Overview

Pung-Pung Hwang is affiliated with Academia Sinica in Taiwan and is active in research related to environmental science and agricultural and biological sciences. Their work spans multiple subfields, including ecology, aquatic science, nature and landscape conservation, oceanography, and global and planetary change.

Their primary research topics include:

  • Physiological and biochemical adaptations
  • Aquaculture nutrition and growth
  • Fish ecology and management studies
  • Ocean acidification effects and responses
  • Marine bivalve and aquaculture studies
  • Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior
