Cydnabyddiaeth am gyfraniad oes at wyddor pysgod a physgodfeydd
Mae Gary Carvalho, Athro 蝉诺辞濒别驳 ym Mhrifysgol 香港六合彩挂牌资料 wedi derbyn Medal Beverton y (FSBI) Medal am ei ymchwil sydd wedi torri tir newydd ac am ei gyfraniad oes i wyddor pysgod a physgodfeydd.
Medal Beverton yw gwobr uchaf y FSBI ac mae鈥檔 nodi鈥檙 Athro Carvalho fel wyddonydd o bwys. Bu鈥檙 Athro Carvalho yn mynychu Symposiwm yr FSBI yn ddiweddar er mwyn derbyn y fedal.
Mae gwaith a diddordebau ymchwil yr Athro Carvalho yn cwmpasu datblygiad a defnydd technegau DNA i asesu sut y mae pysgod a rhywogaethau dyfrol eraill yn ymateb i鈥檙 amgylchedd dros cyfnodau amser byr a maith. Mae鈥檔 defnyddio鈥檙 gwybodaeth genynnol hyn i adnabod ac asesu rhywogaethau ar gyfer cadwraeth, rheolaeth pysgodfeydd yn ogystal ag er mwyn gwarchod y cwsmer, ac yn fwy diweddar, er mwyn asesu iechyd cymunedau unigol o bysgod drwy archwilio鈥檙 pysgod unigol gan ddefnyddio鈥檙 microbiome.
Meddai鈥檙 Athro Carvalho:
鈥淢ae derbyn medal Beverton, ynghyd a chydnabyddiaeth cydweithwyr ym maes gwyddoniaeth wrth gwrs yn anrhydedd fawr It is of course a great honour to receive the Beverton Medal and recognition from colleagues and peers working in fisheries science.
In collaboration with numerous students and collaborators across the years, we applied a range of genetic tools across many different fish species to tackle problems in fish conservation and management. Many of our studies showed that marine fish populations were divided frequently into smaller, locally adapted and biologically distinct units. Such evidence helped to shift the spatial scale that managers could regulate and enforce conservation measures. Understanding the distribution and abundance of such population diversity or 鈥済enetic resources鈥 enhances our ability to fish at sustainable levels as well as promote stock recovery. Such contributions collectively increase crucial dialogue between fisheries scientists and policy makers. Discussion helps us to design more effective genetic and other tools for application in relation to future challenges of environmental change and overexploitation.鈥
Since his appointment to 香港六合彩挂牌资料 in 2005 Prof Carvalho has led the Molecular Ecology and Fisheries Genetics Laboratory (MEFGL), which is now among the largest European groups focusing on the molecular ecology and evolution of aquatic life.
Prof Carvalho is a Fellow of the Linnean Society and of the Society of Biology and serves on various national and international Committees including as a member of several governmental and other advisory groups.
