Previous surveys of marine and estuarine fishes of Yaku-shima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan, have recorded a total of 958 species. Recent examinations of museum collections and newly-collected specimens during the present study resulted in an additional 29 species recorded from Yaku-shima Island for the first time, plus a further 21 species now represented by voucher specimens, having been previously recorded from Yaku-shima only by underwater observations and/or from photographs. Thus, the number of marine and estuarine fish species from Yaku-shima Island now totals 987, the second highest fish species diversity recorded from a single region in Japan. Of the 50 voucher-based species newly recorded in this study, 11 represented a northernmost range extension and one, a southernmost extension. Color photographs of most are provided.

Introduction ca. the island. In this study, 50 fish species, newly recorded Yaku-shima Island is located at 30°20’ N, 130°32’ E, from marine and estuarine waters of Yaku-shima Island on 60 km south-southwest of Osumi Peninsula, Kagoshima Materialsthe basis of collectedand Methods specimens, are listed and illustrated. Prefecture, southern Kyushu, Japan (Figure 1). Roughly circular in shape and with an area of ca. 505 km², including several mountains exceeding 1,000 m in height (highest The systematic arrangement of families follows et1,936 al m), Yaku-shima is the largest island in the Osumi Nelson (2006). Scientific names generally follow Nakabo Islands group and the ninth largest in Japan (Motomura (2002) and Eschmeyer and Fricke (2011), with some . 2010). modifications following recently published or unpublished An annotated checklist of marine andet estuarine al fishes taxonomic studies. Within families, species are arranged of Yaku-shima Island, compiled from field and literature in alphabetical order. Standard Japanese names generally surveys, was published by Motomura . (2010), who follow Nakabo (2002), having been transliterated using reported a total of 951 species (382 genera, 112 families, the Hepburn system. Each species record (including 24 orders), including 374 species thatet al represented the first both marine and estuarine) was compiled from voucher reliable records from the island on the basis of collected specimens. Each voucher specimen, including registration specimens. Although Motomura . (2010) examined number, number of specimenset al registered (if more than all literature records, and more than 4,000 specimens one), standard length (SL) and locality on Yaku-shima collected from Yaku-shima Island, deposited in 12 Island (see Motomura . 2010: fig. 2) is listed in museum collections, including the Kagoshima University Appendix 1. Specimens examined in this study include Museum, the National Museum of Nature and Science, those deposited in collections of the Coastal Branch the California Academy of Sciences and the Smithsonian of Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba, Japan Institution National Museum of Natural History, as well as (CMNH), the Kagoshima University Museum, Japan specimens collected during their 2008–2009 Yaku-shima (KAUM) and the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural Expeditions, they overlooked specimens deposited in the ResultsHistory, Japan and Discussion(KPM).

Thus, a total of 50 species (41 complex, the flow rates and current directions changing genera, 23 families) are listed here (Table 1; Appendix with seasons, water temperatures and winds, thereby 1) with specimen photographs (Figures 2–6), all being resulting in an unique ichthyofauna. Further surveys are first records from marine and estuarine waters of Yaku- needed to fully understand the fish species diversity of shima Island supported by voucher specimens. It brings Yaku-shima Island. the total number of marine and estuarine fish species for Yaku-shima Island to 987, the second highest fish species diversity recorded from a single region in Japan [greatest etfish al species diversity recorded from Iriomote-jima Island, Yaeyama Islands, near Taiwan, with 1,082 species (Senou . 2006)]. The Kuroshio et Current al flows from east of the Philippines to the Pacific coast of southern Japan, via Taiwan (Motomura . 2010: fig. 1). West of the Ryukyu Islands, the northward flowing current turns to the east, flowing through the Tokara Islands (located between Yaku-shima and Amami-oshima Islands). The current then turns north toward the Pacific coasts of the islands of Kyushu, Shikoku and Honshu (the Japanese mainland). Two flow paths of the Kuroshio Current occur at the Tokara Islands (Figure 1), the more southerly route taking the current across the island chain from West to East around Nakano-shima Island, and the other, more northerly route, flowing along the southern coast of Yaku-shima Island. The current alternates between the two flow paths on a 30–50 day cycle (Chaen and Ichikawa 2001). Yaku-shima Island represented the northernmost distributional range of eleven of the 50 species recorded here (Table 1), the former having been most likely transported by the Kuroshio Current from Taiwan, China or the southern Ryukyu Islands. Propherallodus briggsiA single Yaku-shima Island specimen (CMNH 10675, 15.8 mm SL; Figure 6B) of the gobiesocid , previously known only from Shizuoka and Nagasaki Prefectures on the Japanese mainland (Hayashi 2002), represents the southernmost record of the species.
