Rate My Professor Jumpei Okado

Jumpei Okado is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Nagoya University Graduate School of Environmental Studies. He holds a PhD and conducts research on seabird ecology, including foraging behavior, diet, energy expenditure, and mercury contamination in marine environments.

Okado has contributed to studies analyzing blood mercury concentrations in over 11,000 seabirds from 108 species, providing the first biologically derived estimate of oceanic mercury distribution. His publications include work on predators of Japanese Pacific salmon species, shifts in coastal forage fish communities detected through seabird diet monitoring, and foraging areas of species such as the Rhinoceros Auklet. He has co-authored papers appearing in journals including Science of the Total Environment, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, Marine Biology, and Ornithological Science.
