Dec., 18, 2020 (Fri) 10:00 - The 2nd meeting room, 4th floor, Main building of United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, TUAT "Marine Ecosystems -East China Sea and Surrounding areas" The East China Sea, which is important marginal sea as a spawning / growing place for fishery-important marine species, is known as a vulnerable ecosystem susceptible to human activities and climate change. In this lecture, in addition to basic matters for understanding marine ecosystems, environmental issues in the East China Sea and featured topics of the Ariake Bay, the Kuroshio and coral reef ecosystems adjacent to the East China Sea will be explained. This course is designed to give students advanced knowledge and skills in the field of “Symbiotic Science of Environment and Natural Resources” by learning the latest knowledge and technology in agriculture. |
