During an ichthyofaunal survey of Sagami Bay (Japan) and surrounding waters, a single hawkfish specimen (55.7 mm standard length: SL) was collected from Izu-oshima Island, Izu Islands by handnet at a depth of 35 m on 7 December 2011. The specimen was subsequently identified as Cirrhitichthys guichenoti (Sauvage, 1880), having the following combination of characters: dorsal-fin rays X, 13; anal-fin rays III, 7; pectoral-fin rays 16, uppermost and lower six rays unbranched; lateral-line scales 52; horizontal scale rows between base of middle dorsal-fin spinous portion and lateral line 4; gill rakers 5 + 12; greatest body depth 31.1% of SL; snout length 35.6% of head length; enlarged canine teeth on front of upper jaw and central part of lower jaw; and lateral surface of body white with large brownish-red blotches when fresh. This species has been previously recorded from Indonesia, Mauritius, Réunion, Madagascar, Comoros and South Africa, the present specimen from Izu-oshima Island representing the first specimen-based record from the northern hemisphere and northernmost record for the species. Seventeen underwater observations (photographic and visual) from 8 November 2011 to 25 May 2021 of juvenile and adult (ca. 35–100 mm in total length) C. guichenoti, documented from Izu Peninsula, Izu-oshima Island, and Chichi-jima Islands, Ogasawara Islands, and encompassing both the coldest and hottest seasons, suggest that the population is established and reproducing in Japanese waters. The new standard Japanese name “Kiringombe” is proposed for the species, based on the present specimen.

<p>Hybrids of <i>Rhinogobius biwaensis</i> and <i>Rhinogobius</i> sp. BF were identified in the ponds of Sento Imperial Palace, Kyoto City, Japan, from microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers. Mitochondrial DNA analysis indicated that five of seven <i>Rhinogobius</i> specimens had <i>R. biwaensis</i> haplotypes, the remaining specimens having those of <i>Rhinogobius</i> sp. BF. In DAPC and STRUCTURE analyses based on microsatellite data, all specimens examined showed intermediate status between <i>R. biwaensis</i> and <i>Rhinogobius</i> sp. BF, the two species being considered to have formed a hybrid swarm in the ponds because genetically pure individuals of either were not found. This is the first report of recent hybridization under field conditions in <i>Rhinogobius</i> fishes from Japan, confirmed by nuclear and mitochondrial DNA data. Hybrid <i>Rhinogobius</i> specimens from the ponds had 5–17 predorsal scales, an intermediate range between those of non-hybrid <i>R. biwaensis</i> (0–6) and <i>Rhinogobius</i> sp. BF (11–20). However, in appearance they were more similar to <i>R. biwaensis</i> than <i>Rhinogobius</i> sp. BF, having bluish-white distal coloring anteriorly on the first and second dorsal fins, a reduced reddish longitudinal band on the anal fin, and lacking yellowish dorsal and posterior margins on the caudal fin. However, they differed from <i>R. biwaensis</i> in having a narrower white posterior caudal fin margin. Further morphological differentiation of the hybrid specimens was not apparent.</p>

A single specimen (636.0 mm disc width) of the Pink Whipray Pateobatis fai (Jordan and Seale, 1906) (Dasyatidae) was collected off the south coast of the Satsuma Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. Although the tail had been removed after capture, the specimen was subsequently identified based on disc morphology and molecular analysis. In Japanese waters, the species has previously been recorded only from Chichi Island (Ogasawara Islands), Okinawa Island (Okinawa Islands), and Iriomote Island (Yaeyama Islands), The present specimen, described here in detail, therefore representing the first record of P. fai from the Japanese mainland, and the northernmost record for the species.

