It has obtained some effects on the personnel co-cultivation and cooperation with Hong Kong and UK. (1) Regional symposium l In Nov. 6-10 2000, MBRS and Open University of Hong Kong co-sponsored the regional symposium on Prevention and Management of Harmful Algal Blooms in the South China Sea. More than 80 person attended this symposium , 6 famous scientists were invited to present major report. Attendee came from China, USA, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, China Hong Kong and China Taiwan. Proceedings to Regional Symposium on Prevention and Management of Harmful Algal Blooms in the South China Sea have been published. l In April 3-7 1993, MBRS fronted for the second regional symposium on the Marine Biology of the South China Sea. More than 100 people from China, England, USA, China Hong Kong and China Taiwan attended this symposium. Proceedings to Regional Symposium on the Marine Biology of the South China Sea have been published. (2) International visiting scholar There have been 25 international scholars having visited MBRS since 1993. These scholars, including B. Morton, R. Seed, D. Kester, F. Andersen, K. C. Ho, J. Hodgkiss, Wang Wenxiong, etc, discussed their interested scientific problems and presented academic lectures. Recently, the scholars visited MBRS are listed as follows: l Professor Jawkai Wang, the founder and ex-director of Biology system engineering Department of Hawaii University of USA, and academician of State Engineering Academy of USA, visited MBRS on April 13 2002. l Dr. Standish K. Allen, a famous shellfish heredity breeding scientist of USA, and Dr. Kevin G. Sellen visited MBRS on May 7 2002. They came here to find out the disease research of Jinjiang Oyster which is an important shellfish cultivated in China. l Dr. Grey A. Williams, Dr. Meiyee and Dr. Benny Kwokkan Chan from the Swire Institute of Marine Science, ecology and biodiversity department of Hong Kong University visited MBRS. l Professor Wang Jianping from Chengong University of Taiwan visited MBRS with the company of professor Chen Xiangling from Normal University of South China . (3) Domestic senior visiting scholar From 1996 to 2001, there has been 2 domestic senior visiting scholars came to MBRS and have finished research task on the ecosystem of Daya Bay. 26 papers and proceedings on the synthesis studies of Daya Bay ecosystem have been published. (4) Cooperation research project Prof. Wang Zhaoding, Dr. Lian Jiansheng co-applied a research item with Dr. K. C. Ho and Dr. Gordon Maxwell of Open University of Hong Kong. The title of this research is: A comparative study on eutrophication and algal management at Daya Bay and Tolo Harbour, with implications on sustainable development of coastal waters in the south China region. The study time is from March 2001 to February 2003, and the study funds is HK$200,000. (5) MBRS research personnel going abroad MBRS has been developing the scientific communion and cooperation plan, especially with Hong Kong and UK. Intercommunion and cooperation relationship has been built among MBRS, the Swire Institute of Marine Science of Hong Kong University and the University of Welsh (UK). Up to now 10 staff of MBRS has been sent to Hong Kong and UK by MBRS to make a 3-month visiting research. At the same time, 4 scholars have been sent to USA to make a 6-month training according to the training plan of CERN. 15 people - time have gone to USA, UK, Japan, Indonesia, and Hong Kong to attend international conferences.
