Abstract
(Englisch)
|
Objectives:
to promote collaboration among laboratories that are active in research on population genetics of brown trout (Salmo frutta) to co-ordinate this research and when convenient harmonise the use of genetic markers
to bring together complementary expertise from all parts of the EU and other countries
to review and evaluate the status of the research with a focus on conservation/management of genetic resources of the species and the potential of the species for aquaculture.
to compile overviews of relevant literature, available genetic markers and data from published and unpublished studies.
Achievements:
The European Commission has accepted the consolidated final report for the CA in March 2000. It contains a detailed report on the achievements regarding the above listed objectives and was made available as pdf file on the internet (http://www.dfu.min.dk/ffi/consreport/index.htm).
The second workshop of the CA took place 28 June - 4 July in St. Feliu de Guixols, Spain, which four members of our research group attended. Prof. Carles Pla and Dr. Jose-Luis Garcia-Marin, University of Girona hosted the meeting. The meeting contained some discussion sessions where the development and future of the CA was discussed; here we actively participated in presenting the preliminary draft of a Conservation report (see below). However, most of the meeting was devoted to scientific sessions. During and after the meeting we participated in a harmonization and calibration of allozyme allele nomenclature. The information has been compiled and is now accessible on the Troutconcert homepage (http://wwwparent.qub.ac.uk/bb/prodohl/TroutConcert/TroutConcert.htm).
Our main activities in 1999 within the framework of the CA concerned the participation in writing a report on conservation and management of genetic resources in brown trout. We organized a first meeting for a group of participants, the 'Conservation Group', at the Zoological Institute of the University of Berne (24-27 February 1999). The outline of the report was discussed and planned and the first sections were written during the meeting. Dr. Linda Laikre (Stockholm University) agreed to edit the report. A preliminary draft of the report was distributed to TROUTCONCERT participants in June 1999 and discussed at the workshop in St. Feliu, Spain, in July 1999. The 'Conservation Group' met 3-7 November 1999 at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (hosted by Prof. Costas Triantaphyllidis and Dr. Apostolos Apostolidis), to finalize the report. Immediately after the meeting the draft report was distributed to a number of fisheries managers in different European countries for review. After having received their input and suggestions for alterations the report was printed by a publishing firm in December 1999. Also, the report titled 'Conservation Genetic Management of Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) in Europe was made available on the internet in an on-line version and as pdf file(http://www.dfu.min.dk/ffi/consreport/index.htm).
