Ecotoxicology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An ecotoxicology lab that watches over water safety through fish behavior.
AboutAbout the lab
Watching over water safety through fish behavior
Associate Professor IkJoon Ueno studies, from the standpoint of ecotoxicology, how to protect and maintain safe and reliable water quality using aquatic organisms.
Using the behavior of fish and shellfish, the lab mainly monitors the quality of drinking water and river water and evaluates the toxicity of chemical substances in the aquatic environment.
The lab focuses on medaka swimming behavior, group behavior, and sound production as signals that aquatic organisms give off in response to environmental changes caused by chemical spills.
In education, the lab also engages in learning activities carried out in collaboration with society and companies.
Key terms
- Ecotoxicology
- A field that evaluates the toxicity of chemical substances to living organisms. In this lab, changes in the behavior of aquatic organisms are used as clues.
- Water quality monitoring
- Continuously examining and keeping watch over the condition of water. In this lab, the behavior of fish and shellfish is used as a signal.
- Microplastics
- Very small plastic particles found in aquatic ecosystems. Their effects on aquatic organisms are a cause for concern.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research with the aim of protecting and maintaining safe and reliable water quality using aquatic organisms. It aims to protect wildlife and human health from harmful environmental pollutants and to sustain ecosystems.
*Illustrative imageWatching over water quality through the behavior of fish and shellfish
Through water quality monitoring based on the behavior of fish and shellfish, the lab mainly examines drinking water and river water and evaluates the toxicity of chemical substances in the aquatic environment. It focuses on changes in medaka swimming behavior, group behavior, and sound production.
*Illustrative imageProblem-solving science for local issues
Starting from the view that many social problems arise as local issues, the lab analyzes the causes of these issues from various perspectives and considers solutions. It creates opportunities for discussion through collaboration among industry, academia, and government, and works to solve the issues.
*Illustrative imageMicroplastics and fish behavior
The lab investigates how microplastics and harmful chemicals in the environment affect fish behavior. The research keywords listed are fish, behavior, water quality, and pollution.
