MASNA's 4th Annual Scientific Poster Session Recap
Each year, MASNA provides the opportunity for scientists in any field relating
to the marine aquarium hobby to showcase their research at the Marine Aquarium
Conference of North America (MACNA).
The goal of this MASNA program is to open a line of communication between
scientists, industry, and interested hobbyists, so that scientific research
crucial to the sustainability and advancement of the hobby is freely available
to all stakeholder groups. MASNA’s 4^thAnnual Scientific Poster Session was held
at MACNA 2019 in Orlando, Florida. Electronic versions of this year’s posters
will be posted, and can be viewed at
https://masna.org/masna-programs/masna-scientific-poster-session/?utm_source=Public+BOD+Email&utm_campaign=f29a0daa70-MASNA+4th+Scientific+Poster+Session_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_684126d033-f29a0daa70-457263653.
This year, MASNA recognized two exceptional student researchers at the
undergraduate and graduate level, for producing and effectively communicating
the best poster in each of their respective categories.
Our graduate poster session awardee is Sarah Hutchins. Sarah is a masters
student at the University of Florida’s Tropical Aquaculture Laboratory in
Ruskin, Florida. Sarah’s poster entitled “Optimizing Culture Parameters of the
Cyclopoid Copepod Oithona colcarva” addressed a critical aspect of marine
ornamental aquaculture-producing high quality live food items for larval fishes.
Our undergraduate poster session awardee is Lauren Block, a third year student
at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa. Her poster entitled “Coculture: A larval
rearing technique for clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) with the tropical
paracalenid copepod, Parvocalanus crassirostris” discussed the benefits of
growing larval marine fishes in tandem with copepods to provide a continuous
supply of nutritious live food items. Congratulations to Sarah (above, left) and
Lauren (above, right).
We would like to thank the authors and judges that participated in this year’s
poster session. Additionally, we thank this years poster session sponsors
EcoTech Marine, The Washington D.C. Area Marine Aquarist Society (WAMAS), and
the Colorado Organization for Reef and Aquatic Life (CORAL). We firmly believe
in the benefit of open communication, and encourage interested researchers,
students, and hobbyists to consider participating in future MASNA scientific
poster sessions.

For Public Release on October 16, 2019,
Tunze USA supports the Dr Junda Lin Memorial Fund for Publishing Open
Access Marine Aquarium Research.
https://www.tunze.com/US/en.html?utm_source=Public+BOD+Email&utm_campaign=02481ede98-Tunze+Funds+MASNA%27s+Open+Access+Memorial+Fund_COPY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_684126d033-02481ede98-457263653&mc_cid=02481ede98&mc_eid=[UNIQID]
MASNA would like to thank Tunze, the newest supporter of the Dr. Junda
Lin Open Access Memorial Fund for Publishing Open Access Marine Aquarium
Research, for their generous $2,500 contribution towards providing
industry, scientists, and hobbyists with freely available, open access
scientific research.
Tunze's support will allow MASNA to offset the publishing costs for
scientists and students that are working on research directly relevant
to the marine aquarium industry.
As the aquarium industry grows, this research can provide industry and
hobbyists alike with critical, up to date information about aquaculture
protocols, trends in marine ornamental trade, novel equipment design,
and a number of other relevant topics.

