This animal physiology lab studies how fish and marine invertebrates adapt to constantly changing environments.

AboutAbout the lab
How living things coexist with their environment.
Ura Lab (Marine Animal Physiology Lab) studies osmoregulation in fish and how invertebrates adapt to their environment.
The lab learns from living organisms how they adapt to, and coexist with, environments that change from moment to moment.
In its lab introduction, students present the sea urchin aquaculture demonstration trial being run at the Faculty of Fisheries Sciences, through a video they made.
Key terms
- Osmoregulation
- The function of keeping the water and salt concentration inside the body stable even when the salinity of the surrounding water changes.
- Invertebrates
- Animals without a backbone, such as sea urchins, starfish, shellfish, and shrimp.
- Isoyake (urchin barrens)
- A phenomenon in which seaweed beds disappear and the rocky shore is left bare. One cause is sea urchins eating all the seaweed.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates how organisms adapt to continually changing environments. Its research centers on osmoregulation in fish and environmental adaptation in invertebrates.
