"Resource survey of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) on T/S Ushio-maru"
In April-May, large-sized and pelagic larvae of walleye pollock are collected by oblique towing with an FMT-net, and a survey is conducted to elucidate the annual fluctuation of growth rate based on water temperature and prey abundance.
As well as the egg and larval surveys from December to March, this project is used for stock prediction projects and practical training for undergraduate and graduate students in the Faculty of Fisheries Sciences.
