Biography

Editor research field includes physiological ecology of aquatic organisms, ecotoxicology of persistent pollutants, development & utilization of biological resources, and environment-friendly aquaculture technology practice. Professional education and work experience promise me to accumulate wide theory knowledge and proficient experiment skills, which allows me to own the confidence for proposing highly creative ideas and continuously expanding my scientific topics. Two present main topics involve the isopod Ligia and aquaponics technology. The aim of former is to discuss the feasibility of Ligia cinerascens as a biomonitoring/bioindicatoring candidate for marine environment protection, and also to evaluate the value of this species as a novel live food for satisfying the nutrition demand of aquaculture economic animals. On the other hand, the latter aquaponics is more practical than academic in my opinion. One of my endeavor directions is to make it realized as so-called ‘saline aquaponics’ by culturing the halophyte plants and marine animals. Another direction is to combine the culture of Ligia with aquaponics technology. Briefly, I’m culturing the Ligia in the aquaponics system in order to acclimate it to freshwater condition. In this system, the Ligia may play a role of ‘bio-converter’ to transform low-cost marine macroalgae into high-quality organic fertilizer for the growth of agricultural plants.
