My research is focussing on taxonomy, ichthyofauna, biology and ecology of fish in estuaries and mangroves in northern Vietnam. One of the most important aspects that I am working on is to understand the early stages of fish in the above habitats. Recently, we have applied novel techniques to explore the distribution as well as predict the occurrence of fish under climate change and human activities. Based on these data, I will be able to introduce suitable solutions in conservation and sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in Vietnam, which will be integrated in my lectures, such as Zoology, Ecology and Marine Biology for undergraduates in HNUE. Also, annually I have lectures for international students, who participate in the Marine Biology Course held in Niigata University, Japan.
Finally, I hope to share what I know and hope to know what you share from the online class organized by Kochi University.

Dr. Shashank Keshavmurthy (Academia Sinica, Taiwan)
Reserch and Other Activities
I have extensive experience in research related to coral-Symbiodinium eco-physiology, molecular ecology, reproduction and development and stress-physiology. Over the past decade, I have worked to understand the Symbiodinium diversity and distributions in corals from the Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Persian/Arabian Gulf, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. I am specifically interested in corals present in high-latitude, extreme and marginal environments. I have also conducted several temperature stress experiments, using both adult corals and early life stages of corals, in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Palau. I am also looking at diversity and distributions of Symbiodinium in corals present at locations under long-term disturbance (nuclear power plant and adjacent areas in Taiwan).
My present research related to stress-physiology involves understanding the resistance mechanisms, thermal threshold limits, plasticity, resistance potential and eco-physiological memory in corals with different life history strategies (e.g. competitive, weedy, stress tolerant) present in environments with different long-term thermal histories under short and long-term temperature stress .
