4. MOU signing ceremony簽定合作備忘錄

On November 21, National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU) and the University of Hawaii (UH) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a Master's Program Agreement (MOA). NTOU President Tai-Wen Hsu and University of Hawaii System President Prof. David Lassner represented both institutions in signing the agreements. This partnership marks the beginning of a new chapter, offering more international learning opportunities, academic exchanges, and cooperation in various fields for both faculty and students.

Founded in 1907, the University of Hawaii has a long history of 116 years. Its main campus, located in Manoa, hosts 19 colleges, covering areas like architecture, earth sciences, marine sciences, and engineering. In the 2024 QS World University Rankings, it is ranked 386th and has consistently remained in the top 400 since 2012.

This collaboration focuses on shared academic strengths in aquaculture, environmental ecology, fisheries, marine sciences, and hydraulic engineering, with an emphasis on deeper cooperation with the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM). The MOA allows eligible students to apply early for the master's program at UHM's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology through a 3+2 program, enabling them to earn dual master's degrees, providing richer academic resources and global perspectives.

Prof. David Lassner, along with Ms. Tina Ou from the Ministry of Education's International Division, also visited NTOU’s Marine Engineering Laboratory and Aquatic Animal Research Center to learn more about NTOU's achievements and innovations in marine research.

9. Nuytsia - The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium西澳植物標本館雜誌

This research provides a molecular analysis that identifies the seaweed species Gracilaria transtasmanica, which inhabits various estuarine environments across New Zealand and Australia. The investigation details the distribution of Gracilaria transtasmanica in specific locales, including the Swan Estuary and other regions within Western Australia, and describes its typical growth patterns in sandy or muddy substrates. The findings demonstrate that G. transtasmanica is widespread and not currently considered threatened, with historical records validating its persistent presence in these habitats. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of marine biodiversity and elucidate the ecological role of this seaweed species within estuarine ecosystems. In summary, this research underscores the importance of integrating molecular techniques with morphological observations for the accurate identification of cryptic species, and highlights their implications for conservation and management strategies in marine biodiversity.

本研究通過分子親緣關係分析釐清 Gracilaria transtasmanica的藻種資訊，分析結果亦顯示其分佈於紐西蘭和澳大利亞的多個河口環境中。 Gracilaria transtasmanica 典型的生長環境為沙質或泥質的底質上，藻種分佈地點包括 Swan Estuary 以及西澳大利亞的其他地區。 G. transtasmanica 為廣泛分佈的藻種，在多數的棲地環境中生長狀況良好。依據歷年的研究記錄顯示該藻種在很長一段時間內一直都可在當地的生態系統中發現，且沒有面臨生存威脅。這些發現有助於加深對海洋生物多樣性的理解，並闡明了該藻種在河口生態系統中的生態角色。

This article revises the documented diversity of known marine fungi from nine phyla, 33 classes, 107 orders, 273 families, 767 genera and 1898 species reported worldwide. A member of the Aphelidiomycota, Pseudaphelidium drebesii, is reported for the first time from the marine environment, on a diatom. Likewise, the phylum Mortierellomycota is listed following taxonomic changes, as are six subclasses: Chaetothyriomycetidae, Savoryellomycetidae, Sclerococcomycetidae,

Agaricostilbomycetidae, Auriculariomycetidae and Aphelidiomycotina.

Thirty-three orders and 105 family names with marine species are added to the checklist, along with 641 species in 228 genera, bringing the total to 1898. New additions of species added to the list ofmarine fungi are highlighted. Four new combinations are proposed: Stigmatodiscus mangrovei, Diaporthe krabiensis and Diaporthe xylocarpi, while the hyphomycete Humicola alopallonella is referred to the genus Halosphaeriopsis, as Halosphaeriopsis alopallonella.

11. Aquaculture水產養殖期刊

Members of Penaeus s.l. are the most economically important shrimps, but there has been substantial confusion on their classification over the last few decades. In this study, we reconstructed a robust molecular phylogeny for these shrimps based on the most extensive dataset to date in terms of the number of molecular markers (four nuclear and three mitochondrial) and taxon coverage (31 of 32 known species in Penaeus s.l.). Two of the six genera proposed for Penaeus s.l. were revealed to be paraphyletic. Moreover, none of the morphological characters generally used for separating the species groups are synapomorphic or evolutionarily informative. As synapomorphic characters have yet to be discovered for all the main clades within Penaeus s.l., it is appropriate to retain these shrimps in a single genus to reflect their evolutionary relationships in terms of integrated taxonomy. A single genus classification scheme is also the least disruptive to the taxonomic names of these very important commercial shrimps.

對蝦屬 (Penaeus s.l.) 蝦類在全世界是重要的水產品之一，如草蝦、斑節蝦及白蝦等皆為此屬種類。由於對蝦屬的命名問題一直以來頗有爭議且紛擾不斷，本研究進一步利用高物種覆蓋率及高基因數，根據以往研究成果，詳加釐清對蝦屬的親緣關係。結果顯示整個對蝦屬可分出三大支序 (clades)，然而支序群集的屬別形態特徵卻與1997年美國學者細分出的6個亞屬並無一致。故本研究建議在分類命名中仍維持對蝦屬單一屬名，對市場經濟性的影響力較小。

Distinguished Professor Jiang-Shiou Hwang of the Institute of Marine Biology at National Taiwan Ocean University undertook a short-term research visit to Coimbatore, India, from July 24 to October 23, 2023. During his stay, Professor Hwang delivered recruitment presentations at 18 universities across India, actively promoting the university’s international graduate programs and scholarship opportunities. He also facilitated sister school collaborations and engaged in academic exchanges. His guest lectures successfully attracted top Indian researchers, further enhancing academic collaboration between Taiwan and India.This visit also served as an opportunity for Distinguished Professor Hwang to promote National Taiwan Ocean University, with the aim of encouraging more departments to attract international students and advance the university's internationalization efforts. He emphasized the importance of widely publicizing the university’s internationalization achievements to improve its rankings in both domestic and global evaluations. Given that India is an English-speaking country where university courses are conducted entirely in English, Professor Hwang noted that these students could significantly contribute to the research output of NTOU. He urged collective efforts to elevate the university’s research endeavors to new heights.

國立海洋大學生物研究所黃將修特聘教授於2023年7月24日至10月23日赴印度孔巴托進行短期研究。在此期間，黃教授於印度18所大學進行招生演講，積極推廣海大招收國際研究生的計劃與獎學金資訊，並推動姊妹校合作及展開學術交流。他也發表了客座演講，吸引印度優秀研究人員，進一步深化台印雙方的學術研究合作。藉此機會，黃教授大力宣傳海洋大學，期望各系所能夠吸引更多研究生，推動海大真正實現國際化。同時，黃教授認為海大應廣泛宣傳其國際化的成果，以提升在國內外國際化評比中的得分。印度作為全英語教學的國家，大學課程皆以英語授課，這對海大教師的論文發表極有幫助。黃教授呼籲大家共同努力，推動海大的研究更上一層樓。
