Note from
the coordinator
Dear Readers,
Here is the 12th
edition of the Bulletin which has been issued more quickly than
usual as enough information had been received to advance its
publication date.
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all those who have already contributed
to the Bulletin and ask that you take an active role in its
improvement, as many of you have already indicated that the
Bulletin is useful for you.
The presentation is still
by section, i.e. 1) New Information, 2) Correspondence, 3) Publications.
Do you find this satisfactory?
• Which section should
be given more space?
• In the ÔNew InformationÕ
section, how do you find the parts on 'In situ spawning observations'
and 'Observations of asexual reproduction through fission '?
Your contributions on these topics are important; would you
have any related submission that could be included in the next
issue?
• The column ‘Aquacultural
information’ has been continued thanks to the collaboration
of S. Battaglene from ICLARM. Do you find it useful?
• Are there any other
new parts that you would like to see included?
Your suggestions and comments
are both useful and necessary for the Bulletin’s development.
Bulletin no. 12 includes
an original article about international markets. An important
conference took place in Malaysia. Many different aspects of
the biology of marketable species and genetics, a new area,
are also discussed.
The next International Echinoderm
Conference will be held in New Zealand at the beginning of the
year 2000. Its site is http://macintosh.otago.ac.nz/iec2000
The Echinoderms Newsletter
is now also available on the Web at http://www.nmnh.si.edu/iz/echinoderm
