Nyhedsbrev april 2017

Nyt prøveprojekt ved Fødevarestyrelsen vil undersøge 100 prøver af tang for mikrobiologisk aktivitet.

Kære Tangnetværksmedlemmer,

Så er det nu vi er stærke som netværk og kan hjælpe med at indsamle 100 tangprøver landsdækkende til at få undersøgt mikrbiologien i tang.

Der kommer prøver ind fra fiskeauktionerne, fra tang forhandlere mv. og bliver analyseret for mikrobiologi, men det er også vigtigt at I hjælper til med prøver. Prøverne skal være friske og det skal koordineres med Fødevarestyrelsen.

I vil selvfølgelig få resultaterne fra jeres prøver at vide.

Ydermere vil resten af prøverne fryses ned og senere kunne bruges til mineral og tungmetalanalyse ved DTU Fødevareinstituttet.

Vi håber at I vil hjælpe.

Aftal nærmere ved at kontakte Helle Eriksen og Niels Jensen fra Fødevarestyrelsen her.

Following the success of our 2015 and 2016 events, we are very excited to announce the upcoming 2017 GlobalSeaweed Workshop!

We will host you on the week of the 8^th – 12^th of May 2017 at SAMS in Oban, Scotland. Attendance on this course is limited and we already received several pre-bookings so book early!  Places will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis.

Our third edition will beef-up the program of our two previous workshops and explore the potential and challenges of seaweed cultivation. This 5 days event will blend lectures by experts, interactive round tables, field and laboratory sessions. To explore the genetic, conservation and policy challenges posed by rapid seaweed domestication, this 2017 edition will feature a worldwide selection of leading scientists in the fields of Seaweed Genomics, Breeding, Pathology, Ecology and much more!
