SEC 5-25 (Rev. 81/11) Canacrâ 2 The objectives of the survey Steller's sea lion, Eumetopias jubata (SCHREBER 1776) (1 Japanese "todo") has long been known to occur in the Sea of Japan. In addition to Allen (1880), Naumov (1933), Ognev (1935), Okada (1938), Matsuura (1943), Ellermann and Morrison-Scott (1951), there can be mentioned the more recent work of Nishiwaki (1972) and Geptner and Naumov (1976). Nishiwaki and Nagasaki (1960), Nishiwaki (1965) and Nishiwaki (1967) have given outlines of the migration, ecology and regional characteristicS of the herds which visit Hokkaido. Using specimens from various parts of Hokkaido, Itoo (1973) stated that three sea areas could be distinguished in which the herds of visiting sea lions were of differing age and sex compositions. However collections were not made along the whole coast, so this study was both limited and preliminary. There are also studies made some twenty years ago of the damage done by sea lions to the fishery, particularly by collecting the observations of people engaged in coastal fishing, but there have been absolutely no studies of sea lion ecology in Japan. According to Nishiwaki (1967) and Itoo (1973) it could be considered that the sea lions visited two sea areas, in north and south Hokkaido, with contrasting characteristics. The objective of the survey was to clarify many basic points about the ecology of the sea lions such as the seasons at which they appear and disappear, their distribution,their haul-out areas, the composition of the migrating herds, the size of the herds and their feeding. Also included in the planning were studies of the growth, sexual maturity, breeding, comparative morphology and parasites of captured specimens. 3 During the course of the survey many people gave us assistance. We wish to express and record our gratitude to the following persons. In the survey in Northern Hokkaido:- Mr Shigeo OISHI (Rebun town, Funadomari) Mr Yasuo OISHI (Rebun town, Funadomari) Mr Hirota SAKANO (Rebun town, Funadomari) Mr Binichi KURI (Rebun municipal offices) Mr Jusuke OTSUKA (Rebun municipal offices) Mr Takaji FUJIMOTO (Sarafutsu village, Hamaonishibetsu) Mr Mitsutaka KURASHINA (Keio University) In the survey in Southern Hokkaido:- Mr Yoshietsu ARASHIDA (Usushiri Fisheries Experimental Station, Faculty of Fisheries, Hokkaido University) Mr Kiyoshi NOMURA (Usushiri Fisheries Experimental Station Faculty of Fisheries, Hokkaido University) and also all the hunters from Minamikayabe town, Birodomari, especially Mr Ryoji KAMATA and everyone at the Northern Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Faculty of Fisheries of Hokkaido University. The methods of the survey The Northeill Hokkaido survey, which centre3around the north shore of Rebun Island (Rebun town, Funadomari) was made in two periods, from 21 December 1975 to 13 January 1976 and from 27 February to 10 March 1976. The Southern Hokkaido survey was made in the southwest part of Funka Bay (Minamikayabe town) from 28 February 1976 to 22 March 1976. (Figure 1) * Funka Bay is shown on many maps as Ushiura Bay.

The * shows the places of capture, the numbers in brackets shows the number captured. • Cooperation was obtained in both areas from the persons locally concerned with sea lion destruction operations. In Northern Hokkaido six trips were made with Mr Yasuo OISHI in his Kojumaru No. 5 - (1.5 tons) to observe the number of individuals, the size composition and movements of sea lions on the reefs and at sea. Following Scheffer (1967) and Allen (1880) the measurements made on the eleven individuals captured included the body length and thirteen other measurements and there were also thirteen measurements of the size and weight of the internal organs, including the gonads. The skulls and the whole skeletons were preserved as dry specimens and the gonads, the exterior and interior parasites were preserved as specimens hardened in 10% formalin. The age was assessed principally from the annual ring structure of the cementum layer and the dentine layer of No. 3 incisor in the upper 10,45 jaw . The stomach contents were investigated after hardening in 20% formalin. Through the good offices of Mr Yasuo OISHI it was also possible to obtain as specimens nineteen skulls captured before and after the survey periods. The teeth and tusks of an individual captured in February 1976 were received from Mr Kiyoshi ARASHIDA, and these twenty individuals were included as specimens for age determination. Reference was made to the capture records (1973 to 1975) in the Rebun town municipal offices to ascertain the numbers captured in recent years. Sea lion hunters and others in the fisheries business were interviewed about sea lion ecology. 6 Results and discussion Because the number of specimens is extremely small, analyses and discussions of the habits and movements of the sea lions, their exterior morphology and of the data related to the weight of their interior organs, gonads and skulls are omitted from the present report. Studies of the exterior and interior parasites and information obtained about pinnipedia other than sea lions are to be presented in separate reports. 1. Report of observations (Rebun) Number of individuals on land On trips with Mr OISHI and with local sea lion hunters, observations were made of sea lions on land on Hirashima reef about 600 m north of Todo Island, offshore from the northwest of Rebun Island, and the numbers were counted with binoculars (Nikon 9x35). The dates of observations and the numbers of individuals were as follows:- 12 December 1975 30 - 40 28 December 1975 30 - 40 30 December 1975 71 2 January 1976 1 The reefs were assigned numbers by the authors (see Figure 2). Observations were made on 30 December without being noticed by the sea lions for about 15 minutes after 6.35 a.m. from the point on land marked "0" on reef No. 4 (R - 4).

