Editorial

Dear Readers,

Here is the 12th edition of the Bulletin which has been issued more quickly than usual as enough information had been received to advance its publication date. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have already contributed to the Bulletin and ask that you take an active role in its improvement, as many of you have already indicated that the Bulletin is useful for you. 

The presentation is still by section, i.e. 1) New Information, 2) Correspondence, 3) Publications. Do you find this satisfactory?

• Which section should be given more space?

• In the ÔNew InformationÕ section, how do you find the parts on 'In situ spawning observations' and 'Observations of asexual reproduction through fission '? Your contributions on these topics are important; would you have any related submission that could be included in the next issue?

• The column ‘Aquacultural information’ has been continued thanks to the collaboration of S. Battaglene from ICLARM. Do you find it useful?

• Are there any other new parts that you would like to see included? 

Your suggestions and comments are both useful and necessary for the Bulletin’s development.

Bulletin no. 12 includes an original article about international markets. An important conference took place in Malaysia. Many different aspects of the biology of marketable species and genetics, a new area, are also discussed. 

The next International Echinoderm Conference will be held in New Zealand at the beginning of the year 2000. Its site is http://macintosh.otago.ac.nz/iec2000

The Echinoderms Newsletter is now also available on the Web at http://www.nmnh.si.edu/iz/echinoderm