The pipehorse genus Solegnathus Swaison, 1839 is divided into two subgenera, Solegnathus Swaison, 1839 (superior trunk ridge discontinuous, with superior tail ridge) and Runcinatus Whitley, 1929 (ridges continuous), the former including Solegnathus (Solegnathus) hardwickii (Gray, 1830), S. (S.) lettiensis Bleeker, 1860, S. (S.) spinosissimus (Günther, 1870), and S. (S.) robustus McCulloch, 1911, and the latter, S. (Runcinatus) dunckeri Whitley, 1927. Of these five species, only S. (S.) hardwickii and S. (S.) lettiensis, have been recorded to date from Japanese waters, the latter being known from only two specimens [259.6 mm and 284.6 mm total length (TL)], both reported from the middle of the Okinawa Trough, southern East China Sea in 1978. However, a single specimen (KAUM–I. 182558, 367.0 mm TL) of S. (S.) lettiensis was found on a beach on Kamikoshiki-shima Island, Koshiki Islands, northern East China Sea, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan in December 2022, probably a discarded bycatch from a deepwater bottom trawl fishery operating off the island. The specimen was characterized by having the superior trunk ridge discontinuous, with a superior tail ridge; opercular membrane without bony side platelets; body surface mainly tuberculate; length of dorsal-fin base 1.41 in head length; 23 trunk rings; and 74 total rings, and its identification confirmed after comparison with the two previously-collected specimens (above). The former, representing the second Japanese record and northernmost record of S. (S.) lettiensis, is described herein in detail, and the new standard Japanese name “Shinkai-sumitsuki-yoji” proposed for the species.

The stomiid snaggletooth genus Astronesthes Richardson, 1844 comprises nine species groups (including 40 valid species), plus a further eight species independent of the groups. Among them, the Astronesthes cyanea species group (seven species) is distinguished from all other species by having the following characters: e.g., 42‒50 total vertebrae, 16‒21 dorsal-fin rays, a relatively long chin barbel (but rudimentary in three species), 3 or 4 photophores (part of the ventral row below the pectoral fin) forming an arch, and prominent luminous tissue on the operculum in large specimens. Two specimens (84.6 and 111.1 mm in standard length) belonging to this species group, collected off the Yaeyama and Ogasawara Islands, Japan, were identified as Astronesthes formosana Liao, Chen and Shao, 2006. Although the original description of A. formosana, which noted its close resemblance to Astronesthes indopacifica Parin and Borodulina, 1997, considered the former to differ from the latter in having prominent luminous patch on the lower jaw (vs. absent), a slightly swollen or rounded tip on the chin barbel (vs. slender and simple), prominent luminous tissue on the lower part of the operculum, extending to the lower end of the maxilla [vs. restricted to the middle part of the operculum (in >50 mm standard length specimens)], numerous scalelike spots or prominent patches dorsally on the head and body (vs. sparse), and the upper nostril with more a pair prominent or smearlike luminous patches (vs. a single pair prominent luminous patches), no significant differences were found between the two species in prominent luminous tissue on the operculum, and scalelike spots or prominent patches dorsally on the head (including upper nostril) and body. In addition, the barbel tip shape was found to be of inconclusive value for separating the two species, leaving the presence or absence of prominent luminous patch on the lower jaw as the only valid distinguishing characteristic. Because the features of the two Japanese specimens agreed closely with those in the original description of A. formosana, they were identified as that species, being the first record of the latter from Japanese waters. The new standard Japanese name “Taiwan-tokagegisu” is proposed for the species.

The genetic population structure of the mudskipper Boleophthalmus pectinirostris was investigated based on nucleotide sequence data from the mitochondrial control region (472 bp) of 131 individuals collected from four localities in Ariake Bay, two in Yatsushiro Bay, Kyushu, Japan, one in Korea (Suncheon) and one in China (Zhe Jiang). A total of 53 composite haplotypes were observed from 49 permutation sites. The estimated haplotype tree and pairwise Fst showed genetic differentiation among the Suncheon, Zhe Jiang and Japanese populations. The structures of the haplotype tree and network, and low genetic diversity of the Japanese populations compared to that at Zhe Jiang suggested that a bottleneck effect had occurred in the former after being isolated from the continental population by rising sea levels (i. e., relictual species). Based on the number of unique haplotypes in the Japanese populations and nucleotide substitution rate, the estimate of the divergence time for the Japanese and Zhe Jiang populations was much greater than that expected for the apparently relictual species distributed in Ariake Bay. The Ariake and Yatsushiro populations formed a single group in the haplotype tree, although the estimate of pairwise Fst showed a significant difference between the populations, probably associated with the differences in frequency of the most dominant haplotype. Accordingly, the two populations seemed to be genetically differentiated from each other, probably due to the geographical isolation.

