· Environmental monitoring has been conducted to estimate the scallop Patinopecten
yessoensis farming
capacity in Lake Saroma.
· Estimating the amount of food needed
for scallop requires investigating the process of phytoplankton production, which is their main source of food, and the process of
food consumption by various herbivores.
· Understanding the functions
and structures of the ecosystem involved in scallop
farming requires understandings on primary production, chemistry, and
biology; this is the perfect research site for utilizing the skills of our
laboratory.
