I am excited to announce I have been accepted to attend the Strategies and Techniques for Analyzing Microbial Population Structures (STAMPS) course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The content of this course will be critical in preparing me for the bioinformatic and data analysis phase of my research project. Attending this course would not have been possible without our Experiment.com funding!
Yellow tang are vital to Hawaii’s reef ecosystems, but wild populations have been drastically declining due to the aquarium trade. Aquaculture is a sustainable alternative to removing fish from the wild, but only a fraction of cultured yellow tang survive to adulthood. We suspect investigating the microbiome will provide key insights to this problem. Our goal is to increase the success of the Oceanic Institute's aquaculture program and reduce impact on wild yellow tang populations.