Three juvenile specimens of Odontanthias borbonius were collected from Suruga Bay (2 specimens, 20.0–23.4 mm standard length (SL), 95–100 m depth) and Okinawa (23.7 mm SL, 180 m depth), Japan. Because little is known of juvenile morphology of the species, the specimens are described and compared with adults from Japan. Fresh coloration of the juveniles was similar to that of adults, being characterized by a pale pink body and large yellow spots. Following fixation, the juvenile coloration was lost, although black pigment vesicles scattered in the former positions of the yellow spots indicated that O. borbonius can be distinguished from all other congeners, which lack such spots. Juveniles of the former had a large, smooth, interopercular spine, the supraocular ridge with serrations, and serrated posttemporal spines.

Phylogeographic analysis of the bitterling Tanakia limbata in western Japan was conducted to identify the origin of the fish population in Ehime, Shikoku Island. A survey of rivers and spring-fed ponds on the Matsuyama Plain, Ehime, indicated that T. limbata had become distributed on the plain over a period of 19 years to the present day. Sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene indicated that the 42 individuals sampled included 4 haplotypes, which were shared with a T. limbata population in the Yabe River, Fukuoka, Kyushu Island. All 4 haplotypes belonged to the West Kyushu group of T. limbata. On the other hand, T. limbata comprising the West Seto clade inhabits western Honshu and eastern Kyushu, which regions shared the same paleoriver system with Ehime 20,000 years BP. These results suggest that individuals of T. limbata presently collected in Ehime originated from the Yabe River or adjacent waters, having artificially transported over the mountain chain that may act as a natural barrier separating the West Kyushu and West Seto groups. To conserve an endangered native bitterling, T. lanceolata, in Ehime, management of the introduced T. limbata, so as to prevent competition and hybridization with the former, is necessary.

The striped goby was characterized by having more than 50 scales in a longitudinal row and 2 black longitudinal bands from the head to the tail. It has been regarded as 1 species since Tomiyarna (1936) grouped several nominal species into one, <I>Tridentiger trigonocephalus</I> (Gill, 1858). But detailed study has revealed that it can be classified into 2 separate species, <I>T. trigonocephalus</I> and <I>Tridentiger bifasciatus</I> Steindachner, 1881, on the basis of the difference mainly in the forms of the sensory canals and pectoral fins and in the coloration. <I>T. trigonocephalus</I> has been collected from Hokkaido to Kyushu in Japan, and in Korea, China, and Hong Kong abroad. It has immigrated into both California, U.S.A., and New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. <I>T. bifasciatus</I> has been collected in the same area as <I>T. trigonocephalus</I> in Japan, and in the Soviet Union, Korea, China, and Taiwan abroad. Both species inhabit brackish and sea water with stony bottoms, and are often found in the same place. However, <I>T. trigonocephalus</I> has seldom been found in very dilute brackish water, and <I>T. bifasciatus</I> has not been found in undiluted sea water. The type specimen of <I>T. trigonocephalus</I> has not been found, but the identification to <I>T. trigonocephalus</I> was decided on the basis of the closeness of the numbers of the 2nd dorsal and anal fin rays to those of the original description, which were 14 and 13, respectively. In addition, the type specimen was collected in the port of Hong Kong, where the water is not diluted and is unlikely to be suitable as habitat for <I>T. bifasciatus</I>.

