A lab that studies aquatic organisms such as fish and shellfish on-site at the seashore.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring aquatic life on-site at the seashore
The Aqua-Field Science Lab is based at the Fishery Research Laboratory near the coast in Tsuyazaki, Fukutsu, and studies aquatic organisms and their environments.
The Fishery Research Laboratory is a shared-use facility built for education and research at sites where marine organisms live. Students of the Faculty of Agriculture and researchers from inside and outside the university visit for hands-on laboratory training and research.
The lab conducts field surveys of ecosystems, mainly of fishes, and research on the spawning and development of marine invertebrates as well as on rearing, aquaculture, and stock enhancement techniques.
It is basically a lab that students join from graduate school, but in some cases undergraduates can also take part in research.
Key terms
- Marine invertebrates
- Animals without backbones that live in the sea. In this lab, the main subjects are shellfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers
- Aquaculture and stock enhancement
- Techniques for raising aquatic organisms by human hands to increase their numbers
- Ecotone
- A band-like zone at the boundary where environments transition, such as between water and land
ResearchResearch themes
The Aqua-Field Science Lab aims to contribute to society through the conservation and protection of biodiversity, food resources, and genetic resources. Aiming for a sustainable natural environment, it carries out a wide range of research, from field surveys of aquatic environments to molecular-level research on marine invertebrates.
*Illustrative imageFish Ecology and Conservation of Aquatic Environments
Grounded in the conservation of aquatic environments, researchers study biodiversity and ecosystems through field surveys, mainly targeting fishes.
*Illustrative imageSpawning and Rearing of Marine Invertebrates
Researchers clarify the molecular basis of spawning, development, and growth in marine invertebrates, and develop rearing, aquaculture, and stock enhancement techniques based on those findings.
*Illustrative imageOrganisms of Estuaries and Tidal Flats, and Their Conservation
Researchers assess biological communities and biodiversity in estuaries and build habitat models. The conservation and restoration of tidal flats and ecotones are also subjects of research.
