About

Hiroshi Ueda is a leading figure in fish behavioral ecology, best known for his pioneering work on the homing migration of lacustrine salmon. His research integrates biotelemetry and endocrinology to unravel the sensory and physiological mechanisms that guide salmon from open waters back to their natal spawning grounds. His most-cited paper, "Recent biotelemetry research on lacustrine salmon homing migration" (2004, 14 citations), is considered a foundational review that synthesizes decades of field and lab work, highlighting the challenges and breakthroughs in tracking these remarkable journeys. Ueda’s contributions have not only advanced our understanding of salmon navigation—including the roles of olfactory imprinting and magnetic cues—but also provided critical insights for conservation and fisheries management. Though his citation counts reflect a niche but deeply impactful field, his work is highly regarded among fish biologists and ecologists. By combining cutting-edge tracking technology with rigorous experimental design, Ueda has helped transform the study of animal migration, inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore the hidden lives of fish.
