新標本室
由海科院11位老師共同打造的三間海洋生物科技與多樣性展示室,於2019年9月10日於中山大學海洋生物科技暨資源學系一樓舉辦開幕儀式後正式啟用,歡迎各機關團體、教育單位及一般民眾組團申請參訪,享受一場豐盛的海洋知識與生物科技結合的深度探索之旅。
本系於1994年7月及1998年11月分別建立第一、第二陳列標本室,以陳列歷年本系學生活動「南海岸生態研習隊」所採集與製作的海洋生物標本,展示內容包括甲殼類(螃蟹、蝦子、寄居蟹等)、棘皮動物(海膽、海星、陽隧足等)、螺貝類、魚類、珊瑚、藻類及礦物共七百餘件標本,
並同時對外開放參訪,供各級學校、機關團體及民眾教學、參觀使用。在網路資源及海洋研究尚未發達的時空背景下,實體標本與系上師生的專業解說,成功的將海洋教育以寓教於樂方式傳遞出去。
至今(2019年),本系標本室開放已逾25年,有紀錄以來超過313所國、高中及小學申請戶外教學參訪,共計18,613人次前來參觀;此外,標本室在本系歷年來學生自發性舉辦的海資週、海底小遊龍等對外教學活動中也扮演益發重要的角色,讓學生們在規劃活動及設計創意教學時有更多發揮與想像的空間。
可惜的是,標本不敵歲月的摧殘,大都已出現風化、退色甚至毀損狀態,陪著許多海資人走過青春歲月的標本室,雖然不捨,但是必須面臨重整與轉型的時刻了。在獲得鄭校長英耀及李院長賢華的大力支持,廖主任志中的帶領下,本系標本室於2018年開始重新整修,結合橫跨生物、生態、與生物科技等不同研究領域的11位老師共同規劃,未來將結合生物/非生物、生物生態/生物科技等標本、模型及海報,搭配知識、視覺、美學及空間布置等元素,以主題方式呈現生物多樣性、現代生物科技與生醫製藥產業於海洋資源的開發與應用,將海洋資源應用與研究的神秘樣貌,以最科普的方式呈現在大眾面前。

Old Specimen Rooms
There are three specimen rooms at National Sun Yat-sen University’s Department of Marine Biotechnology and Resources: the First Specimen Exhibition Room, the Second Specimen Exhibition Room, and the Research Specimen Room.
The First Specimen Exhibition Room and the Research Specimen Room were established in July 1994. The First Specimen Exhibition Room currently displays 116 algae specimens, 138 crustacean specimens, and 152 mineral specimens.
The Second Specimen Exhibition Room was established in November 1998. At present, it holds 314 shellfish specimens and 11 others, including sea urchins, sea dragons, coral, polyps, starfish, and brittle stars. The Research Specimen Room is mainly for educational and research use and is not currently open to the public.
Most specimens are sourced from the department’s annual South-Coast Ecological Research Team activities; student research in coastal areas such as Chiayi, Liuqiu Island, and Kenting; and fish markets in the Kaohsiung-Pingtung area. From collection to preparation, everything is done by students themselves. Although the specimens are not rare or precious, the collection is a labor of love by the students.
Originally intended only for educating students within the department, the First Specimen Exhibition Room was opened to the public during the university’s anniversary celebration in 1994. Later, due to visitations from other schools, it was decided to formally open the room to the public, allowing field trips and visits from primary and secondary schools as well as the public. So far, the First Specimen Exhibition Room has welcomed field trips from approximately 130 schools, with a cumulative attendance of over 16000. Department faculty or students provide guided tours for all visiting groups.
Due to generous donations of specimens from students as well as members of the public who heard of the Specimen Room from the newspaper (thanks to Mr. Yi-Hsin Hsu of Gushan and Mr. Li-Yuan Lin of Cijin for their donations of biological specimens, and also to Mr. Yung-Sheng Cheng for his help with procuring a donation of east-coast minerals from the Eastern District Office, Bureau of Mine, MOEA), the First Specimen Exhibition Room was unable to accommodate any more specimens, so in 1996 the department made a plan to build the Second Specimen Exhibition Room. However, due to insufficient funds, it could not be carried out until National Sun Yat-sen University made a special allocation of funds for the expansion. That same year, during the university’s anniversary celebration, Prof. Wei-Chi Liu, NSYSU President, and Prof. Der-Duen Sheu, Dean of the College of Marine Sciences, cut the ribbon to officially open the Second Specimen Exhibition Room, which would provide richer field trip experiences to primary and secondary students as well as the community at large.
