Biotechnological perspectives on the evaluation of invasive marine seaweed

Many invasive species have so far introduced to the Mediterranean Sea. Most of them have exhibited great adaptability to the Mediterranean sea ecosystem. Among invasive species, two members of Caulerpa Genus, C. taxifolia and C.cylindracea, are well-known and very famous because of their invasion success in the Mediterranean sea. Many eradication methods have been applied for these invasive species but no valid eradication method has been proposed up to now. In the seminar alternative biotechnological approaches on the evaluation of invasive species will be presented. As examples, the scientific reports on the invasive members of Caulerpa Genus will be reviewed in the seminar. Key words: Invasive Species, The Mediterranean Sea, Caulerpa taxifolia and Caulerpa cylindracea, Killer algae.

1. There is access to these seminars through Portal del Doctorando, activity Seminarios de Investigación (Research seminars). There are three blocks (Ciencias Médicas - Medical Sciences, Nutrición y Tecnología Alimentaria- Nutrition and Food technology, and Inglés- English language) to choose seven seminars from any of these three blocks. 2. Seminars could be carried out at any time (before the deadline stablished by EIDUCAM). 3. For each seminar, students must view the recording and the PDF presentation. After this, two tasks must be accomplished: • A test questionnaire. Once it is filled in and sent, it will be corrected automatically. Only if all the questions are answered correctly (there will be five attempts to achieve it), there will be acces to the next task. • Write and submit a report in PDF format about the content of the seminar. This report will consist in an aproximately 600 words summary and must include three bibliographic references (as Vancouver or APA Recommendations) related to the Seminar subject area. 4. The responsible person of this activity will correct the report and qualification (0/10, if failed or 10/10 if pass) will be published. If it is failed, the student must read the observations, repeat the report and sent it again before the deadline (unlimited sending). 5. Once the evaluation is finished, a certificate will be sent for each passed seminar. The student must load the certificate to the corresponding activity in LAUREA, and it will be validated by his/her tutor.
