Coastal Field Bioproduction Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores the genetic diversity of marine organisms and their environment along the Sanriku coast.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring marine genetics and environment from the Sanriku coast
The Coastal Field Bioproduction Lab is advancing a new research area called seascape genetics or genomics, which combines population genetics of marine organisms with elements of environmental ecology.
The lab is based at the Education and Research Center for Composite Ecological Fields (commonly known as the Onagawa Field Center) in Onagawa Town, Oshika District.
In the surrounding Sanriku coastal region, the meeting of the Oyashio and Kuroshio currents creates a highly productive ecosystem, making it one of the world's leading fishing grounds.
The lab aims to clarify the evolution and population structure of coastal species and to contribute to resource conservation and sustainable use.
Key terms
- Seascape genetics
- A research field that examines the relationship between the marine environment and genetic differences among organisms
- Population genetics
- The study of how genetic differences are distributed within groups of the same species and how they change over time
- Oyashio and Kuroshio currents
- The Oyashio is a cold current flowing from the north, and the Kuroshio is a warm current flowing from the south
ResearchResearch themes
The lab combines population genetics of marine organisms with elements of environmental ecology, advancing a new field called seascape genetics or genomics. By studying the movement of materials and organisms in coastal marine areas, including Onagawa Bay, it clarifies the evolution and population structure of coastal species, aiming to contribute to resource conservation and sustainable use.
