The North American channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, an invasive freshwater fish introduced to Japan for aquaculture in the 1970s, has become established in several rivers and lakes, with subsequent detrimental effects on local fisheries and other freshwater fauna. The origin and invasive distribution of channel catfish in Japan was assessed from the geographical distribution of mtDNA haplotypes of channel catfish populations, utilizing partial (412 bp) nucleotide sequences of the mtDNA control region from 174 individuals collected from 7 localities. A total of 12 haplotypes (J01–J12) were found in Japanese freshwater systems. Populations in eastern Japan (Fukushima and Ibaraki Prefectures) and a fishing pond in Aichi Prefecture were characterized by many haplotypes, shared among those localities. However, the haplotype compositions of populations in western Japan (Yahagi River, Aichi Prefecture and Lake Biwa water system, Shiga Prefecture) differed from the former and also from each other. A phylogenetic analysis using Japanese (nonindigenous), Chinese (non-indigenous) and United States (indigenous) haplotypes indicated that all of the Asian haplotypes were included in "Lineage VI," distributed over a wide area of the United States, confirming that lineage as the primary source of introduced Asian populations. However, the introduction of channel catfish into Japan occurred on at least three occasions (in eastern Japan, Yahagi River and Lake Biwa water system).

<p>Two specimens (227.8–251.7 mm standard length) of the rare grouper <i>Cephalopholis polleni</i> (Bleeker, 1868) were collected off Okinawa-jima and Ishigaki-jima islands, Ryukyu Islands, the species having previously been known from scattered insular localities in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, including the Ryukyu Islands between the Amami and Yaeyama Islands. Although a single specimen of <i>C. polleni</i> had been previously obtained from a fish market in Naha, Okinawa-jima Island, its capture locality was unknown and the specimen is now apparently lost. All other Japanese records of the species were based solely on photographs. Accordingly, the present specimens of <i>C. polleni</i>, described here in detail, from Okinawa-jima and Ishigaki-jima islands represent important specimen-based records of the species from Japan, being the first with precise locality data. A review of previous distribution records of <i>C. polleni</i> from Japanese waters is also provided.</p>

A single specimen of Photoblepharon palpebratum (Boddaert, 1781), formerly limited to the tropical western Pacific, was collected from Okinawa Island, Japan at a depth of 1 m. The specimen was characterized by the following combination of characters: single dorsal fin with 3 spines; a black shutter lifting to cover the subocular organ; a large white spot on the dorsal corner of the opercle; pelvic-fin rays I, 6. The tiny first dorsalfin spine was identified from a radiograph. The specimen represents the first record of P. palpebratum from Japan and is the northernmost record of the species. The specimen produced a total of 273 eggs, but those were probably postmaturity.

Twenty-seven individuals of Lateolabrax latus (165.7–691.5 mm in total length), a species normally associated with a rocky offshore habitat in southern Japan, were collected from July to October 2009 in the lower reaches of rivers in Yaku-shima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan by hook and line. Furthermore, schools of immature individuals were observed around hard structures (including rocks and tetrapods) or in riffle zones in the rivers, L. latus clearly making active use of river environments in Yaku-shima Island during its life history. Because a detailed morphological description of the species has not been given since its original description, the specimens from Yakushima Island are described and compared with other congeners. Characters of the former agreed closely with the original diagnosis of L. latus. Some individuals less than 200 mm standard length had tiny scattered spots, smaller than those on other congeners, on the region above the lateral line. Specimens from the Ambo River represent the southernmost record of the species.

<p>The species of <i>Mugilogobius</i> sp. (Japanese name: Izumi-haze) and <i>M. chulae</i> are both common species, sympatrically inhabiting the estuaries and tidal flats of Okinawajima Island. Some species of <i>Mugilogobius</i> has a urea cycle, and their processing ability is higher, especially in northern distributed species, such as <i>M. abei</i> and <i>Mugilogobius</i> sp. It is possible to differentiate their life history traits and habitats on the basis of urea processing ability. However, because little is known in detail of their life history and habitat, <i>Mugilogobius</i> sp. and <i>M. chulae</i> were investigated through monthly sampling conducted on the southern part of the Sashiki Tidal flat and Manko Wetland on Okinawa-jima Island, from January 2012 to January 2013. The spawning seasons of <i>Mugilogobius</i> sp. and <i>M. chulae</i> are from January to October and April to October, respectively, with peaks in the summer period (April to October), indicating that maturity in both species is closely related to changes in water temperature. A comparison with the spawning season of <i>M. abei</i>, a temperate region species, revealed the subtropical species to spawn over a longer period. Estimates of daily age from otolith analyses indicated the possibility of recruitment from other areas, since histological observations revealed mismatches of gonads and birthmonths between different spawning seasons, as estimated by back-calculations of daily age. The longevity of <i>Mugilogobius</i> species was about six months. The study also revealed the growth rate of <i>Mugilogobius</i> sp. to be similar to that of <i>M. chulae</i>. <i>Mugilogobius chulae</i> locally inhabited mangrove habitats, whereas <i>Mugilogobius</i> sp. showed wide habitat use and was less susceptible to decreasing habitat than the former. Accordingly, future conservation of <i>M. chulae</i> is dependent upon suitable mud habitat associated with mangroves.</p>

To clarify the distribution during spawning and spawning habitat of Itasenpara bitterling (Acheilognathus longipinnis), one of the most endangered freshwater fish species in Japan, the habitats of mature individuals and freshwater mussels (Unio douglasiae nipponensis) were investigated in the Moo River (Himi City, Toyama Prefecture, Japan) in relation to environmental factors during the fall and winter seasons in 2010. Mussel density-influenced sex ratios of bitterling varied in the study area, males remaining in areas of high mussel density during spawning, while females frequented deeper feeding grounds until their eggs had matured.

Six specimens (189–306 mm in standard length) of the lethrinid fish, Gymnocranius superciliosus Brosa, Béarez, Paijo and Chen, 2013, recently described from New Caledonia, were collected from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, being the first record of the species from the Northern Hemisphere. Gymnocranius superciliosus is distinguishable from its congeners by the following combination of characters: elongated body (body depth at 1st dorsal-fin spine origin 2.53–3.06 in standard length); villiform to conical teeth on sides of both jaws; forked caudal fin with rounded posterior margins on both lobes, tips slightly pointed; six rows of scales between 5th dorsal-fin spine base and lateral line; no transverse dark brown bar laterally on head or body, except between eye and interopercular flange; blue speckles dispersed on snout and cheek; body scales each with a basal dark brown dot, forming longitudinal rows; reddish color on margins of dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins.