2017, MASNA introduced the Dr. Junda Lin Memorial Fund for Publishing
Open Access Marine Aquarium Research with the goal to off-set the cost
to students of publishing research as open access articles in order to
promote the spread of scientific ideas to not only scientists, but to
anyone who is interested in the research, by making it freely available.
Dr. Junda Lin was a Professor of Biological Sciences at the Florida
Institute of Technology and the Director of the Institute for Marine
Research (IMR). Dr. Lin’s Lab focused on the development of aquaculture
technology for marine ornamental species to offset and replace wild
collection. Dr. Lin’s lab studied the basic biological processes of
several shellfish and fish species, evaluated their aquaculture
potential, and developed cultivation technology.
Rather than in the traditional scientific publishing scheme, where the
reader of the scientific article incurs a cost to access the article,
with open access articles, the article is available to the world, and
the author is charged a fee when the article is accepted by the
publisher.
Therefore, the Dr. Junda Lin Memorial Fund for Publishing Open Access
Marine Aquarium Research is a fund supported by individuals, aquarium
clubs, businesses, and universities that provides students with a
financial offset to the costs of publishing a scientific article as an
open access article. More information on how to apply and the donation
link can be found HERE (http://masna.org/masna-programs/memorial-publishing-fund/?utm_source=Public+BOD+Email&utm_campaign=02481ede98-Tunze+Funds+MASNA%27s+Open+Access+Memorial+Fund_COPY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_684126d033-02481ede98-457263653&mc_cid=02481ede98&mc_eid=[UNIQID])
.
Scientific research has historically been published and distributed by
for-profit companies that require readers to pay to access content,
comprising a 19.6 billion dollar industry that results in
inaccessibility for most hobbyists. Research institutions have begun
terminating long-standing subscriptions to for-profit journals, and many
independent researchers have taken an active stance on information
dissemination by opting to publish in open-access formats.
MASNA fully supports open-access publishing, and firmly believes that
research relating to aquarium science should be available to anyone who
wishes to read it. For more details on recent open-access publishing
developments, see HERE
(https://www.theguardian.com/education/2019/mar/28/paywalls-block-scientific-progress-research-should-be-open-to-everyone?utm_source=Public+BOD+Email&utm_campaign=02481ede98-Tunze+Funds+MASNA%27s+Open+Access+Memorial+Fund_COPY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_684126d033-02481ede98-457263653&mc_cid=02481ede98&mc_eid=[UNIQID])
.
MASNA would like to thank the donors that have contributed to the Junda
Lin Memorial Fund thus far. Open-access publications allow the rapid
dissemination of research to the non-scientific public that would
otherwise not be able to access this information. The modern marine
sciences increasingly recognize the importance of informed hobbyists and
citizen scientists in data collection, volunteer work, and in their
ability to drive changes in public outlook and policy.
MASNA welcomes donations from any business, organization, or individual
who shares the belief that advancements in science should be freely
available to the general public, and those that support MASNA’s mission
to encourage the sustainability and ethical growth of the marine
aquarium industry through the education of its members and the wider
hobbyist community.

NERAC VIII

<Can't make it Nan; but will post your msg. on WWM. Bob Fenner>

RE: NERAC VIII (NorthEast Reef Aquarium Conference)
Saturday, March 22, 2014
Atlantis Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition
Center
About a month ago, the Long Island Reef Association (LIRA) which is
hosting the NERAC VIII conference sent you an email inviting your
company to join.
The email giving your company the opportunity to either purchase a booth
or if unable to attend, the ability to donate in order to be
listed both on the NERAC website (_www.neracviii.com_
(http://www.neracviii.com) ) and in the program guide.
Unfortunately we have not heard from you, either it may have been caught
by your spam filter (hence the duplicate that has been sent via a
standard email) or that you may have missed reading it.
As an event organizer I hope to encourage you to further think about
joining this great conference. In 2012 we had over 135 attendees
for the conference and 100 for the dinner. This year the
response has been overwhelming with anticipation of exceeding 150
people for the conference. Expected fish enthusiasts will be
coming from Boston, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Upstate New York.
If a booth is not your choice of advertisement, then think about
donating your product(s). These donations will be used for
the raffle event held on Saturday afternoon
A few companies responded in asking about an alternative to a product
since they wanted to make livestock available or the ability to offer an
upcoming product. Well, I suggested that a gift certificate
be made available,
which they concurred with excitement. In addition, some of these
companies
accompanied their donation along with a discount to all attendees of the
conference between 10-30% off product/livestock found on their website.
Time is running out. In order to acknowledge your company in our
program guide, we need to hear from you as soon as possible.
Please contact me at alwaysalady1955@aol.com_
(mailto:alwaysalady1955@aol.com) or (631)669-2550 with your
intentions or any questions you may have regarding this event.
Donations may be sent to Atlantis Long Island Aquarium, attention Joe
Yaiullo, 431 East Main Street, Riverhead, NY 11901 or to Nancy Weiss
1442 Manor Lane, Bay Shore, NY 11706.
On behalf of the event organizers and that of the association, I thank
you for taking the time to read this and for any donations that
are made.