The carangid genus Decapterus Bleeker, 1851 is characterized by single finlets behind both the second dorsal and anal fins, no scutes along the anterior curved part of the lateral line, two low papillae on the shoulder girdle, and a well-developed adipose eyelid. Members of the genus are distributed in tropical to temperate areas of the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans, and are commercially important food fishes. Four species (D. akaadsi Abe, 1958, D. kurroides Bleeker, 1855, D. smithvanizi Kimura, Katahira and Kuriiwa, 2013 and D. tabl Berry, 1968), characterized by a red caudal fin, are included in the red-fin Decapterus group. In 2016 and 2018, three specimens [216–304 mm in standard length (SL)] of D. kurroides, previously recorded from the Red Sea and east coast of Africa to the east coast of Australia and the Philippines, were collected from Kumano-nada, Pacific coast of Mie Prefecture, Japan. Additionally, a single specimen (191 mm SL) collected from Japanese waters in the East China Sea (west of Kyushu) in 2006 was also identified as D. kurroides. The specimens represent the first records of the species from Japanese waters, the Kumano-nada specimens being the northernmost record for the species. Decapterus kurroides is the most similar to D. akaadsi, but differs from the latter in the following characters: scutes more numerous on the straight part of the lateral line (30–32 vs. 26–29 in D. akaadsi), longer head (head length 29.9–33.0% SL vs. 26.7–30.1%) and longer snout-anus distance (55.8–60.4% SL vs. 51.2–54.6%) [measurements for both species modified from Kimura et al., (2013)]. Decapterus kurroides is also distinguishable from D. smithvanizi and D. tabl by having fewer cycloid scales on the curved part of the lateral line (45–52 vs. 54–62 in D. smithvanizi, 61–72 in D. tabl) and a deeper body (body depth 23.4–27.2% SL vs. 19.4–22.5%, 16.6–23.0%). A new standard Japanese name “Kitsune-akaaji” is proposed for D. kurroides.

Increased turbidity is known to affect feeding of predatory fishes through its effect on prey color, but interactions between turbidity and prey color are not well documented. To determine the effects of turbidity, water temperature, and illuminance on lure color selected by rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), investigations were conducted in a fishing pond in Shiga Prefecture (Central Japan) for 11 days during July–October, 2016. Five fishing series with different lures were conducted on each day, eight differently colored lures being used in random order in each series (10-min trials × 8 colors). Generalized linear models, used to explain catch number variations per 10 min (0–6 individuals; Poisson distribution assumed), indicated that turbidity (1.0–13.6 NTU) significantly influenced lure color selection by rainbow trout. Results indicated that brown lures (followed by dark green, black, and gold lures) were most preferred in low turbidity, but least preferred when turbidity was high. In contrast, lures with a greater reflection intensity [pink, orange, and karashi (mustard yellow)] were moderately preferred, regardless of turbidity. Illuminance (1.2 × 102–2.9 × 105 lux) and water temperature (15.2– 25.5˚C) did not affect lure color selected by rainbow trout, but both parameters negatively impacted the number of individuals captured per 10 min. The findings highlighted the importance of environmental conditions (particularly turbidity) on prey preference by predatory fishes.

Five specimens of scaleless dragonfish of the genus Melanostomias (Stomiidae: Melanostomiinae) were collected off the Ogasawara Islands, southern Japan and Fukushima Prefecture, Pacific coast of northern Japan. The specimens conformed to Melanostomias nigroaxialis Parin and Pokhilskaya, 1978 as follows: tips of the upper and lower jaw teeth bifurcated; chin barbel distally expanded from midpoint, the dorsal and ventral expanded areas membranous and transparent, and including small luminous bodies; a single ovoid body without a terminal filament on terminal part of chin barbel; distinct luminous patch on dorsal surface of head absent; and axis of chin barbel almost entirely black, except terminal part. However, the present specimens had a shorter chin barbel than noted in the original description of M. nigroaxialis. Because a plot of barbel lengths (as % of standard length) versus standard length of the present specimens and three specimens examined in the original description indicated that barbel lengths tended to decrease with growth, the difference in barbel length between the two groups of specimens was consistent with intraspecific variation. In addition, the present specimens had different numbers of VAV, AC, IC, VAL and OA photophores compared with the original description of M. nigroaxialis, although the ranges were less than the those in many congeneric species, also indicative of intraspecific variation. Consequently, the present specimens were identified as M. nigroaxialis, previously known only from the Banda Sea, southern Philippines Sea and northern New Zealand. This is the northernmost record of M. nigroaxialis, and first from Japanese waters. The new standard Japanese name “Tomoshibi-kanten-tokagegisu” is proposed for this species.

