Contributing to the sustainable use and conservation of coastal ecosystems

Aquatic animals in coastal ecosystems are strongly affected by human activities. How can their behavior, ecology, and environmental responses be elucidated in both wild and captive settings? Associate Professor Satoko Kimura tackled this challenge through extensive collaboration with academia, government, and related institutions. For these achievements, she received the 2025 Japan Society of Fisheries Science Award for Advancement in Fisheries Science.
