【賀】恭喜本所劉愷程同學參加2026海洋年會獲優選
2026海洋年會得獎摘要及感想
(劉愷程 M115110011)
我是來自香港的劉愷程同學，目前就讀於國立中山大學海洋生態與保育研究所。自2022年入學以來，參與學術研討會並發表研究成果一直是研究所的畢業門檻之一，因此參加海洋年會，除了是完成研究所的要求以外，也是檢視自身研究成果與學術表達能力的寶貴機會。回顧2024年與2026年兩次參與海洋年會的經驗，皆讓我獲益良多，而本次獲獎更成為我研究生涯中難忘的重要里程碑。
2026年海洋年會於5月12日至14日在臺南舉辦。我參加海洋生物與漁業組青年論壇口頭發表，分享我的碩士論文研究成果。我的論文題目為「台灣南部沿海有害藻類及原生動物之多樣性探討」，主要探討恆春半島沿海有害藻類及原生生物群聚的多樣性，以及其時間與空間分布變化。研究以恆春半島海域之海水與海草床樣本為基礎，結合DNA元條形碼與螢光原位雜交技術（FISH），鑑定並建立微藻的基線資料庫，以及辨識因形態高度相似而難以透過傳統光學顯微鏡區分的特定有害藻類。
很榮幸地，本次發表最終獲得海洋生物與漁業組第一名的肯定。從研究成果整理、簡報設計到正式口頭報告，整個過程皆讓我深刻體會到學術發表的重要性與挑戰性。由於會者來自不同研究領域，要在短短12分鐘內將兩年來關於微觀生物世界的研究成果完整呈現，同時兼顧科學嚴謹性與聽眾理解度，並非易事。因此，我學習如何將複雜的研究數據轉化為清晰且具有邏輯性的科學敘事，使不同背景的聽眾都能理解研究的重要性與價值。此外，報告後的問答環節亦讓我獲益匪淺。雖然事前已針對可能問題進行充分準備，但現場聽眾提出的問題仍帶來許多新的觀點與思考方向。我必須在有限時間內迅速整理思緒、組織答案，並清晰地回應。這樣的訓練不僅提升了我的臨場反應能力，這些建議與回饋也讓我從不同角度重新檢視自己的研究內容。除了發表經驗之外，每次的研討會也讓我有機會走出實驗室，與來自全臺各大專院校及研究機構的研究人員進行交流。讓我有機會認識許多來自國立臺灣大學、國立臺灣海洋大學及其他學術單位的優秀學生與學者，透過彼此分享研究經驗與學術觀點，不僅拓展了我的研究視野，也建立了珍貴的人際網絡。這些交流經驗讓我更加了解臺灣海洋科學研究的發展趨勢，也為未來可能的學術合作奠定基礎。
回顧整個研究所學習歷程，我十分感謝海洋生態與保育研究所提供豐富的學習與成長機會。研究所教師們始終鼓勵學生勇於走出舒適圈，積極參與各類學術活動與外部挑戰。此次能夠獲獎是指導教授及研究所師長長期悉心指導與栽培的成果。在此，我誠摯感謝我的指導教授、研究所所有師長以及一路陪伴與支持我的同學與朋友。未來我將持續秉持研究熱忱，精進專業能力，希望能在海洋科學領域持續學習與貢獻所長。
Abstract and reflection at the 2026 Ocean Sciences Conference
(LAU Hoi Ching, Lucy M115110011)
My name is Lucy Lau, and I am an international student from Hong Kong. I joined the Institute of Marine Ecology and Conservation (IMEC) at National Sun Yat-sen University in 2022. As an IMEC student, presenting at and attending scientific conferences is a core graduation requirement. This was my primary motivation for participating in the Ocean Sciences Conference in both 2024 and 2026, and looking back, the experience has been definitely rewarding.
The 2026 Ocean Sciences Conference took place in Tainan from May 12–14. I signed up for the youth forum oral presentation within the Marine Biology and Fishery group to share my Master thesis research. My thesis, Diversity and Distribution of Algae and Protists in the Coastal Waters of Southern Taiwan, investigated the diversity as well as the temporal and spatial variations of harmful algal and protist communities using Kenting's seawater and seagrass samples. By incorporating Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) with DNA metabarcoding, my study evaluated a workflow for species-level identification of specific harmful algae that are difficult to distinguish under traditional light microscopy due to their close morphological similarities.
To my surprise and delight, I was awarded first prize in the Marine Biology and Fishery group. From the initial preparation to the oral presentation, the entire experience proved to be an invaluable experience in my development as a researcher. Since the conference audience included scientists from outside my immediate field, cramming my two-year results about the unseeable microscopic world into a 12-minute presentation was a massive challenge. I have therefore learnt how to frame my data as an engaging narration while maintaining absolute technical accuracy and scientific professionalism. Furthermore, the 3-minute Q&A session after the presentation was a test of adaptability. Although I had anticipated several potential questions during my preparation, the questions from the audience are still with unexpected angles. Learning to stay calm, organize my thoughts, and articulate a structured response within a tight time was intense, but the feedback I received gave me fresh perspectives that will directly improve the readiness and rigor of my final written thesis. Finally, transitioning out of our university laboratory and stepping into a national Taiwanese conference was incredibly eye-opening. I met brilliant peers from National Taiwan University (NTU), National Taiwan Ocean University (NTOU), and other institutions. Through exchanging ideas with them, this expanded both my academic perspective and network. This community of friends may be important if I want to continue my path on scientific academic works in the future.
Ultimately, I am deeply grateful for my time at IMEC. The professors here constantly encourage us to step out of our comfort zones and take on external challenges. Winning this prize wasn't just a reflection of my own hard work, it was a direct result of the immense time and mentorship invested in me. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor, the IMEC faculty, and my friends for their support throughout my academic journey.
