Poseidon and Tropical Pesticides Research Institute-Tanzania. Collaboration
between the two organizations began on malaria biocontrol in
temporary pools using annual killifish, which can survive drought
by undergoing hibernation as embryos in the dry substrate similar
to mosquitoes. This convergent evolution offers a unique
opportunity to use annual killifish as a tool in the eradication
of the immature stages of mosquitoes in temporary ponds.

Launch of subsea test facility at 30-45 meter depths to evaluate
the biofouling
in deeper waters.
The subsea environment has a different condition of fouling and
pressure compared to shallow submergence. Coatings for pipeline
and oil rigs require a more rigorous testing to meet these unique
conditions.

Poseidon Sciences continuing its
R&D work under the new program called the Nereus Project to develop new
methods to mitigate damage from oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico using a
novel, environmentally friendly material, called Nereid 640. This
new method enables the oil complex to disperse and remain suspended with
wave action to allow marine bacteria to efficiently degrade the oil. See
a laboratory demonstration
HERE.

Rediscovery of seagrape Caulerpa lentillifera in the Gulf of Mannar
and its mariculture.
Once thought extinct in the Gulf, the seagrape, also referred to as
umi budo, is high value seaweed for food use in Japan now found in
the east coast of South India. Mariculture technologies were
developed for this seaweed for later commercialization as an export
commodity. |

- A new publication on Poseidon's biological control method for
malarial vectors was recently published in the journal Parasite &
Vectors. This new method employs hibernating embryos of the
annual fish to be transported without water and introduced in
temporary pools. Upon hatching, the fish would decimate all the
mosquito larvae in the seasonal pools.
