Introduction
This personal website is designed to be an introduction of the current researches by Akinori Takasuka. My interests have been directed to the mechanims of fish population dynamics. The current main topics are biological mechanisms of multi-species regime shifts, growth-based survival mechanisms during early life stages, and spawning biology and ecology of small pelagic fish species. Special emphasis has been on biological and ecological perspectives.
Brief personal history
I have had an interest in fish since early childhood. During grade-school years, I would often go in a river to catch catfish. Also, foreign freshwater fishes were collected in an aquarium: I was an enthusiastic aquarist.
Finally, I decided to be a fisheries oceanographer, when I proceeded to a junior year in the University. In March 2003, my PhD thesis was finished. This seems somewhat funny for myself, as my childhood dream was to be a fish-doctor (sensu a person of broad knowledge). Now, anyway, I am a researcher in embryo.
Always, I hope to be a researcher of "hot heart & cool mind" and aspire to be "a specialist with the property of a generalist".
