In addition to introducing research activities of JIRCAS and specific topics related to management and shrimp aquaculture technology by the two women scientists, the delegation visited a research facility for shrimp aquaculture technology. The visit provided an opportunity for the students to learn about the importance of nurturing human resources who can become active internationally in the field of life sciences.
