The training part of the project involved 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 was 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 were employed at SAMS. Secondly, the researcher brought her competence in hatchery work of aquatic species from China, and improved the spectrum and excellence of the aquaculture research at SAMS.
Incoming researcher's participation of research projects included, mainly:
1. Refinement of hatchery larval cultivation techniques of purple sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus Researcher was responsible for larval cultivation, and took 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 participated in research on harmful effects of the ASP toxin on king scallop, to find out if carrying this phytotoxin negatively affected scallops' gonad development, and if exposure to the ASP toxin has an adverse effect on scallop larvae."
