蕭錫延今年獲提美國國科院魚蝦營養國際委員

　　台灣海洋大學、靜宜大學國家講座教授蕭錫延，日前獲美國國家科學院(National Academy of Sciences)提名為美國國家研究委員會魚蝦營養需求量委員會（National Research Council Committee on Nutrient Requirements of Fish and Shrimp）委員，該委員會除美國委員外，另提名五位國際委員，分別來自台灣、英國、法國、挪威及加拿大。

　　NRC的Nutrient Requirements of Fish and Shrimp為國際間最權威具有指標意義的魚蝦營養標準，1977與1993年分別制訂了第一與第二版標準，今(2009)年初美國國家科學院決議制訂第三版。值得一提的是，日本為水產大國，過去為該委員會委員，蕭錫延教授因過去二十餘年魚蝦類營養研究成果備受肯定，取代日本獲選為亞洲地區唯一委員，這是台灣水產營養研究在國際上一項重要殊榮。

　　NRC第一次委員會議已於今年2月18-20日於美國華盛頓州Seattle市舉行；第二次委員會議即將於9月16-18日在美國麻州Woods Hole召開；明年3月22-24日將在美國華盛頓DC美國國家科學院總部舉行第三次委員會議；三次委員會議之間，另外每月均定期舉行一次全體委員視訊會議。在最後一次委員會議中將完成全球魚蝦營養需求標準的制訂。
