Eighteenth International Seaweed Symposium

Advances in Applied Phycology 1

Series Editor:Michael A. Borowitzka

School of Biological Sciences & BiotechnologyMurdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia

Aims and Scope

Applied Phycology, the practical use of algae, encompasses a diverse range of fields including algal culture andseaweed farming, the use of algae to produce commercial products such as hydrocolloids, carotenoids and pharma-ceuticals, algae as biofertilizers and soil conditioners, the application of algae in wastewater treatment, renewableenergy production, algae as environmental indicators, environmental bioremediation and the management of algalblooms. The commercial production of seaweeds and microalgae and products derived therefrom is a large and wellestablished industry and new algal species, products and processes are being continuously developed.

The aim of this book series, Advances in Applied Phycology, is to present state-of-the-art syntheses of research anddevelopment in the field. Volumes of the series will consist of reference books, subject-specific monographs, peerreviewed contributions from conferences, comprehensive evaluations of large-scale projects, and other book-lengthcontributions to the science and practice of applied phycology.

Opening Address by Professor Juan Correa (Monday, June 21, 2004)

Professor Correa took great pleasure in declaring the XVIIIth International Seaweed Symposium meeting open.A hearty welcome was given to all presenters and participants. Professor Correa thanked all those responsible formaking this meeting possible in Bergen and in particular Harris “Pete” Bixler, the ISS President-Elect and EuricoOliveira, the Secretary, for the tremendous time and effort they had given to the business of the International SeaweedAssociation and in particular help with the logistics for the meeting in Bergen. There was a very good scientific andsocial programme ahead and he looked forward eagerly to all oral and poster presentations. The podium was thenpassed to John Rasmussen (President) and Pierre Kirsch (Secretary) to make the prestigious Marinalg InternationalAwards.

Marinalg International Awards

Awards for presentations made at the XVIIth International Seaweed Symposium held in Cape Town, South Africa,in January 2001 and honoured at the XVIIIth International Seaweed Symposium held in Bergen, Norway, in June2004.

Good morning. My name is John Rasmussen and I have the pleasure of representing Marinalg International, aworld Association of Seaweed Processors dedicated to production and sales of ingredients for food, pharmaceutical,medical, cosmetic and feed applications.

I am proud to join this International Seaweed Symposium and I am proud to be in Norway. Norway has a longtradition in the Seaweed Industry and the Norwegian universities and Institutes have contributed with a big amountof valuable R&D work. When I was introduced to the seaweed industry 36 years ago some of the first articles Iwas asked to read to be introduced to carrageenan structure and functionalities were written by scientists from theUniversity of Trondheim.

Within the seaweed world the International Seaweed Symposium, held every 3 years, is a great event which attractspeople from all parts interested in Seaweed. Indeed the ISS is covering basic research on algae as well as work onthe functionalities of the ingredients produced from seaweeds. Scientists, university and academic experts, R&Dpeople from the industries using seaweed as raw materials and even people from the business and regulatory sideof the industry are attracted.

Why?

Simply because the International Seaweed Symposium presents the latest developments on all aspects from micro-to macroalgae. Furthermore this event creates a fantastic environment for creating new contacts and relationshipsacross the different areas of seaweed interests.

Marinalg International is a world-wide association founded in 1976 and which counts members from all continents– members who are producing agar, alginates and carrageenan both refined and semi-refined, all produced fromseaweeds.

The members of Marinalg International appreciate very much the work done in universities and institutes aroundthe world and have through many years sponsored the International Seaweed Symposium by contributing to thepublication of the proceedings presented during the symposium and we are doing this also this year. However,Marinalg International also has a long tradition for awarding some of the presentations made at the previoussymposium which today mean presentations from the 17th International Seaweed Symposium held in Cape Town2001.

How do we select the winning papers. I can share with you – it is a very difficult job to make the choice among somany great presentations on a variety of titles. Our R&D people put forth a determined effort to judge papers as

XIII

fairly as we can. The papers presented at the symposium are evaluated only after their publication. Each membercompany of Marinalg International is given the task of independently to select the papers to award one presentationwithin each of the areas Agar, Alginate and Carrageenan. The results of their evaluations are forwarded to theMarinalg International headquarter and the summary ands conclusions of the evaluations are drawn neutrally bythe General Secretary of the Association.”

Now, let us move to the winners from the 17th International Seaweed Symposium.

AGAR:Th. Givernaud, A Mouradi, A Hassani, R Akallal and J Riyahi (Morocco)“Design of a new technique for the reseeding of over-harvested beds of Gelidium sesquipedale (Turn.) Thuret(Rhodophyta, Gelidiales) in Morocco”

ALGINATE:∅ Skaugrud and M Dornish (Norway)“Biostructures of ultra-pure alginate for tissue engineering, directed drug delivery and cell encapsulation applica-tions.”

We are grateful to all of them. We also give our thanks to the International Seaweed Association Council – ISACfor their efforts.

I will call upon Kari Holmedal to the stage please! Here is the lady chasing you through the world for money.

Now I call upon the chairpersons for the awards committees for the presentations of the University of BritishColumbia, Best Student Presentation and the Japan Seaweed Association, Best Poster Award (Professors Bolton,Wallentinus, Aruga and Ohno).

Finally we call upon Professors Aruga and Ohno the organisers of the XIXth International Seaweed Symposium,Kobe, Japan, March 26–31, 2007. Theme: SEAWEEDS: Science and Technology for Traditional and ModernUtilisation.

