The central committee of "The 2nd International Symposium of Oryzias Fish" has decided this afternoon in Bangkok that "The 3rd International Symposium of Oryzias Fish" will be held in Malaysia and will be organised by Universiti Putra Malaysia in November 2011.Prof. Ahmad Ismail was given the task to chair the organising committee. The task given to him by the central committee was due to his strong push, active scientist in medaka studies and commited to promote this small fish for big potential. This fish is small with big eyes. In this coming symposium more participants from India, Korea, Taiwan, Hongkong, China (mainland), Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines will be invited. This is because of a lot more information on medaka fishes are lacking and in some areas these fishes are not known even though they are available. In the second symposium, which participated by Malaysia, Japan, Thailand, Hongkong, Laos and Cambodia, the discussions were about the biology, ecology, genetics and application of technology related to medaka fishes. A lot more are not clear about medaka fishes, from taxonomy to their ecology. Hopefully in the third symposium which will be held in Malaysia in November 2011 will try to answer many of the uncertainties about medaka and develop more new technologies related to this fish.In the first symposium 2007, only participated by three countries Malaysia, Japan and Thailand.
