1.The new PESCALEX Language game is to change its format from Interactive Board Game, to Simulation Game. This will have a familiar context yet innovative format, of interest to those who have already participated in Simulation Games run by AQUATT for students (e.g., Ithaca in Glasgow). The overall aim is to demonstrate how to obtain an accurate and reliable record of disease events. Video and still materials are to be used, with visual signs of disease to be observed from video clips to aid speedy and accurate reporting of symptoms. Other

Bactocell therefore becomes the first probiotic authorized for such use in aquaculture in the European Union. More information can be found at www.lallemandanimalnutrition.com Studies show effects of acidification on marine ecosystems The future of several key marine organisms is severely threatened by the increasing acidification of oceans. Two partly EU-funded studies now published in the open access journal Biogeosciences lend emphasis to previous warnings from scientists worldwide concerning this secondary effect of excessive carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.To read more click here.
