CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL. 90, NO. 10, 25 MAY 2006 1311 livelihoods through marine fishing in the conservation of marine ecosystems, it was also evident that alternatives need to be formulated to minimize the growing pressure on these ecosystems. Providing incentives for prudent extraction of biological resources, sea farming and sea ranching were some of the suggestions made by the speakers. The pa...

Bioinformatics is now a critical skill in many research and commercial environments as biological data are increasing in both size and complexity. South African researchers recognized this need in the mid-1990s and responded by working with the government as well as international bodies to develop initiatives to build bioinformatics capacity in the country. Significant injections of support fro...
