  1. INCO-project Artemia biodiversity: current global resources and their sustainable exploitation project number ICA4-CT-2001-10020 project period 01/01/02-31/12/04 Concerted Action-type project funded by the European Commission, Directorate General forResearch

  2. Objectives Global concerted Artemiastudy technical intercalibration, integration of current ecological and evolutionary concepts uniformous methods to assess population dynamics issuing guidelines on sustainable exploitation and strain introduction: = tools for authorities to protect biodiversity and to avert overexploitation and extinction of strains

  3. Consortium 15 universities and governmental research institutes coordinator: Laboratory of Aquaculture & Artemia Reference Center, Ghent Univ., Belgium ( ) EU Asia Africa Latin America

  4. Consortium Informal cooperation with universities/institutes in other countries Russia Canada Central Asian republics USA

  7. Consortium activities • Workshops: • Ghent global workshop, Belgium,  February 2002 • Beijing regional workshop, PR China, 2002 : • Artemia resources of China (coastal and inland); threats for local populations by introduction of foreign species; initial evaluation of study visits; • 3. Osorno regional workshop, Chile,  2003 : • Artemia resources of Latin America; genetics and speciation; intermediate evaluation of study visits; • 4. Urmia regional workshop, Iran, 2004 : • Artemia resources of Central Asia; sustainable exploitation; final evaluation of study visits; final evaluation of all workshops • Study stays by visiting scientists from non-EU member institutes to: • Belgium • Spain • Greece
