本研究之進行時間擬從2015年8月到2018年7月期間，針對龜山島資源永續發展與熱泉生物多樣性進行野外採樣調查、實驗室研究與分析。研究主要探討：(A) 龜山島近岸海洋資源的保育與復育策略。(B) 龜山島近岸與遠洋資源的現況與動態分析。(C) 海洋暖化及酸化對龜山島近岸海洋資源的衝擊與評估。(D) 龜山島海洋棲地保育行動準則與策略。以及(E)龜山島海洋、海岸生態系統功能維護。此計畫將整併與延續過去龜山島浮游動物研究主題，持續於對龜山島周圍海域進行浮游動物採樣。對龜山島近岸水域進行生物採集與鑑定，建立長期生態資料庫，配合日後全球暖化與海洋酸化議題，瞭解該海域受到的衝擊與連結程度以完成上述5項主題為目的。透過本研究系統化的探討，將增加我們對熱泉區烏龜怪方蟹與海域浮游動物之適應機制、生理反應與生態結構變遷的瞭解，此外，龜山島珊瑚礁區之珊瑚與十足目的共生關係亦是本計劃研究之重點項目。研究結果將對瞭解熱泉區生物之生態學、生理學、行為、適應與個體生物學有更進一步的貢獻。最終達到促進龜山島海岸地區全面性永續發展，減少災害發生之目的，讓龜山島生態系之功能得到適度的功能維護，最終讓海岸資源可以永續利用。 The aims of this study are to understand “Effects of hydrothermal vents on biodiversity and bio-resources and the sustainable development of hydrothermal vent ecosystem” at Kueishan Island. We will carry out the research in the areas near shallow water hydrothermal vents and the surroundings of Kueishan Island, off the northeast coast of Taiwan. The samplings, laboratory and in situ research, and further analysis will be conducted from the period of August 2015 to July 2018. The objectives of the present study cover: (A) Conservation of marine resources and restoration strategies at near shore of the Kueishan Island. (B) The changes and trends of coastal and ocean resources, in the waters of Kueishan Island. (C) Assess the impact of Global warming and acidification on marine resources in near shore of the Kueishan Island. (D) Establish action guidelines and strategies of conservation for marine habitat in the Kueishan Island. (E) Study the influence of ocean currents, tides and sediment transport in the waters of the Kueishan Island. (F) Functional maintenance for ecosystems of marine and coastal of the Kueishan Island. This project is part of the team works and will combine and integrate all PIs efforts to reach the goals above. We will continue the past research efforts on zooplankton ecology and behavior research in Kueishan Island. Laboratory and in-situ study will be carried out simultaneously. The effects of global warming and ocean acidification will be simulated by using Kueishan Island as a template. A systematic and integrated study on the hydrothermal vents of Kueishan Island will allow us to understand the physiological responses and ecological adaptations of vent organisms. This integrative research of the hydrothermal vent research will allow us to integrate the multiple fields of the behavior, ecology, physiology and molecular biology to the adaptive mechanisms in vent habitats. This is a necessary step to promote the comprehensive and sustainable development of the hydrothermal vent ecosystem. In conclusion, this team research can make Taiwan to be one of the leading countries in hydrothermal vent research.
