The University of Minho, co-promoter of SP1b of the Algae Vertical project, represented by a team of researchers, took part in another edition of the International Conference on the Barcode of Life, which took place in Belém of Pará, Brazil, from 3 to 6 September 2024.
The work emphasised the use of advanced DNA analysis techniques to monitor marine macrozoobenthos and assess how integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems can contribute to the bioremediation and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems.
The event, organized by the iBOL Consortium in collaboration with the Vale Institute of Technology, offers a unique opportunity to exchange and disseminate cutting-edge scientific knowledge on the latest advances in DNA barcoding and metabarcoding for species identification.
