Marine Biology Lab (Amakusa Marine Biological Laboratory)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab at a marine biological station exploring the diversity and coexistence of coastal organisms.
AboutAbout the lab
Studying coastal biological communities in Amakusa.
The Marine Biology Lab conducts research on biological communities, focused on coastal areas, at the Amakusa Marine Biological Laboratory.
Targeting fishes, benthos, and corals, the lab investigates how biodiversity differs from place to place.
Its research themes also include how biological communities form and how species coexist in intertidal zones and coral reefs.
Associate Professor Seiji Arakaki also leads the marine field training courses.
Key terms
- Biological community
- A group of various species living in the same place. It is studied together with the relationships among the species
- Benthos
- A general term for organisms that live on the bottom, such as on the bed of a body of water or on rock surfaces
- Intertidal zone
- The band of shore that is alternately submerged and exposed as the tide rises and falls
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies coastal biological communities, asking how biodiversity differs from place to place and how species coexist to form communities. Its subjects are fishes, benthos, and corals.
