Anna spent last week at the International Symposium of Tilapia Aquaculture in Cairo, Egypt. The conference brought together people involved with tilapia culture from all over the world in the hopes of developing a cheaper, more plentiful source of protein.
Anna presented her master's project: Na+K+ ATPASE Changes in Larval Tilapia Reared in Fresh Water and Sea Water. The mystery is why tilapia grow better and faster in salt water when they are naturally freshwater fish.
The conference kept Anna busy but she found time to visit museums, see the pyramids at Giza, and ride a camel while she was there. (That's her in front.)
