Objective
This project will be carried out at SAMS, - Scottish Association of Marine Science, Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory, Oban, Argyll, UK, from January 2004 to December 2004. The training part of the project will involve two aspects: study on intensive larval culture of the sea urchin. Paracentrotus lividus, and study on the impact of Amnesic Shellfish Poison (ASP) on king scallops reproductive physiology. Firstly, the training aspect is designed to familiarize the researcher with state-of-the-art instruments and methodology on sea urchin aquaculture research and Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) studies that are being employed at SAMS. Secondly, the researcher will bring her competence in hatchery work of aquatic species from China, and improve the spectrum and excellence of the aquaculture research that is going on at SAMS. Incoming researcher's participation of research projects will include, mainly:
1. Refinement of hatchery larval cultivation techniques of purple sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus. Researcher will be responsible for larval cultivation, and will take part in the experiments on optimizing feed and environmental conditions for larval rearing.
2. HAB study: influence of algal toxin on King Scallop, Pecten maximus. Researcher will participate in research on harmful effects of the ASP toxin on king scallop, to find out if carrying this phytotoxin will negatively affect scallops' gonad development, and if exposure to the ASP toxin has an adverse effect on scallop larvae. The incoming researcher will develop new, cutting-edge skills through this project, and will win better career prospects upon her return to China. Besides these, the opportunity of working in another country will raise the international profile of her career, and will enable her to participate in more joint programs in the future.