  • Japonica on the Southwestern Coast of Sakhalin Island in Recent Years
    水研センター研報，第32号，43－46，平成22年 Bull. Fish. Res. Agen. No. 32, 43-46, 2010 43 Resources of Laminaria (Saccharina) japonica on the southwestern coast of Sakhalin island in recent years. Tasks of investigations for the near period ＊1 ＊1 ＊1 Dmitry Galanin , Lubov Balkonskaya and Natalya Prokhorova Abstract: The current state of the resources Laminaria japonica on the coasts Sakhalin is- land is satisfactory. In also the time, the large areas of stone ground are not populated. Re- cent year the resources of algae continue to be reduced, especially in the places of fishing. Exception case with associations of macrophyte was found in the extreme south of Sakhalin Island (fishing is not). Here the decrease of the biomass of algae is not observed. To the next five years we planned the complex investigations of hydrobiological for the purpose to es- tablish the reasons for the reduction of the resources of Laminaria japonica on the coast of Sakhalin. Analogous investigations are planned by Japanese researchers from Hokkaido Cen- tral Fisheries Experiment Station on the west coast of Hokkaido. As the hypothesis three groups of the reasons, which most probably influence the development of the succession of associations, are examined by us. These are oceanographic causes, anthropogenic and biotic factors. The force of the influence of each for us is in prospect to determine in the course of the planned five-year studies. For the solution of the problems presented, Sakhalin Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography plans to create two testing areas for the hydrobio- logical monitoring, with the setting for each of the station of the autonomous measurement of temperature.

  • Physical and Societal Statistics for a Century of Snow-Avalanche Hazards on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands (1910–2010)
    Journal of Glaciology, Vol. 60, No. 221, 2014 doi: 10.3189/2014JoG13J143 409 Physical and societal statistics for a century of snow-avalanche hazards on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands (1910±2010) 1 2 3 1 Evgeny A. PODOLSKIY, Kaoru IZUMI, Vladimir E. SUCHKOV, Ã Nicolas ECKERT 1IRSTEA (UR ETGR) ± Centre de Grenoble, Saint-Martin-d'HeÁres, France E-mail: [email protected] 2Research Institute for Natural Hazards and Disaster Recovery, Niigata University, Niigata, Japan 3Sakhalin Hidrometeorological Service (RPLC, Sakhalin UGMS), Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia ABSTRACT. The analysis of historical avalanche data is important when developing accurate hazard maps. The record of snow-avalanche disasters on Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands is incomplete, due to the historical division into periods of Japanese and Russian rule. Here we combine and analyze data from Japanese and Russian sources to reconstruct a continuous record of avalanche catastrophes in the region from 1910 to 2010. Despite the relatively small scale of the majority of catastrophic avalanches, with a total vertical drop <200 m, we document evidence that places the region among the most avalanche- affected areas in the world. In total, 756 fatalities and >238 injuries have occurred in 275 incidents over a 100 year period (two-thirds of those killed were Japanese). This death toll is higher than that in Canada, New Zealand or Iceland, or non-recreational fatalities in France. A wave of avalanche disasters (1930s±60s) following intense colonization of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands is evident. Although this `wave' could be considered a local issue of the past, many presently developing countries may face similar situations.

