After she received her bachelor’s degree of Marine Biological Resources and Environment in Ocean University of China, Yumeng Pang went to Japan and earned her master and PhD degree of Aquatic Biology Science in the University of Tokyo. She has a great passion for sustainable fishery management under the threats of climate change and intensive fishing, especially the increasing cephalopod fisheries. She has disclosed the causes of cephalopod population fluctuation under the impact of long-term climate change, analyzed the influence of overfishing on shift of cephalopod species composition and changes in their ecological roles, and proposed science-directed cephalopod fishery management measures. Additionally, she has interests in various marine environmental issues and socio-economic studies in coastal fisheries. Currently, she works as an Ocean Nexus Research Fellow for a collaborative project of Nippon Foundation, focusing on the impact of Ocean Acidification on oyster farming in Japan coastal seas, and the adaptation and mitigation measures for future environmental challenges.
