The diet of the critically endangered Ryukyu-ayu Plecoglossus altivelis ryukyuensis in the middle reaches of the Kawauchi, Sumiyo, and Yakugachi Rivers, Amami-oshima Island, southern Japan was examined by gut content analysis and inferred from stable isotope signatures. No clear differences in diet composition were apparent among the rivers. Microalgae, such as diatoms and cyanobacteria, generally considered as important food, were only rarely observed in gut contents, whereas detritus was almost exclusively found. However, stable isotope signatures indicated that detritus was not directly utilized as a nutritional source, indicating that food availability was an issue for P. a.ryukyuensis.

<p>A comparison of 68 specimens of <i>Plectranthias</i> (Serranidae: Anthiadinae) from Japanese waters with 85 Indo-Pacific specimens, all characterized by the fourth dorsal-fin spine longest, no branched pectoral-fin rays, two antrorse spines on the lower preopercular margin, the lateral line incomplete with fewer than 22 pored scales, and scales absent from the maxilla, revealed the former to include <i>P. longimanus</i> (Weber, 1913) [23 specimens, 8.5–28.4 mm standard length (SL)], <i>P. nanus</i> Randall, 1980 (38, 10.6–32.3 mm SL), and <i>P. winniensis</i> (Tyler, 1966) (7, 24.1–38.6 mm SL). Among the Japanese specimens, <i>P. longimanus</i> was similar to <i>P. nanus</i> in overall body appearance, but differed from the latter in having modally 12 pectoral-fin rays [vs. 13 in <i>P. nanus</i>], 15 gill rakers (vs. 17), 14 pored lateral-line scales (vs. 18), 26 or 27 scale rows in the longitudinal series (vs. 28), 8 scale rows below the lateral line (vs. 9), 3 interopercular spines (vs. spines absent), and 2 or 3 subopercular spines (vs. spines absent), a maximum body depth 34.1% (mean) of SL (vs. 28.6%), and a vertical band absent near the base of the caudal fin (vs. band present in both fresh and preserved specimens). Japanese <i>P. winniensis</i> clearly differed from the other two species, having 16 or 17 soft rays in both the dorsal and pectoral fins (vs. fewer than 15 rays in the latter two species), modally 16 pored lateral-line scales (vs. 14 in <i>P. longimanus</i>, 18 in <i>P. nanus</i>), subopercular spine absent (vs. 1–4 present in <i>P. longimanus</i>), and a greenishred body without dark blotches or bands (vs. reddish-brown body, mottled with dark blotches and bands). In addition, analyses of 12S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequences indicated that the three species were genetically distinct from each other. In Japanese waters, <i>P. longimanus</i> has been recorded from the Izu Peninsula and the Izu Islands to the Koshiki Islands, mainland Kagoshima, and the Ryukyu Islands, <i>P. winniensis</i> having a similar distribution pattern, i.e., from the Izu Islands south to the Ryukyu Islands. <i>Plectranthias nanus</i> has been recorded only from island groups, including the Ogasawara, Ryukyu, and Daito islands.</p>

Previous Japanese records of Chelidoperca margaritifera Weber, 1913 (Perciformes: Serranidae) were reviewed, and all available Japanese specimens previously reported as that species found to be either C. santosi Williams and Carpenter, 2015 or C. tosaensis Matsunuma, Yamakawa and Williams, 2017. No evidence was found of C. margaritifera occurring in Japanese waters, the species instead being known solely from the holotype, collected off New Guinea. Chelidoperca santosi is characterized by three scale rows between the lateral line and middle of the spinous dorsal-fin base; two pairs of dark spots on the snout; a pair of dark spots on the lower jaw tip; the interorbital scales just reaching or extending slightly beyond mid-orbit but not reaching level with the posterior nasal pores; scales on the mandibular ventral surface extending anteriorly onto the dentary; and enlarged canine-like teeth on both jaws, thereby being distinguished from all Japanese congeners [C. hirundinacea (Valenciennes in Cuvier and Valenciennes, 1831), C. pleurospilus (Günther, 1880) and C. tosaensis]. The standard Japanese name “Minamihimekodai” should be applied to C. santosi.

