At ECSER, we are conducting physiological and ecological research of marine organisms surrounding Nagasaki, especially the East China Sea and the Ariake Sea. Additionally, as a base for field science in the East China Sea and the Ariake Sea, we welcome center researchers from inside and outside the university to conduct joint research. Currently, we have a staff of five researchers at ECSER and some of the current research topics at ECSER include Physiological and endocrinological study on sexual maturation of fish, Study on behavioral response of fish to environmental changes, and the Study on physiological ecology of seagrass beds using fluid dynamics. We are also conducting research on organisms found in the southern areas of the East China Sea. For details, please visit the homepages of the researcher of interest.