New President’s Closing Remarks – Incoming President of the International Seaweed Association:Harris “Pete” Bixler.

First of all let me bring the members up to date on matters of your governing council that provides continuitybetween symposia. It is with regret that our by-laws require that we loose Marianne Pedersen who has given us wisecouncil for more years than she would probably like me to mention. I cannot leave reference to Marianne withoutadding my personal thanks for her beautiful dedication to Adelaida Semesi on Monday. Tor Bokn will all be goingoff the council since he was filling the unexpired term of Peter Gacesa. However, I am sure we will still be hearingfrom him at future symposia. Let us give our hands to Marianne and Tor for their years of service.

Replacing these councillors will be Rob Anderson from Marine and Coastal Management, South Africa, ThierryChopin of the University of New Brunswick, Canada and Rhodora Azanza of the University of the Philippines atDiliman.

It is also my pleasure to thank Tor Bokn and his National Organising Committee for an excellent symposium. Wewere all impressed with the organisation of the Programme Book and the posters. It was easy to navigate form onesession of interest to another. I understand we have Kurt Draget to thank for that and as Treasurer of ISA I have awarm spot in my heart for Arild Steinnes who stood as Treasurer of the LOC. Yes, Bergen was expensive but it isa beautiful city that we have all had a chance to enjoy through the imaginative outside and accompanying personsevents or through our individual resources. Thanks Tor and Committee....and by the way, I think it was a stroke ofgreatly deserved national pride when you included pieces by Grieg in the Opening Ceremonies.

Concluding ISA matters I would like to acknowledge the new President-elect of ISA who will follow me as Presidentafter the ISS XIX in March, 2007. Thierry Chopin was elected unanimously to this post on Sunday. It is a greatpleasure for me to have Thierry in this position since we are only a few hours apart by car which should facilitategood exchange of ideas for building ISA in the seaweed science community. Congratulations Thierry.

We now move on to the XIXth International Seaweed Symposium. It is my pleasure to inform the members ofthe International Seaweed Association that the XIXth ISS will be held March 26–31, 2007 in Kobe, Japan. Theco-chairs of the LOC, Professor Yusho Aruga and Professor Masao Ohno, are here with us and Professor Ohno, aloyal and long time Council member of ISA, will give a brief introduction to ISS XIX. I should also point out that

XVI

Professor Aruga is now President of the prestigious Japan Seaweed Association. I can assure you that the cost ofaccommodations and meals will be less than here in Bergen making it easier for students to attend. There will bean exhibition of seaweed products in the Kobe Convention Centre running in parallel with ISS XIX. The exhibitionwill be open to all ISS XIX attendees and will be an interesting complement to our Technical Program.

And now, unless Eurico Oliveira, our very efficient Secretary, stops me short because I have neglected someimportant closing duty I declare the XVIIIth ISS adjourned!

XVIIIth International Seaweed Symposium, Bergen, Norway, June 21, 2004

In memory of Professor Adelaida Kleti Semesi, University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Dear Friends and colleagues,

Professor Adelaida Semesi, Tanzania, a member of our executive council, passed away on February 6th 2001.She was an outstanding scholar in marine sciences. She pioneered research on seaweeds and seaweed farming inTanzania. Mama Semesi, which she also was called, was a great botanist who also was trained in microbiology.She worked at the University of Dar es Salaam for over twenty years and became the Head of the Department ofBotany and Associate Dean of the Faculty.

From the year 1996–2000 Adelaida Semesi worked as a professor at the Centre for International Environmentand Development Studies, here in Norway at the Agricultural University at As teaching in tropical ecology. In 2000she became the Director of the Marine Science Institute in Zanzibar, University of Dar es Salaam.

She worked as a scientist in various international laboratories, including the University of South Florida in Tampa,USA, the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands and the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. She was a councilmember of many associations like the International Society of Mangrove Ecosystems and the Western Indian OceanMarine Science Association (Wiomsa). A fund, the Professor Adelaida Kleti Semesi Memorial Trust Fund, hasbeen launched in her memory.

I met Adelaida Semesi for the first time in 1988 when we wrote an application to Sida/Sarec, Sweden for aresearch programme in marine sciences between Tanzania and Sweden. This marine science programme has nowbeen running successfully for more than ten years with many PhD students from both Tanzania and Sweden.

Adelaida was a very warm friend and an enthusiastic scientist. She was very quick in writing manuscripts andapplications. I remember when she told me that in the morning she had to get up early to go out and cut grass for herseven cows before she went to the university. I do not think I would have managed that. When she started to studythe structures of carrageenans in red algae as a PhD she visited many laboratories abroad to learn the analyticalprocedures e.g. the Unilever Research Company in UK.

I once asked her how she had managed, as a woman in Africa with four children, to become the Head of theDepartment of Botany at the University of Dar es Salaam. Her modest answer to me was that she had a veryunderstanding husband and a supportive family.

Adelaida gave us many happy moments with good laughter. We shared a room at the Seaweed Symposium inValdivia. I became very ill with a stomach infection and she offered me all sorts of cures, for example bananas.She was such an adorable person and full of energy and smiles all the time. It is just unbelievable that she is notwith us any more. Today we will remember her as the loveable person she was. She had so many ideas for how toimprove the world. We will always remember her for her contributions to marine science development in Tanzaniaand the Western Indian Ocean. It is a great loss for Science, for Africa and for us. In the executive council of theInternational Seaweed Association she raised many questions and came up with many new ideas. We miss a greatfriend and a fantastic person. May you rest in peace Adelaida and thanks for all.