The reproductive ecology and early life history of the bagrid catfish, Pseudobagrus nudiceps, were investigated in the field and laboratory. The species reproduced between late June and early August in a tributary of the Kinokawa River, Wakayama Prefecture. During the reproductive period, large mature males maintained a territory around crevices along shoals and banks. Mating behavior was observed there and in an aquarium, the field observations being the first for any Asian bagrid. When a female visited a male's territory, a series of behavioral activities, including courting, embrace and egg-stirring by the female were observed. Females (115-137mm SL) produced 1200-3000 developed ovarian eggs, apparently spawning in the nests of several males. Parental males cared for the eggs by fanning and cleaning, using the pectoral and pelvic fins, and displayed aggressive behavior against fish approaching the nest. Spawned eggs were adhesive and between 2.5-2.7mm in diameter. The eggs hatched 2.5-3 days after fertilization at an average water temperature of 26°C. At 2 days posthatching, the larvae began to move at night, leaving the nest after 7 days. Brood parasitism by the Japanese minnow, Pungtungia herzi, was frequently observed in the nests of Pseudobagrus nudiceps.

The migratory histories of individual masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou collected from the Naka River, Tochigi, Japan were clarified from otolith strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) concentrations using X‒ray electron microprobe analysis. Mapping and line analysis indicated three migratory types of the species. In addition to the conventional types, such as freshwater resident and typical anadromous (spending one year in marine waters), a new migratory pattern of short marine term anadromous (remaining in marine waters for several months) was apparent. Detailed life histories of short marine term anadromous individuals were estimated from otolith Sr fluctuations and ageing, from both scale and otolith daily increments. Consequently, more than half of the Naka River population was estimated to migrate to a marine environment upon reaching a total length of 178‒252 mm (one year old) in December‒January, thereafter staying in marine waters for approximately five months, before returning to the river in May‒July at 345‒463 mm total length. These findings may help establish an enhancement method for this species as a recreational fishery stock. Future investigations, including tagging, verification of age evaluation methods, and gene analysis are necessary to confirm the existence of the short marine term anadromous form.

ウロコマグロの骨格系を記載した. それに基づいて, スズキ目に属する9科との比較を行い, ウロコマグロの系統的位置を考察した.ウロコマグロはサバ科魚類の特徴とみなされた13形質のうち12形質を保有していた.これに対して, サバ科以外のスズキ目魚類では, ウロコマグロとだけ共有されている形質はシイラ科の節骨以外に見出すことはできなかった.さらに, ウロコマグロには15の特異な形質が認められた.これらの形質は主に頭部に集中しており, これらの形質に基づいて単一の科を提唱することは本質的ではないと判断した. 以上のことから, ウロコマグロはサバ科に属すると結論した.ウロコマグロと他のサバ科魚類を比較すると, ウロゴマグロにはサバ科の原始的・派生的形質がモザイク状に分布していることが判明した. 先に述べた15の特異形質とサバ科魚類の形質状態がモザイク状に分布していることから, ウロコマグロは早い時期にサバ科の主幹から分化して独自の特化方向へむかったものと推論した.

Abstract We conducted underwater observations on courtship and spawning be-haviors of the tetrarogidid fish, Hypodytes rubripinnis in Kyushu Island, Japan. The reproductive behavior and seasonal changes of gonad somatic index on col-lected specimens showed that spawning occurred from late April to early August. Individuals of various sizes in both sexes reproduced in the study area. About 90 min before sunset, a male courted a female actively with several patterns of be-haviors such as male's lying by a female in a side-by-side position, display of his lateral side around a female, and male's riding on a female back. Finally, the pair swam toward 20 to 100 cm above the bottom to release gametes. Spawning time was around sunset. The average egg number in each spawning was about 1600. Upward rush of the pair to the middle water occurred very quickly. Frequent sneaking behavior by another male was also observed.

