Hello,This is Kogawa.
In this time, we climbed in the vessel of JAMSTEC and conducted the experiment at Philippines. The experimental area was very far from Japan. How long far ? It takes 6 days by vessel. And the way to desitination, there was a hardness in this voyage. It was a sea sickness. Flankly speaking, I underestimated the sea sickness. The sickness which we feel when we are playing game or reading books, is lasting . It's a sea sickness. But becoming a sea sickness is a fun for the Laputa experiment.

　And this voyage, we went with the research team of Prof. Tsukamoto masami of Tokyo university. This research team is studying about the Anguilla japonica which runs the ocean from japan to the Philippines to deposit one's eggs. In this voyage they were researching about the evaluation of method for detecting the depositing area.

Thorough this voyage, I found the fun of the sciense. The anguilla japonica research team were searching the eggs of Anguilla japonica for 14 years, In the 2009's voyage they found the eggs. Listening to the story, actually this research field is different from our field I felt the worthwhile of the studying the sciense, and fun of the fun of as a scientist studying the difficult study. And also Laputa project which was conducted the far are from Japan was so exitive project, it has a lot of hardnesses and fun. This voyage, there were a lot of moment in this which we studyied thanks to Prof. Maruyama and everyone cooperating this project. In this statement I'd like to say thank you. Thank you for your cooperation!
