Bryozoans comprise a phylum of sessile, clonal animals, inhabiting marine and freshwater environments. Only around 90 species have been described from freshwater habitats, most belonging to the class Phylactolaemata. Phylactolaemates can propagate asexually by forming encapsulated dormant bodies called statoblasts, which provide characters highly useful in phylactolaemate taxonomy and identification. To date, 23 species of phylactolaemate species in ten genera have been reported from Japan, however their taxonomical review has been never reported. Furthermore, current taxonomy of phylactolaemates is heavily depending on the observation of statoblast microsculpture by using scanning electron microscopy, which causes difficulty of simple identification. In this paper, major characters of colony and statoblast for all species of Japanese freshwater bryozoans including both 23 phylactolaemates and three ctenostomes are summarized. A key to species based on colony and statoblast gross morphology is also provided for help in identification of freshwater bryozoans in various fields such as faunal survey and education.

Preliminary results of the deep-sea faunal survey conducted from the TR/V Seisui-maru of Mie University in April 2019 are presented. A total of 20 taxonomists and ecologists working on a wide variety of animal taxa participated in this survey. Surveyed areas included the Kumano Sea(off Mie Prefecture)and south of the Kii Strait(off Tanabe Bay, Wakayama Prefecture), at depths of 112-775 m. Sampling gears employed were beam trawl and biological dredge. The collection is represented by macrobenthos and meiobenthos from nine animal phyla, including echinoderms, arthropods, molluscans and annelids. The number of phyla occurring in each station varied from seven to eight. The station with most diverse fauna at the phylum level was St. 3B(south of the Kii Strait, 775-661 m depth, mud bottom).Meiofauna includes priapulids, nematodes and small arthropods such as copepods, tanaidaceans, amphipods, isopods and cumaceans. In addition to freeliving species, cnidarians symbiotic on a gastropod and an antipatharian, and crustaceans parasitic on a fi sh and sea urchins were also collected. Preliminary identifi cations are given for Asteroidea, Ophiuroidea, Holothuroidea, Crinoidea, Cyclopoida, Siphonostomatoida, Tanaidacea, Isopoda, Decapoda, Mollusca, polychaetes, Bryozoa, Cnidaria and Nemertea.
