| Outline and Purpose of the Course | Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF) is important species of fisheries in Japan and targeted by fisheries and aquaculture. PBF has highly migratory species which migrate between eastern and western Pacific Ocean. PBF also has the typical survival strategy in the early life stage as mass-spawning fish. In this class, recent studies about biology and ecology of PBF will be reviewed and relationship between eco-biology and fisheries of PBF will be also lectured. The purpose of this class are 1) to understand the development of ecological findings of fish by various methods and 2) to understand how the ecological findings are applied to fisheries and aquaculture. | ||
| Course Goals |
1, Understanding the methods of ecological research and feature of life cycle of PBF 2, Understanding the current status of PBF fisheries and aquaculture 3, Understanding relationship between biology and fisheries of PBF 4, Understanding the significance and importance of biological research for sustainable use of aquatic organ, using PBF as a model fish species. |