The geographical distributions of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplo-types in non-indigenous populations of a freshwater goby, Tridentiger brevispinis, were investigated. Although 26 mtDNA haplotypes were obtained from 168 individuals (including a closely-related species, T. obscurus) representing 36 indigenous populations, only two haplotypes (I-Al and III-B1) were found in 59 individuals of T.brevispinis from 12 non-indigenous populations. Many of the latter had the I-Al haplotype, thepopulations being located near indigenous populations having the same haplotype. A non-indigenous population in Lake Biwa had the III-B1 haplotype, the lake being close to the natural distribution area of that haplo-type. Thus, the non-indigenous populations of T. brevispinis may have become es-tablished following artificial transplantations from nearby populations. The III-B 1 haplotype, however, was also scattered throughout geographically-distant, non-in-digenous populations, its dispersal possibly having been a consequence of trans-plantation of Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), from Lake Biwa, accompanied by T. brevispinis. However, the primary cause of the expansion of non-indigenous goby populations retains unclear.

Japanese char Salvelinus leucomaenis, red-spotted masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae, hybrid individuals were collected from a tributary of the Ibigawa River, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The char and hybrids were mainly distributed in the headwater area where eyed eggs of red-spotted masu salmon are released in each year. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the morphological features of parental and hybrid individuals indicated that hybrid body shape was similar to that of char. Partial nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial DNA indicated the female parental species to be red-spotted masu salmon, without exception. Genotyping of three loci of short interspersed repetitive elements (SINE) of inserted alleles showed all hybrid individuals to be F1, with no evidence of backcrossing. These results indicated that the introduced red-spotted masu salmon hybridized with male char, with a high survival rate of sterile F1 offspring.

Freshwater-fish fauna of the Minami River system, Reinan Region, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, was investigated in 1998. Forty-five species in 14 families (including those newly recorded, such as Rhinogobius flumineus) were identified in the present research. Combined with data previously reported, a total of 55 species in 16 families, which included 36 primary and diadromous freshwater species (11 families), composed the fish fauna that could be considered naturally distributed in this river system. Compared to the richer fish fauna in western Japan regions, that of the Minami River system, representative of the Reinan Region, is poorer, and composed of peripheral fish fauna. The construction of many weirs and dams along the river system have prevented fish migration, causing more or less distinct fish assemblages to form in each of the upper, middle and lower reaches. Also, a number of species which inhabit small tributaries and/or irrigation channels in the Minami River System, such as Tanakia limbata, Acheilognatus tabira subsp.1 (sensu Hosoya, 1993), Lefua echigonia, Oryzias latipes, and the `nagare-hotokedojo'L. sp.(sensu Hosoya, 1993), have been threatened with extinction.

<p>During an ichthyofaunal survey of southwestern Satsuma Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, a single pompano specimen (748.0 mm standard length, 814.0 mm fork length) was collected by set net at a depth of 20 m on 24 November 2018. The specimen was subsequently identified as <i>Trachinotus anak</i> Ogilby, 1909, having the following combination of characters: dorsal-fin rays VI-I, 18; anal-fin rays II-I, 16; snout profile essentially straight immediately above upper lip; upper lip separated from snout by a continuous deep groove; a narrow band of villiform teeth on lower jaw; teeth on tongue absent; supraoccipital bone thin and blade-like; nasal and lacrimal bones hyperossified; first supraneural bone an inverted "L" shape; first to third ribs hyperossified; no distinct pattern (e.g., blotches or bands) on lateral body surface; and anal-fin lobe yellow, the anterior margin lacking brownish coloration. Because of the superficial similarity of <i>T. anak</i> to <i>T. mookalee</i> Cuvier, 1832, differentiation between the species sometimes requiring dissection, previous Japanese records of <i>T. mookalee</i> were re-examined. <i>Trachinotus mookalee</i> was confirmed as occurring in Japanese waters, but is known only from a single specimen from Miyazaki Prefecture, east coast of Kyushu, southern Japan. <i>Trachinotus anak</i> was previously known only from Taiwan, northern and eastern Australia, and New Caledonia, the present specimen from Kagoshima representing the first record from Japan and northernmost record for the species. The new standard Japanese name "Yokozunamarukoban" is herein proposed for the species.</p>
