I was involved in the Fish Behaviour laboratory in 2002. Since then, I have carried out various field and laboratory researches associated with impact of fishing on marine ecosystem in Australia and Japan. My research activities to date have been guided by my research philosophy that is based on interdisciplinary context across behavioral study of fish, hydrodynamics and fishing gear technology.
Current Research Interests
| 1. | Fish physiology, especially in the mechano-sensory system and muscular/cardio-physiology of the swimming exercise. |
| 2. | Functional morphology and evolutionary biomechanics of aquatic locomotion in fishes |
| 3. | Conservation ecology including the following specific topics: |
| ivasive species problem, impact of fishing activity on marine organisms, and fishing gear performance such as catchability, selectivity, and other things | |
| 4. | Underwater observation using video camera and monitoring instrument for a greater understanding of fish behaviour in relation to the capture process of various types of fishing gear. |
