis for multi-stakeholder dialogue in the aquaculture community between south east Asia and the EU. The EU experience proves that achievement of such multiple development objectives is best facilitated through a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder approach. The European Union has many successful examples, notably with the European Technology Platforms, where professionals, researchers, administrators and NGOs work together, providing a bottom-up approach to issue identification, needs and research prioritisation and problem-solving. A prerequisite for achieving successful cooperation between Europe and south east Asia is therefore to provide the necessary structural support to allow for constructive and pro-active dialogue between the industry and relevant stakeholders at both the national and international levels. This session aims to introduce this working methodology, consider the opportunities for concrete interaction that have taken place between south east Asian and European stakeholders, including funded exchange opportunities and brokerage activity and consider the future roadmap for se-Asian / European

  • Fatihah S. N., Julin H. T., Chen C. A., 2017 Survival, Growth, and Molting Frequency of Mud Crab Scylla Tranquebarica Juveniles at Different Shelter Conditions
    Survival, growth, and molting frequency of mud crab Scylla tranquebarica juveniles at different shelter conditions Siti N. Fatihah, Heather T. Julin, Cheng A. Chen Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Jalan UMS 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Corresponding author: S. N. Fatihah, [email protected] Abstract. This study assessed the effect of different shelters on survival, specific growth rates and molting frequency in mud crab juvenile, Scylla tranquebarica for the enhancement in aquaculture production purposes. Mud crab juveniles with initial weight ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 g and initial carapace width ranging from 1.2 to 1.4 cm were chosen and placed in tanks of 135 liter volume capacity filled with 80 liter of water. There were 18 juveniles with triplicates for each treatment. Four treatments were introduced: treatment 1 (control - without shelter), treatment 2 (black net shelter), treatment 3 (green net shelter) and treatment 4 (sand substrate shelter). The study was done in triplicate and conducted for 50 days. Mud crab juveniles reared in treatment 4 showed significantly higher survival (59.26±2.62%) compared to other treatments. Besides, mud crab juveniles cultured in treatment 2 had the highest molting frequency. As a conclusion, the usage of black mesh net in the treatment 2 rearing increased the molting rate of mud crab juveniles, while higher survival rate was recorded in the treatment 4. As a recommendation, the effect of different substrate, shelters and material used can be done for further study. The finding from the present study can be applied in other mud crab or crustaceans.

Roberts, DVM *, Stephen A. Smith, DVM, PhD KEYWORDS Pet fish Ornamental fish Branchitis Gill Wet mount cytology Hypoxia Respiratory disorders Pathology Living in an aquatic environment where oxygen is in less supply and harder to extract than in a terrestrial one, fish have developed a respiratory system that is much more efficient than terrestrial vertebrates. The gills of fish are a unique organ system and serve several functions including respiration, osmoregulation, excretion of nitroge- nous wastes, and acid-base regulation.1 The gills are the primary site of oxygen exchange in fish and are in intimate contact with the aquatic environment. In most cases, the separation between the water and the tissues of the fish is only a few cell layers thick. Gills are a common target for assault by infectious and noninfectious disease processes.2 Nonlethal diagnostic biopsy of the gills can identify pathologic changes, provide samples for bacterial culture/identification/sensitivity testing, aid in fungal element identification, provide samples for viral testing, and provide parasitic organisms for identification.3–6 This diagnostic test is so important that it should be included as part of every diagnostic workup performed on a fish.

This study was conducted to determine the appro- priate density of sea grape (Caulerpa lentillifera) in polyculture with whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in the same culture tank. Five treatments were randomly designed in triplicate tanks where shrimp was monocultured (without sea grape) as a control treatment and four polyculture treatments with different seaweed density levels (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 kg m−3) for 56 days. The results showed that polyculture of shrimp and sea grape significantly reduced the concentrations of total − − 3− ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite (NO2 ), nitrate (NO3 ), and phosphate (PO4 ) in the rearing tanks and significantly improved (p < 0.05) the growth rate (6.67–6.76% day−1), survival (73.3–78.5%), Citation: Ly, K.V.; Murungu, D.K.; and production of shrimp (3.44–3.87 kg m−3) compared to monoculture (6.24% day−1, 54.8%, and Nguyen, D.P.; Nguyen, N.A.T.

The family has 12 radiated over Asia. For some species their range is limited to single catchments; they provide an ex- 13 cellent example of biogeographical speciation on multiple scales. Hill stream loaches have a range of 14 adaptations which help them exploit environments where competitors and predators would be 15 washed away. They have streamlined bodies and keeled scales reminiscent of Mako sharks and po- 16 tentially many other as yet undiscovered drag reducing features. They adhere to rocks, crawl over 17 shallow films of water, glide over hard surfaces using ground effects and launch into currents to at- 18 tack prey or evade predation. They offer a test of modern approaches to organismal biology and a 19 broad range of biomimetic potential. In this paper we analyse what behaviour is associated with 20 their physical adaptations and how this might relate to their evolution and radiation.
