Marine Science

| | Comments (5)

University of Miyazaki's Marine Science station is in Nobeoka, a place located 100+km away from the uni.
Went there for a field study lately...

     < view from the room

 

 

 

Group 2B-3 ... first task ... fishing! ... (collecting samples sounds better)

 

It reminds me of Hokkien mee in Penang... aka prawn noodles

 

 

 

4 in all.... more than 10 ran away with the food, and mouth injury...
I had a sunburn, which explains why I'm wearing long-sleeved Tee...

 

Second task.... ride a boat! ... (plankton collecting sounds better)

 

 

 

 

 

We used a net that costs rm3000+ which can last for only 100days.

It is impossible to take photos of plankton, therefore I show you this picture i stole from Google.com

 

 

 

Had extra time, so we continued fishing ... and while waiting for fishes to come...

 

an eagle showed up ...

 

 

then there were more eagles...

 

 

Always attractive to the wrong species...

 

End of Day 1 ... went back inside the field center. And these following stuffs drew my attention...

 

    < Octopus in capsule... takoyaki ?

 

 

 

This is a notice board to indicate where the lecturers and professors are... Available, or out to the sea etc...

Jap people are weird, but I think this isn't childish at all...

 

 

 

At night, my room mate and I were soo bored that we went for a stroll outside...

 

 

Someone's door...

 

 

And then there was camwhoring... Kevin is right. He said...

 

 

 

Day 2 : Report about samples.

 

This is my sample #1

 

 

 

Fugu = blowfish = An expensive Japanese delicacy = death if poison glands not removed properly

 

There are a lot of species of fugu... this is one of it

  < This is another species, called Mrs Puff

 

 

 

Sample #2
(don't know what is it called in English)

 

 

 

 

the end

Nice pictures. I recognized the one you took in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, Japan. That was in Tohmi Town, wasn't it? Anyway, it was nice to fall upon some pictures of my beloved Nobeoka. Take care and study hard. Life is easier with some study under one's belt.
