As part of the top-down research of the JST e-ASIA SICORP project and the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology's "New Area Core Research Creation Project," our university is promoting research into the impact of climate change on aquaculture.

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding an in-person international symposium, "The Impact of Climate Change on Shrimp Health and Aquaculture," at our Shinagawa Campus, inviting experts from Japan and abroad. This symposium will focus on the urgent issue of the impact of climate change on shrimp health and aquaculture, and aims to promote international cooperation toward realizing sustainable aquaculture.

On the day, we have invited Dr. Mary Beth B. Maningas from the Philippines (University of Santo Tomas) and Dr. Kunlaya Somboonwiwat from Thailand (Chulalongkorn University) to give lectures on the latest research on the development of diagnostic and treatment methods for shrimp diseases, and heat stress and immunity. Furthermore, from Japan, we will have Dr. Ryosuke Omori from the Hokkaido University Institute for Zoonosis Control, who will give a talk on "mathematical modeling" for disease management in aquaculture, and we will engage in a cross-disciplinary discussion.
