日本海洋生物研究所 List of Products and Services

We collect samples using water samplers and sediment samplers, and conduct various chemical analyses in accordance with standard methods. The analyses include "water quality analysis" of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus), environmental items (DO, COD, SS, etc.), health items (cadmium, pesticides, etc.), special items (phenols, etc.), and other ions, as well as "sediment analysis" of particle size composition, COD, loss on ignition, sulfides, content tests, elution tests, and more. Please feel free to contact us when you need our services. [Analysis Targets] ■ Water Quality Analysis ■ Sediment Analysis *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Analysis and prediction system

We offer "DNA analysis" at our company. In addition to selecting or creating primers tailored to your objectives, we provide species-specific and comprehensive analysis results, as well as high-accuracy information compared against existing data and morphological classification results. We have implemented DNA barcoding methods targeting mitochondrial DNA 12S rRNA and COI genes to identify species from fish eggs with poor morphological characteristics and meat fragments extracted from stomach contents. 【Analysis Using Environmental DNA】 ■ Species-Specific Analysis - Estimating the presence/absence of target species, such as invasive or rare species, in the environment of interest. ■ Comprehensive Analysis - Thoroughly estimating the species composition of organisms inhabiting the target environment. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Analysis and prediction system

Our company conducts biological surveys and analyses. We implement collection methods suitable for organisms in various fields and carry out the collection of organisms. The analysis targets include bacteria, plankton, fish eggs and larvae, marine benthos, sessile organisms, and seaweeds. Researchers who are well-versed in each field identify (classify) the organisms and provide accurate physiological and ecological information tailored to the species. 【Analysis Targets (Partial)】 ■ Bacteria ■ Plankton ■ Fish Eggs and Larvae ■ Marine Benthos ■ Sessile Organisms *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

• Analysis and prediction system

Our company responds to the needs of environmental impact assessments by utilizing various numerical simulations, including local observations, indoor experiments, GIS, and ecosystem models. When actions that impact the environment are taken, consensus building is necessary among stakeholders with differing interests. We predict and evaluate ecosystem responses based on local observations and experiments, quantitatively grasping the benefits derived from actions that affect the environment and the disadvantages that arise from those actions, thereby supporting decision-making for policies. [Service Contents] ■ Assessments related to social infrastructure development ■ Impact assessments of energy and mineral resource extraction ■ Fisheries impact assessments ■ Response to accidental incidents ■ Contribution to global environmental issues *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
