温暖的海洋微风,杰出的演讲者的豪华场地,令人着迷且内容丰富的演讲,以及8月30日至9月1日在佛罗里达州好莱坞举行的豪华威斯汀外交机构和SPA举行的创新和引人入胜的供应商展示,以使Macna 2013合并为Macna 2013,这是一项活动。要记住。
在这里为您的朋友盐水智能, 这2013 Marine Aquarium Conference of North America(Macna)原来是一个绝佳的机会,不仅是从领先的行业专家那里捕捉到一些智慧,看看一些令人惊叹的珊瑚碎片和鱼类,并看到所有最新的水族馆技术,而且还最终拥有一些真正的真正与海洋水族馆爱好者面对时间。
演讲者的出色阵容
First, we’d like to thank the MACNA 2013 organizers for doing a wonderful job of lining up speakers who touched upon a broad variety of topics. If attendees couldn’t find a presentation to pique their interest, they just weren’t trying hard enough! Also, kudos to托尼·瓦尔加斯(Tony Vargas)for establishing and sustaining the perfect tone for an enjoyable event, beginning with his introductory comments on Friday morning and continuing throughout the weekend.
克里斯和我参加了会谈(尽管我们为自己设定了紧迫的会议时间表),事实证明,时间非常好。例如,海洋生物学家Vincent Chalias对他在巴厘岛的珊瑚山养殖努力深刻瞥见,这对以保护意为保护的礁。
凯文·科恩(Kevin Kohen)liveaquaria.com,向与会者介绍了各种稀有的,令人震惊的鱼,有时会进入海洋水族馆贸易,并讨论了如何适当照顾它们。
这位尊敬的马丁·莫(Martin Moe)是一位行业传奇人物,他开创了当今海洋物种圈养中使用的许多技术,讨论了他在繁殖黄头爪鱼,黑帽巴斯兹和diacdema spp方面所经历的挑战和胜利。海胆。
摩根·摩尔(Morgan Moore)在加勒比海珊瑚上的演讲受到了特别好评盐水智能’own Chris Aldrich—known in certain circles as “Caribbean Chris” (and by MACNA 2013 attendees as “that odd fellow jumping up and down and fist-pumping in the back of the lecture hall”). Something tells me he may soon be upsizing his Caribbean biotope tank to accommodate some of the beautiful species Morgan introduced!
但是,也许给我们最想想的食物的议长是朱利安·斯普伦(Julian Sprung),著名的生物学家,作家,摄影师,水族馆设计顾问,也是两个小渔民的总裁。朱利安(Julian)关于拟议立法的介绍可能会对礁石保存的爱好产生深远影响,这是一个真正的大开眼界和呼吁采取行动,我们打算在以后的帖子中更详细地介绍(请继续关注!)。
And that’s just scratching the surface! Matthew Wittenrich, Sanjay Joshi, Dana Riddle, and several other distinguished speakers also gave lectures that, regrettably, we were unable to attend. There’s always next year!
令人敬畏的供应商显示
威斯汀外交官的演讲室的一楼是MacNA 2013供应商大厅。我们花了很多时间仔细阅读那里的各种展示,但仍然没有看到所有要看的东西。许多供应商显然投入参与与会者的努力确实令人印象深刻。
Perhaps not surprisingly, the displays that really caught our attention were those featuring beautiful marine livestock. Of course, there were all kinds of gorgeous corals and other invertebrates to ogle around the hall, but it was two particular cylindrical tanks that stopped us in our tracks and kept us coming back for second, third, and fourth looks.
其中之一是ora的零边缘水族馆,满是弗吉尼亚州riety of their captive-bred fishes and invertebrates. This remarkably crystal-clear tank was just as stunning (if not more so) viewed from above as from the side. Coming in a close second was a tank presented byProaquatix,其中有一所大型圈养的look望式在紧密的编舞中一起游泳。从两个坦克继续前进的真实行为。
与海洋爱好者见面
不过,最重要的是,有机会与爱好者,博客作者和其他行业人士见面并交谈,他们对这一美好的爱好和海浪下的世界都有热情。
We’d like to thank all those MACNA 2013 attendees who took the time to chat with us, including Kevin Kohen of LiveAquaria.com, Eric Cohen of Sea Dwelling Creatures, Julian Sprung of Two Little Fishies, Josh Saul of Reefs.com, David Hammontree of Reef2Reef.com, Mark Levenson of Melevsreef.com, Morgan Moore of Reefgardener.net, Kara and Philipp Rauch of KP Aquatics, Steve Kinnaird of the Space Coast Reef Club, and many others.
