I graduated from the Kangwon National University in 2009. My thesis focused on identification and characterization of the sex pheromone of the Korea salamander (Hynobius leechii). I am currently a PhD candidate, conducting research on the white sturgeon’s sex pheromone. Due to habitat destruction, some populations of white sturgeon are listed as endangered species under the endangered species Act in 1994. I am interesting in their sex pheromones which stimulates the white sturgeon’s sexual behavior during the breeding season. We don’t have much information about Chemical communication in white sturgeon, and this research may provide fisheries managers a tool for conservation.
