Twenty-one specimens of the Pacific lamprey, Entosphenus tridentatus, were collected from the Hoki (8 specimens), Yusaka (11 specimens) and Arakawa Rivers (1 specimen), all tributaries of the Naka River, and the mainstream of the Naka River (1 specimen), Tochigi Prefecture, central Japan, between August 1999 and April 2001. Seven spawning redds, possibly constructed by Entosphenus tridentatus, were found in the Yusaka River on May 2 and 11, 2000, eggs being observed in one of them. Two specimens, collected from the Yusaka River and reared in an aquarium with a gravel substrate, subsequently spawned about 1000 eggs being observed in the redd. Forty-one of the eggs were reared at 15°C in an electric incubator, hatching starting 13-17 days after spawning. The hatching percentage was 92.7%, the accumulative temperature to hatching being between 195 and 255°C.
