Led by Antón Vázquez-Arias, we collected F.vesiculosus for transplants at 22 locations in Galicia, using automatic samplers. Preliminary results will soon reveal the relationship between PTEs in algae and water.
Teresa Boquete and Carme Pacín presented posters on epigenetics and genetic diversity in Fucus vesiculosus at the IBC 2024 in Madrid, taking the opportunity for scientific collaboration.

In July 2024, we sampled 100 individuals of F. vesiculosus in an intertidal system to analyze how tidal height affects their chemical composition, PTE concentrations, and morphology. Results forthcoming.
Antón Vázquez-Arias and Carme Pacín attended the 8th ISAP 2024 in Porto, presenting studies on the distribution of elements in algae using Nano-SIMS and changes in cell walls with FTIR.
