Asia Pacific Coral Reef Symposium


The second Asia Pacific Coral Reef Symposium

On 20th of June, the 2nd Asia Pacific Coral Reef Symposium was held in Phuket, Thailand.

Labquip Thailand open a booth to promote Walz's products Diving-PAM which can measure chlorophyll fluorescence produced by the corals to see whether the corals is under stress conditions from the measurements collected.

The DIVING-PAM Underwater Fluorometer is a worldwide unique instrument for studying in situ photosynthesis of underwater plants, including macroalgae, sea grasses and corals. It opens the way for a profound analysis of these organisms under natural conditions. Such analysis profits from considerable experience gained during the past ten years from chlorophyll fluorescence studies of terrestrial plants with standard PAM Fluorometers.

Two people from Labquip Thailand was sent to Phuket to tend to the booth and See Wah, from Labquip Malaysia to help in support.

Duangporn also known as Yung and Nipaporn preferably called as J were there to help to give out information to all the participants who attended this event.

Presentation by researchers on coral reefs

Many researchers from all over the world came to this event including those from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Brazil, Maldives, UK and USA. Also not forgetting those from Asia Pacific region such as Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, Philipines, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Hongkong, and of course Thailand.

The main topic in this symposium is the climate change and how it affects corals, including coral bleaching and restoration of coral reefs.

I even met with a few users from Malaysia, some who is currently studying in Australia. They are avid users of Diving-PAM and is anticipating to more improvement and new accessories from Walz.

Overall, it is a successful exhibition because many researchers knew about Walz and is interested in to purchase a unit in the future as they recognised the importance of chlorophyll fluorescence in the studies of coral reefs.

Lastly, I would like to thank all those who came over to our booth and express interest in our products. It was a pleasure meeting with you all.

p/s: For those who are interested in doing workshops by a representative from Walz, please contact your local dealer to assist you in coordinating with Walz.
