日本の固有種イタセンパラ(コイ科タナゴ亜科)は, その狭い分布域と絶滅の危機から, 天然記念物と絶滅危惧IA類に位置づけられている。本種を河川の中で保護・増殖するためには, 本種と本種が卵を産みつける二枚貝が繁殖する環境の特徴を明らかにする必要がある。そこで今回は, 淀川に生息するイタセンパラと生息環境に関するこれまでの研究をレビューした。また, 文化庁と環境庁の許可を得て, 本種の産卵, 貝内の卵・仔魚のはじめての写真を掲載した。本種は秋に産卵し, 仔魚はほぼ半年の間貝内で越冬した後に泳出する。淀川のイタセンパラの本来の繁殖場所は, 下流域に発達した河川内氾濫原に存在する池(通称ワンド)の中でも, 本流から隔離された小型の浅い池であることが示唆された。それらの池の水位は, 伏流水を通じて本流の水位と同調して変動する。そのため, 池には本流水が冠水し直接流入する時期(増水時)と氾濫原内に低水位で孤立する時期(減水時)が季節的に繰り返される。イタセンパラの繁殖に関する生態学的研究は, この観点にたって行なうことが重要である。The Japanese endemic bitterling, Acheilognathus longipinnis Regan was designated as both a natural monument and a critically endangered species for the reason of its restricted distribution and a sense of crisis of extinction in Japan. It is evident that the investigations on habitats of A. longipinnis and mussels were necessary for the purpose of preservation of the bitterling. In this paper, we summarized the studies that were carried out at the Yodo River, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The first photographs of egg deposition into a mussel and eggs/larvae in the mussel were also published by permission both of the Agency for Cultural Affirs and the Environmental Agency. A. longipinnis deposittheir eggs in autumn, and larvae swim out from the mussel in May and early June, after passing the winter in the mussel during a half year. It was suggested that A. longipinnis mainly reproduced in small and shallow pools in the floodplain formed in the lower reach of the Yodo River. The floodplain pools where isolated from the main channel were filled occasionally by river flooding mainly in early summer and autumn. On the other hand, a small water body was remained in the pools through groundwater seepage in the lower water state of the river in winter. We must reseach the habitats both of A. longipinnis and mussels from the viewpoint of seasonal fluctuations in water level of the floodplain pools.

The age composition of 101 individuals of Oguranodonta ogurae, which were collected in a small pond at Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture in the late autumn of 1998, was determined by examination of the annual gorwth-interruption lines. Individuals with 5 growth-interruption lines (i. e. 6 years old) were most abundant, and there were only 5 individuals younger than 5 years old. The scarcity of young individuals may be due to the heavy drought occurred in the summer of 1994. Based on the assumption of the stable age distribution, a life table was estimated. The estimated generation time was 6.3 years.
