本研究之目的為推動橈足類的生態、生理及基因表現之研究，探討橈足類暴露於(由人類活動或自然環境釋放的)化學物質環境時，其生態、生理與基因表現程度，藉此加強生物活性物質與有毒物質對次級營養階層生產層級之影響的研究。本研究將針對太平洋亞熱帶、熱帶與地中海溫帶地區，比較橈足類的反應差異。過去兩年來雙邊合作的關鍵發現與科學貢獻如下:(1)本研究首創利用新型倍頻顯微鏡研究橈足類之生理學;(2)評估氯化汞對橈足類幼蟲之亞慢性毒性影響;(3)附錄為兩篇已出版論文;(4)另外兩篇論文已投稿至SCI 期刊，目前正由期刊委員會審稿中。 The aim of the present project is to promote research on the ecology, physiology and gene expression levels of copepods exposed to chemicals (deriving from anthropogenic and natural sources) to highlight the effects of bioactive compounds and the toxicants on the secondary trophic production level. A comparison will be conducted between different responses of copepod species living in the Pacific sub-tropical, tropical and Mediterranean temperate regions. The key findings and scientific contribution in the past two years’ bilateral collaboration obtain include (1).Application, for the first time, of the newly harmonic generation microscopy to study copepod physiology; (2). Evaluation of sub-chronic effects of mercury chloride on copepod nauplii; (3) Two manuscripts have been published as in appendix (4) Another two manuscripts have been submitted to SCI journals and currently under evaluation.
