The fish fauna in the middle and lower reaches of Sakura River flowing into Lake Kasumigaura was investigated with casting nets, hand nets and scoop nets in May, July, and October 2020 and from April to October 2021, and compared with data from previous studies conducted in 1984–1987, 1996–2002 and 2010–2015. A total of 36 fish species in 11 families, including 20 introduced exotic and Japanese species and 16 native species, were collected in 2020–2021. The analyses of long-term changes in presence/absence of fish species from the 1980s to the 2020s demonstrated the disappearance of four threatened species (three native bitterling species and the crucian carp Carassius buergeri subsp. 2) by various artificial environmental changes and a gradual increase in introduced exotic and Japanese species spreading mainly from Lake Kasumigaura.
