Introduction
In my childhood, I’ve loved insect and fishing. I didn’t have a strong will to be a researchr, but I realized that I had been a researcher of plankton for over 30 years. The advantage of plankton research is simplicity in collection. ( phytoplankton can be collected bottle sampling of water, and zooplankton can be collected as towing a net) and there are few competitive researcher although over 2000 researchers are gather if you join an international symposium. Japan is surrounded by the characteristic seas, and I think it is a advantageous environment for studying plankton, from the coast to the open ocean, There are lots of research themes.
