Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

  • Modelling Pre-Channelization & Land
    MODELLING PRE-CHANNELIZATION & LAND USE CHANGE AND THEIR IMPACT ON FLOOD AND SEDIMENT YIELD OF SIX RIVER CATCHMENTS IN HOKKAIDO REGION WONGSA Sanit1 and i SHIMIZU Yasuyuki2 1Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, Kita-13, Nishi-8, Kita-ku, Sapporo, JAPAN, 2Division of Environment and Resources Engineering, Hokkaido University, Kita-13, Nishi-8, Kita-ku, Sapporo, JAPAN. Abstract The potential for flood and sediment material is strongly affected by river meandering and changes in land use. Therefore the modelling of pre-channelization and land use change is important with respect to prediction of flood, sediment yield and its on-site consequences. However, the impact of sediment yield in difference environments and how this affects sediment materials delivery to downstream area are incompletely understood. Therefore, modelling of the effects on pre-channelization and land use change could help us to better understanding the alluvial river systems. The proposed model obtained from this study was used to simulate possible past and/or future channelization and land use patterns. As such, pre-channelization and land use change in six rivers of Hokkaido region were analyzed by comparing two scenarios. Performance of the proposed numerical model was applied to simulate flood events in 1975, 1992 and 1998 to test the hypothesis that pre-channelization and land use change would also be an important component of reducing/increasing flood and sediment yield in Hokkaido region. The results indicate that pre-channelization has a significant impact on flood peak, but no significant effect on sediment yield. In contrast, land use change has significant effect on eroded soil from hillslope, but no significant effect on flood for a large scale river catchment in Hokkaido region.

IN HOKKAIDO Masashi OHARA, Yoshiya SHIMAMOTO and Takashi SANBUICHI* Laboratory of Industrial Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, 060 Japan Received January 7, 1989 Introduction Glycine soja SIEB. et ZUCCo has been considered as the most probable pro­ genitor of cultivated soy beans, G. max (L.) MERRIL. and known to occur in China, USSR, Korea, Taiwan and Japan (HYMOWITZ 1970, HYMOWITZ and NEWELL 1981). This species certainly gives us an important material to study the phylogenetic systematics and the evolution of soybeans. It is, however, also known that G. soja is an invaluable genetic resource to introduce higher seed protein contents than cultivated soybeans as well as other favorable characters for forage such as rapid growth of stem and large mass of leaves (WILLIAMS 1948, SEKIZUKA and YOSHIYAMA 1960, KAIZUMA and FUKUI 1974). For those purposes, morphological and ecological differentiations of various characters of G. soja growing in Japan have been also investigated (FUKUI and KAIZUMA 1971). However, most of the studies on G. soja were made by using materials collected from various parts of Japan with exception of Hokkaido (northern island of Japan) because until the report of SANBUICHI (1974), the distribution of this species in Hokkaido was unknown.
