| Outline and Purpose of the Course | What is happening in the sea and why? This course will explain the basics, including recent findings, from the coastal marine ecosystem to the global biogeochemical cycle. There will be a particular focus on the relationship between the marine environment, marine organisms, and fisheries based on research cases. Researchers with field specialization may be invited to give lectures on specific topics from home and abroad. | |||
| Course Goals | To deepen the understanding of the marine environment, which is the habitat of marine organisms, and the various organisms that inhabit it, and acquire the basic knowledge necessary for research and analysis. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
1. Circulation of inorganic substances in the ocean (Kobayashi) Explanation of the material cycle in the coastal area based on research cases (1-2 weeks) 2. Marine primary production and food chain (Kobayashi) Explanation of the role of plants and zooplankton in the ocean, food chain, etc., based on research cases (1-2 weeks) 3. Research methods for the marine environment and marine life (Mitamura, Ichikawa, Kimura, Kume) Explanation of behavioral observation methods for marine organisms based on research cases (2-3 weeks) 4. Marine consumer ecology (Mitamura, Ichikawa, Kimura, Kume) Explanation of consumer ecologies such as fish and marine mammals in the ocean based on research cases (4-6 weeks) 5.
