Research Overview
Contribution to Aquaculture
As the world population continues to grow, food security has become an important issue. Aquaculture production of marine products has been increasing in recent years and will continue to be important in the future. We are currently conducting research to improve the efficiency of aquaculture production. We have developed new technologies to accelerate fish growth, and are conducting research to improve techniques for complete aquaculture. Through these studies, we contribute to the SDGs.
Microbial Production of Functional Compound by Marine Microorganisms
Many unknown microorganisms have been identified in oceans. Their characteristics are different from those of terrestrial microorganisms. In addition, they can produce compounds that can be utilized for medicine, functional foods, and cosmetics. We are currently attempting molecular breeding using genetic engineering, artificial mutations, and metabolomics. Our research will be useful for marine utilization.
