Reserch and Other Activities
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 .

Regional Revitalization Forum 2 (2023)
Development of doctoral course program nurturing "Advanced Foreign Human Resources" who contributes to "Regional Revitalization".
Report
With 90 participants from a total of 14 universities and governmental agencies, a seminar was held from 3pm (JST) on Friday, March 17, 2023. Nine of these universities and governmental agencies, from five economies (Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar and Japan), have academic exchange agreements in place with Kochi University. Presentations on the conservation of species diversity through nature reserves and the ecophysiology of precious corals—the precious coral industry is indigenous to Kochi —were given. In addition, efforts for “regional revitalization” by Kochi University , mainly in the city of Muroto, were introduced to the audience. Active discussion followed with questions on topics including methods to establish nature reserves and tips for job creation through regional revitalization.
Background
Following Japan, which has a high aging population rate, Taiwan is also facing rapid aging and population decline, and there are concerns that the vitality of rural areas will decline.
In 2021, 10 Japanese and Taiwanese universities, including Kochi University, established the "TJ Alliance (Taiwan-Japan Alliance)" and began sharing human resource development initiatives to promote "Regional Revitalization." In addition, Kochi University has supported doctoral students by providing scholarships for their degree research since FY2021 to academically promote " Regional Revitalization " and help them settle in the region after completing their studies.
In this seminar, we will introduce these examples and discuss future developments.

How does Regional Revitalization Confront Aging and Declining Populations?
~The challenge of the Regional University~
"Regional Revitalization" is one of key policy in Japanese which aim of resolving some of the problems facing East Asia, including population decline, an aging population combined with a low birth rate, and declining regional economies. In this seminar, we discussed the role of higher education for its promotion.