  • The Millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Russian Far East Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula
    SOIL ORGANISMS Volume 81 (3) 2009 pp. 599–616 ISSN: 1864 - 6417 The millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Russian Far East islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula Elena V. Mikhaljova Institute of Biology and Soil Science, Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Prospekt 100-letiya Vladivostoka 159, Vladivostok 690022, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A review of the millipede fauna of the islands of the Russian Far East and Kamchatka Peninsula is presented, with 36 species involved, all arranged in a catalogue-like manner. A brief historical account, data on the distribution, a comparative analysis of the island diplopod faunas, and zoogeographical notes are given. Keywords: Myriapoda, fauna, distribution, islands, Russia 1. Introduction The Russian Far East includes archipelagos and islands off the western coast of the northern Pacific and the islands off the Chukotka at the border between the East Siberian and Chuckchee seas (see Map 1). The most known among them are the islands of the Primorsky Province in the Sea of Japan, Sakhalin Island, the Kurile Islands, the Wrangel, the Commander, Shantarskie islands and Karaginsky Island. Knowledge of the millipede fauna of the islands of the Russian Far East is still incomplete. Some of the islands of the East Siberian and Bering seas, the Sea of Okhotsk have hitherto remained unexplored. However, it is possible to surmise that these islands are devoid of diplopods or that their millipede fauna is extremely poor. The Wrangel Island seems to be totally devoid of Diplopoda; at least, large long-term (within 12 years) materials on Wrangel invertebrates contain neither millipedes nor centipedes (Khruleva 1987, Stishov 2006).

Published subject to the conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution License. Korean Airlines Flight 007: Accident or Intelligence Probe? Richard C. Thornton Institute for the Study of Strategy and Politics Shortly after the presumed crash of Korean Airlines flight 007 on September 1, 1983, the United States government took the position that while the Soviet attack on the civilian airliner was a horrendous act, it seemed to have been the product of two accidents: the accidental drift of the airliner off course and the Soviet misidentification of it as a military aircraft. The twin accidents thesis governed most subsequent analysis, as scholars focused their attention on how the airliner could have flown off course and how the Soviets could have mistaken it for a military aircraft. Skeptics were in a minority and dismissed. With the collapse of the Soviet Union additional information appeared. First, was the June 1991 draft report commissioned by Senator Jessie Helms: Did KAL-007 Successfully Ditch at Sea and Were There Survivors? 1 The study revealed previously classified NSA radio intercept data.

Introduction While aviation is the safest form of transport, the downing of Malaysia Airline Flight MH17, the scheduled flight en route from Amsterdam, Netherland to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 18 July, 2014 has raised troubling concerns with respect to civilian aircraft operating to, from and over armed conflict zones. This tragedy caused all the 298 lives onboard the aircraft perished, including 283 passengers from ten countries as well as 15 crew members from Malaysia.1) Soon after the incident happened, the UN Security Council adopted a Resolution at its 7221st meeting to explore the downing of the civilian aircraft on an international flight and reaffirm the rules of international law that prohibit acts of violence that pose a threat to the safety of international civil aviation. It also demanded that those responsible for this incident be held to account and that all States cooperate fully with efforts to establish accountability.2) Besides that, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International

Modernism in the Russian Far East and Japan 1918–1928, an exhibition held in 2002, would have been the only art-historical survey of the region of our concern where Russian Futurists, such as David Burliuk and Viktor Palmov among others, were working soon after the outbreak of the Russian Revolution.1 And though, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russo-Japanese friendship exhibitions have occasionally been organized as part of the sister prefecture exchange * This paper is a revised version of a paper presented at the 2006 Winter International Symposium, “Beyond the Empire: Images of Russia in the Eurasian Cultural Context,” organized by the Slavic Research Center, Hokkaido University. I would like to thank Prof. Tetsuo Mochizuki for inviting me to participate in the session, “Visual memory of Soviet Empire.” I am very grateful to all the artists who welcomed me into their studios and allowed me to take lots of photos. My special appreciation goes to Elena Bolotskikh, Alexandr Gorodnyi, Natal’ia Kiriukhina, Oleg Loshakov, Alexandr Pyrkov, and Chris- tine Steel for their assistance and encouragement. 1 Modernism in the Russian Far East and Japan 1918–1928.
