Quantitative Evaluation of Water and Substances Cycle in the Upper River Basin of Kushiro Mire by Using Swat Model
Proceedings of the 22nd IAHR-APD Congress 2020, Sapporo, Japan QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF WATER AND SUBSTANCES CYCLE IN THE UPPER RIVER BASIN OF KUSHIRO MIRE BY USING SWAT MODEL HIROKI OHASHI OYO corporation, Saitama-City, Japan, [email protected] MAKOTO NAKATSUGAWA Muroran Institute of Tecnology, Muroran-City, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to evaluate water and substances (sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus) runoff mechanism quantitatively in Kuchoro River watershed located in the upper river basin of Kushiro mire. We applied SWAT model, which is sufficiently calibrated to this objective area, to understand runoff mechanism of water and substance cycle in 1940 to 2017. Main results of this study are 1) Substances flowed out from not only Pasture area but also highland area because of rapid surface water flow occurrence and 2) development and river straighten in upper watershed would be influenced to the environment of Kushiro Mire. These results will contribute to evaluate water and substances cycle in whole Kushiro mire and to propose efficient countermeasures for preserving the natural environment in Kushiro River. Keywords: Water and substances cycle, SWAT, Nature Restoration, Kushiro mire, Quantification 1. INTRODUCTION For Kushiro Mire, registered in the Ramsar Convention in 1980, the Kushiro Wetland Nature Restoration Committee has been organized to restore and conserve the condition of the mire at the time of Ramsar registration because of its rapid qualitative and quantitative changes in recent years (Kushiro Wetland Nature Restoration Committee, 2005). The most basic and important action for this issue is to understand the mechanism of water and substances cycle in Kushiro Mire. -

A Checklist and Bibliography of Parasites of Salmonids of Japan
;r c j . 3 $JJ#~,Sci. Rep. Hokkaido Salmon Hatchery, (41) : 1-75 (1987) A Checklist and Bibliography of Parasites of Salmonids of Japan Kazuya NAGASAWA*',Shigehiko URAWA", and Teruhiko AWAKURA*~ Abstract Information on the parasites of salmonids in Japanese waters that was published during the years 1889-1986 is assembled in the form of Parasite-Host and Host- Parasite lists with accompanying bibliography. Ninety-four named species of parasites (18 Protozoa, 5 Monogenea, 21 Trematoda, 7 Cestoidea, 19 Nematoda, 15 Acanthocephala, 1 Hirudinoidea, 1 Mollusca, 1 Branchiura, 5 Copepoda, 1 Isopoda) have been reported, and numerous other parasites not identified to species level are also included. The Parasite-Host list, arranged on a taxonomic basis, includes for each parasite species its currently recognized scientific name, and synonyms oc- curring in the literature, habitat (freshwater or marine), location of infection (site) within the host, species of host(s), known geographical distribution in Japanese waters, and the published source for each host and locality record. Where neces- sary, remarks and footnotes dealing with such topics as taxonomy, nomenclature, and misidentifications are included. The Host-Parasite list summarizes the species of parasites from each species of salmonid and their geographical distributions. Although taxonomic revision is not the aim of the checklist, the following three new combinations and one new synonym are proposed : Microsporidium takedai (Awa- kura, 1974) n. comb. for Nosemu tukedui ; Sterliudochonu ephemeridurum (Linstow, 1872) n. comb. for Cystidicoloides ephemeridurum ; and Salvelinema ishii (Fujita, 1941) new synonym of S. salvelini (Fujita, 1939) n. comb. for Metabronemu salvelini.
