Japan JSPS Program: Influence of Thyroid Hormones on the Behavior of Larval Flounder This award will provide supplementary support to enable Dr. John Burke of the National Marine Fisheries Service Beaufort Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, to conduct collaborative research with Dr. Masaru Tanaka for 12 months at Kyoto University in Japan. Utilizing Dr. Burke's knowledge of American flounder, the team will study the effect thyroid hormones have on larval flounder immigrating from the sea to coastal nursery gounds. Flounder, like most marine fish, spawn at sea and their larvae are carried by tidal streams to coastal nursery grounds. During this migration, flounder larvae undergo a metamorphosis which is controlled by thyroid hormones. Burke's previous research has indicated that thyroid hormones induce eye migration as well as muscle development in flounder. Together, Burke and Tanaka will investigate whether the thyroid hormones actually initiate the flounders' inshore migration and will predict the impact of water toxicants which disrupt such thyroid activity. Dr. Tanaka's technique for producing flounder larvae year round and his expertise in the early life of flounder will complement Dr. Burke's experience with studying the effects of thyroid hormones on the American flounder and will facilitate the controlled recruitment of flounders in the United States and Japan.

日本JSPS计划：甲状腺激素对比目鱼幼体行为的影响该奖项将提供补充支持，使国家海军陆战队的约翰·伯克博士渔业服务波弗特实验室，美国商务部国家海洋和大气管理局与田中正郎博士在日本京都大学进行为期12个月的合作研究。利用伯克博士对美国比目鱼的了解，该团队将研究甲状腺激素对从海洋迁徙到沿海苗圃的比目鱼幼体的影响。像大多数海鱼一样，比目鱼在海上产卵，它们的幼体被潮汐溪流带到沿海的苗圃。在这种迁移过程中，比目鱼幼体经历了受甲状腺激素控制的变态过程。伯克之前的研究表明，甲状腺激素导致比目鱼的眼睛迁移和肌肉发育。伯克和田中将共同研究甲状腺激素是否真的启动了比目鱼的近岸迁徙，并将预测扰乱这种甲状腺活动的水毒的影响。田中博士常年培育比目鱼幼体的技术，以及他在比目鱼早期生活方面的专业知识，将补充伯克博士研究甲状腺激素对美国比目鱼影响的经验，并将有助于在美国和日本有控制地招募比目鱼。
