U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Reproduction and Early Life History in the Scorpaenid genus Sebastes/June 1989/ Honolulu, HI

该奖项将资助由夏威夷大学的George W.Boehlert教授和日本北海道大学的Juro Yamada教授联合举办的研讨会，名为“Scorpaenid Genus Sebases的生殖和早期生活史”。与会者将于1989年6月26日至30日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁会面，总结目前的知识，并交流有关这种鱼的最新研究成果。塞巴斯鱼属包括岩鱼，分布于世界各地的温带和亚北极海域，为美国、日本和其他国家的重要渔业资源提供了支持。然而，这些渔业资源正在减少，美国和日本都对繁殖、胚胎发生和幼体生长的动态进行了研究，以努力确定这种减少的原因。这些研究的最新结果将在这次研讨会上讨论。此外，北美和日本在繁殖的各个方面的差异可以让研究人员有机会扩大他们的知识，这次研讨会也将使这一领域的工作者利用这个机会。

This award will support a seminar, "Reproduction and Early Life History in the Scorpaenid Genus Sebastes," organized jointly by Prof. George W. Boehlert of the University of Hawaii and Prof. Juro Yamada of Hokkaido University, Japan. Participants will meet in Honolulu, Hawaii June 26-30, 1989 to summarize current knowledge and to exchange recent research results concerning this fish genus. The genus Sebastes, which includes rockfish, occurs worldwide in temperate and subarctic seas and has supported important fishery resources in the U.S., Japan, and other countries. However, these fishery resources are in decline, and studies of the dynamics of reproduction, embryogenesis, and larval growth have been undertaken in both the U.S. and Japan in an effort to determine causes for this decline. Recent results on these studies will be discussed at this seminar. Further, differences in various aspects of reproduction between North American and Japanese Sebastes can give researchers an opportunity for expanding their knowledge, and this seminar will also enable workers in this field to take advantage of this opportunity.
