Ecotoxicology Lab (IkJoon Ueno)
Machine-translated · View original
Ecotoxicology research that investigates water pollution and toxicity through the behavior of fish and shellfish.
AboutAbout the lab
Protecting water quality through the behavior of aquatic organisms
Associate Professor Ueno, who specializes in ecotoxicology, conducts research using aquatic organisms to protect and maintain safe, reliable water quality.
Using the behavior of fish and shellfish as clues, the lab monitors the quality of drinking water and river water and evaluates the toxicity of chemicals in the water.
Aquatic organisms send out signals in response to environmental changes caused by chemical spills.
Monitoring these signals (the swimming behavior, group behavior, and sound production of medaka) is the research theme.
The lab aims to protect wildlife and human health from harmful environmental pollutants and to maintain ecosystems.
Key terms
- Ecotoxicology
- A field that studies the effects of chemicals on living organisms, such as aquatic life, and on ecosystems.
- Microplastics
- Very small plastic particles formed when plastic breaks into fine pieces.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates how chemicals and pollution in water affect living organisms, with the aim of protecting and maintaining water quality. Using the behavior of fish and shellfish, it monitors the quality of drinking water and river water and evaluates the toxicity of chemicals.
*Illustrative imageMicroplastics and Fish Behavior
The lab examines how microplastics and harmful chemicals in the environment affect the behavior of fish. The research explores the relationship with water quality and pollution through fish behavior.
*Illustrative imageChanges in Medaka Sound Production
Among the signals that aquatic organisms send out in response to environmental changes caused by chemical spills, the lab monitors the sounds produced by medaka. It also examines how microplastics affect medaka sound production.
