I am a friendly and enthusiastic person who seeks to challenge my skills and abilities in order to further improve them.
Hence, I am always up for volunteering especially if it is about conducting research. I love doing research! Going out onto the field, collecting data...of course the write up is always a bit challenging but either ways I still enjoy doing it.
Learning about new topics and even participating in trainings so that my knowledge enhances. I like to know about everything especially if it has to do with Fish. :)

membrane in the otic capsules of teleost fishes and are constituted
of three pairs: the sagittae, lapilli and asterisci. They
have long been recognized as being species specific. A comparative
morphology of the sagittae, asterisci and lapilli
among six eel species of Anguilliformes belonging to the
Family Congridae, Muraenesocidae and Muraenidae was
studied. A total of 64 specimens belonging to Bathyconger
wallacei (n = 23), Conger japonicus (n = 9), Muraenesox
cinereus (n = 10), Echidna polyzona (n = 4), Gymnothorax
eurostus (n = 4) and Gymnothorax reticularis (n = 14) were
collected from Tungkang, Chengkung, Changbin and Nanfangao,
Taiwan, during the months of January and February
2013. The three pairs of otoliths were extracted from the otic
capsules of the eels and observed by light and scanning electron
microscopy. The morphology of the sagitta showed differences
in shape among B. wallacei, C. japonicus, M. cinereus
and G. reticularis, but similar shapes between E. polyzona
and G. eurostus. While the morphology of the lapillus showed
some similarities in shape among B. wallacei and C. japonicus
and among M.cinereus, E. polyzona, G. eurostus and G. reticularis.
The results also showed that the asteriscus is capable
of conveying species specific information, with the asteriscus
of each species varying in form. The three otolith types were
the largest in C. japonicus and M. cinereus and the smallest in
E. polyzona, G. eurostus and G. reticularis. The usage of the
three pairs of otoliths allows for a more informative differentiation
between the Anguilliformes species in Taiwan.
