Overview
1. Monitoring for genetic variability of cohorts of marbled flounder and Japanese flounder in Sendai Bay which hatched after tsunami using nuclear and mitochondrial DNA markers.2. Research on change of population genetic structure and variabilities in rocky shore snails and sea urchins inhabit in the south Sanriku coast.
