AboutAbout the lab
Exploring marine life through plankton.
Biological Oceanography Lab studies marine life, focusing on plankton such as copepods.
The university's faculty profile lists biological oceanography, planktology, benthic biology, and coastal marine environmental science as research fields.
Among the recent papers that Professor Shimode lists as representative works are studies on copepod reproduction and bioluminescence, and on the silica skeletons of phaeodarians.
Key terms
- Copepods
- A group of small crustaceans, many of which are zooplankton drifting in the sea and other waters
- Plankton
- A general term for organisms that live drifting in water. They have weak swimming ability and move with the currents
- Biological oceanography
- A field that studies how organisms living in the sea behave and live, together with their marine environment
