The time of enticing mermaids carrying away sailors into the ocean’s depths with their singing has ended.
Along with mentalities and superstitions, these mythological characters have evolved too. Mermaids have become the symbol of aquatic life and genetic mutation.
Artist and scientist are both looking for new “form of life”.
By this work, I wanted to express aquaculture through mermaids.
From the DNA helix is born the fusion of aquaculture and genetics. This woman and this man are in complete symbio sis, tending together to the top, the new, and the best.
The XV International Symposium on Genetics in Aquaculture (ISGA XV) is the world’s leading event dedicated to genetics and genomics in aquaculture. This prestigious symposium gathers the most recent knowledge, the forefront of scientific research and cutting-edge genomic technologies through oral presentations, poster sessions, and technical activities related to local practices in aquaculture. The symposium facilitates a fruitful and intense dialogue and interaction among international scientists and industry stakeholders to share knowledge, establish collaborations and strengthen working groups to drive innovation in the aquaculture industry. The topics covered include biotechnology, functional genomics and transcriptomics, genomic prediction, quantitative genetics and selective breeding, disease and stress genetics, genomes and gene editing, and more.
The symposium is jointly organized by the University of Cádiz (UCA), the Andalusian Institute of Agricultural and Fisheries Research and Training (IFAPA), and the international campus of excellence in marine science (CEI·MAR). The event will take place in beautiful city of Cádiz in South Spain. Situated as the gateway to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Cadiz boasts a centuries-old tradition of fisheries and aquaculture that has profoundly influenced the region’s identity and economy. These industries represent vital pillars of the local cultural heritage and economic sectors, combining tradition with to promote sustainability.