The stomiid snaggletooth genus Astronesthes Richardson, 1845, including 49 valid species distributed in tropical to temperate waters of all oceans, is characterized by the following combination of characters: anal fin with 11–22 rays; maxillary teeth comblike, closely spaced, and slanting rearward; and photophores in the ventral series arranged in regular intervals. To date, 13 species of the genus have been reported from Japanese waters. A single specimen of Astronesthes (111.9 mm in standard length) was collected in December 2020, during a mid-water trawl survey conducted by R/V Shunyo-Maru in the vicinity of the Ogasawara Islands, Japan. Subsequently identified as Astronesthes gemmifer Goode and Bean, 1896, the specimen clearly differed from all congeners in having the following combination of characters: four premaxillary fangs in the main row (vs. 5–6); the posteroventral part of the terminal bulb of the chin barbel black (vs. usually not black or terminal bulb absent); and the last six VAV (photophores from the inner-pelvic space to the end of the row posterior to the anal-fin origin) located above the anal fin (vs. 1–4). Although A. gemmifer has been often recorded from the North Atlantic, records from the South Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans are sparse. In the Pacific Ocean, the species has been recorded in Hawaiian waters from O‘ahu to the Hancock Seamounts, but not previously reported from Japanese waters, the present specimen representing the first Japanese record of A. gemmifer. The new standard Japanese name “Sumitsuki-tokagehadaka” is proposed for the species.

A single specimen [226 mm in standard length (SL)] of a haemulid fish collected from Iriomote-jima Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, in 2012, was identified as Diagramma melanacrum Johnson and Randall, 2001, characterized by the following combination of characters: third dorsal-fin spine longest; first dorsal-fin spine length 45 % of second dorsal-fin spine length; pelvic-fin length 23.9 % SL; 57 lateral-line scales; and dorsal 3/4 of caudal fin yellow with many dark spots, and pelvic, anal and remainder of caudal fin black when fresh. The species has been recorded previously from the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia (Kalimantan and Bali to West Papua), the Timor Sea and Japan (Miyako-jima and Ishigaki-jima Islands, Okinawa). However, because both Japanese records were based on photographs, the Iriomote-jima Island specimen represents the first reliable, specimen-based record of D. melanacrum from Japan, an extension of its known northernmost range. The new standard Japanese name “Hireguro-korodai” is proposed for the species.

A specimen (39.1 mm standard length) of the genus Ostorhinchus Lacepède, 1802, collected from Ishigaki-jima Island, the Ryukyu Archipelago, southern Japan, was identified as Ostorhinchus hartzfeldii (Bleeker, 1852). The specimen showed characteristic coloration of the species, including the following features: four slightly wavy longitudinal silver lines on the head and body, the dorsalmost running along the dorsal body margin to the caudal fin base, and the others terminating on the trunk or caudal peduncle; the entire body base color brown; all fins slightly reddish, transparent; a dark spot on the caudal fin base, of similar size to the pupil. Ostorhinchus hartzfeldii is similar to Ostorhinchus cookii (Macleay, 1881), Ostorhinchus nigrofasciatus (Lachner, 1953), and Ostorhinchus taeniophorus (Regan, 1908), but differs from them by having only the dorsalmost longitudinal silver line reaching the caudal fin base (vs. three or four lines reaching the fin base in the other three species) and absence of a longitudinal silver line on the ventrolateral aspect of the trunk (vs. present). Ostorhinchus hartzfeldii is distributed in the western Pacific, from the South China Sea to Australia, but had not previously been recorded from Japanese waters. A photographic record of the species from Ishigaki-jima Island is also included. The new standard Japanese name “Sazanami-ishimochi” is proposed, a reference to the slightly wavy silver lines that disappear with growth, based on the specimen collected from Ishigaki-jima Island.

Distribution of the salangid fish, Neosalanx reganius Wakiya et Takahasi was investigated in the rivers around Ariake Sound which is located in western Kyushu. They were only found in the Chikugo River and the Midori River located about 50km apart from each other and were regarded to be endemic to those rivers. They inhabit the tidal area of the downstream occur-ring mainly in fresh water, although some are found in the waters having low seawater con-centration near the mouth of the rivers. Morphological examination revealed no meristic difference, but some statistically significant differences in the body proportions between the two populations indicating their entire isolation from each other.
