The Department of Marine Biosciences , School of Marine Biosciences consists of three major chairs; Marine Ecobiology, Aquaculture Science and Applied Marine Biological Chemistry. Our educational programs are designed to develop human resources who can actively participate in a wide range of fields related to the use of marine organisms.


Educational Principles
The ocean is a treasure trove of bioresources. Marine bioscience is an applied science investigating diverse marine bioresources. Especially due to Japan’s long history of a fish-based food culture, its marine bioscience field is positioned as an international leader.
Within its educational principle, the School of Marine Biosciences not only provides education for technical skills in general marine biosciences based on academic fields, but also seeks to promote the development of the human resources. The school seeks to instill its students with a global viewpoint, and the ability, discernment, and practical skill to express one’s opinion.
