The first year seminar of Professor Kazuaki Takahashi from the Faculty of Environmental Tourism visits us and learns about the efforts of the Institute of Freshwater Biology and the local nature!

On Thursday, June 5, 2025, 16 first-year students from the Faculty of Environmental Tourism visited the Institute of Freshwater Biology as part of Professor Kazuaki Takahashi’s first-year seminar. They learned about local nature and issues, the Institute’s efforts, and research on the fragmentation of the Chikuma River. The students toured the facility and learned about a universal projector that magnifies fish scales and determines their age from tree rings, as seen in the photo. The Institute of Freshwater Biology will continue to contribute to educational activities like this one.
