Therefore, it is totally unknown how seriously the marine ecosystems and environment have been affected by the pile-up of a large amount of debris, loss of seaweed beds and tidelands, which serve as habitats for aquatic organisms, sand and mud deposited on reefs, destruction of transitional zones between land and sea due to ground subsidence, and spread of heavy oil and radioactive substances. To achieve recovery and reconstruction of the fi shing ground and industry of the affected area, it is essential to conduct surveys to identify the damage and launch new industries. The TEAMS project is mainly constructed with Tohoku University as its representative, the University of To-kyo’s Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology as deputy representatives. Under the collaboration of these research institutes, the four research projects were planned to survey the impacts of the disaster on the marine environment and ecosystem, and Tohoku Univ. has conducted the project “Elucidation of the process of change in the fi shery environment”. I would like to intro-duce the outline and current results of the TEAMS project.Motoyuki Hara (e-mail: mhara@m.tohoku.ac. jp)Project Professor. My research fi elds are conservation genetics and breeding science ge-netics of Pacifi c saury, Japanese fl ounder and Pacifi c abalone using genetic markers. The study of population structure and close species relations of Pacifi c abalone was effective in genetic management of the wild resources carried out in reproduction. Also, as basical-ly genetic data, linkage maps for Pacifi c abalone with microsatellite DNA markers were constructed in order to perform effi cient breeding. Now, I have worked as a coordinator of Tohoku Marine Science Project.
