In order to further promote the exchange and sharing of scientific research dynamics between different disciplines and teams, and activate the atmosphere of academic exchanges, on March 27, Zhejiang Freshwater Fisheries Research Institute held the first phase of the 2024 Youth Academic Salon and Scientific Research Dynamic Exchange and Sharing Meeting. The academic salon was presided over by Zhang Haiqi, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Institute, and more than 30 scientific and technological personnel from the Giant River Prawn Genetic and Breeding Innovation Team, the Famous Aquatic Animal Genetic and Breeding Innovation Team, and the Aquatic Disease Green Prevention and Control Innovation Team participated in the event.
Two young scientists and technicians from the Institute of Freshwater Fisheries made academic reports entitled “Application of CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing Technology in Aquatic Animals” and “Application Progress and Frontier Technology Exploration of Gene Modification Technology in the Field of Aquatic Organisms”, focusing on the application of gene modification technology in aquatic products, the research progress of genetic improvement of intermuscular spines of Cockroach spp., the research strategies and cutting-edge technologies of genetic modification of aquatic organisms, etc., and shared the scientific research progress and phased results achieved in the on-site exchange atmosphere. The participants had lively questions and discussions on the content of the report. Zhang Haiqi said that the youth academic salon is an important measure to actively promote scientific research innovation and promote academic exchanges, which plays a positive role in stimulating the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel for scientific research and improving scientific research capabilities.
