Research Theme: Ecological characteristics of epiphytic microgastropods in coastal ecosystem.

Research Theme: Analysis of the combined effect of blue light irradiation and onsite fertilization on Undaria pinnatifida growth.

Light, temperature and nutrient are important factors in the ocean. My research theme studies how these factors interact with each other and how they effect growth in Arame when these factors are manipulated.

Research theme: The relationship between Harpacticoid copepod and Gelidium elegans.

Research theme: Analysis of genetic exchange among Eisenia bicyclis communities.

Research theme: Factors limiting the distribution of Mesocentrotus nudus.

My research is about the nests of amphipods. For this purpose, I dove into the sea every month last year (2021).

My research theme is about the ecology of amphipods Ceinina sp. which burrow and nest in seaweed.

Research Theme: Mainly focusing on WAKAME cultivation in the field. In Cooperation with Kaneki Company, I am researching new techniques to improve quality and quantity of seaweed by applying slow -release fertilization.

Research Theme: Studying the benefits of maternal care in caprella kominatoensis.

Research theme: Examination of slow-release fertilizer for the cultivation of Undaria pinnatifida.

Research theme: Changes of marine algal flora in Hirota bay, Iwate prefecture, Japan.
