Ninety percent of the fish collection contains specimens collected from the Tohoku District during the period from 1930 to 1933 when natural environments of Japan were in good condition for various groups of fishes. The fish specimens from the Tohoku District were classified into 361 species/subspecies of 273 genera belonging to 131 families of 31 orders.

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (2020) 23:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41240-020-00175-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Juvenile fish assemblages in the Jinju Bay region, Korea Se Hun Myoung1, Seok Nam Kwak2, Jin-Koo Kim3* , Won-Chan Lee4, Jeong Bae Kim4, Hyung Chul Kim4 and Jane E. Williamson1 Abstract Assemblages of juvenile fish and associated abiotic parameters were investigated inside and outside Jinju Bay in southern Korea, on a monthly basis from December 2014 to November 2015. Fluctuations in water temperature and salinity were larger inside than outside the bay. In total, 534,657 individuals per square kilometre from 81 fish species and 47 families were collected during the study period. The most dominant species was Nuchequula nuchalis both inside (25.6%) and outside (26.9%) the bay. The next dominant species were Thryssa kammalensis (17.9%) and Zoarces gillii (16.0%) inside the bay and Liparis tanakae (16.9%) and T. kammalensis (9.0%) outside the bay. Forty species (33% of total number of individuals) of young fish were recorded inside the bay and 47 species (52%) outside the bay. Therefore, it appears that a diversity of fish use nursery grounds inside and outside Jinju Bay. In particular, the following six species appeared: Z. gillii, Pleuronichthys cornutus, L. tanakae, Hemitripterus villosus, Pennahia argentata, and Xenocephalus elongates. Due to assemblage differences for fishes within Jinju Bay and outside the bay, management of both areas is required to maintain current diversity of species in the region. Keywords: Bay ecology, Young fish, Teleost, Nursery, Jinju Bay, Nuchequula nuchalis, Thryssa kammalensis, Liparis tanakae Introduction correlated with rapid growth and high survival rates Coastal bay environments are highly variable, particu- in the early stages of fishes, bays are generally consid- larly in terms of water temperature, salinity, oxygen, sea ered as important spawning and nursery grounds level, nutrient availability, and turbidity.

    CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME "CONSERVATION of WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION"

    REPRINT FROM CALIFORNIA FISH and GAME "CONSERVATION OF WILDLIFE THROUGH EDUCATION" VOLUME 49 OCTOBER 1963 NUMBER 4 AN ORIENTAL GOBY COLLECTED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER DELTA NEAR STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA The California Department of Fish and Game has recently collected two specimens of a goby previously unknown in Californian waters. These we have identified as a species common in Japan, China, and Korea, Acanthogobius flavimanus ( Temminck and Schlegel), often re- ferred to as A. flavimanus (Schlegel). The first specimen was taken on January 18, 1963, by Arnold B. Albrecht and Vincent A. Catania (personnel of the Dingell-Johnson Project California F9R, "A Study of Sturgeon and Striped Bass," supported by Federal Aid to Fish Restoration funds), in a midwater trawl in the San Joaquin River off Prisoners Point on the southwest shore of Venice Island. Salinity here is very low, under 30 ppm (chlorides) at this time of year. The second specimen was collected in an otter trawl on March 29, 1963, by E. G. Gunderson, Armand P. Croft, Jr., and Vincent A. Catania, in the Stockton Deepwater Channel just above the entrance of the Calaveras River and just downstream from Port of Stockton. Although approxi- mately 12 miles above the first station, salinity here is slightly greater, measuring about 70 ppm (chlorides) at this period in the year. The first goby was 123 mm standard length (155 mm total length) ; the second was 69 mm s 1 (85 mm t.1.). Both have been deposited at Sacramento State College (SSC nos. 35-1 & 36-1). They exhibit close agreement with examples of A.

Circular No. 65 9^ RUSSIAN-ENGLISH GLOSSARY OF NAMES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL AND RELATED TERMS ^5, Compiled by W. E. Ricker Fisheries Research Board of Canada Nanaimo, B.C. August, 1962 FOREWORD This short Russian-English glossary is meant to be of assistance in translating scientific articles in the fields of aquatic biology and the study of fishes and fisheries. j^ Definitions have been obtained from a variety of sources. For the names of fishes, the text volume of "Commercial Fishes of the USSR" provided English equivalents of many Russian names. Others were found in Berg's "Freshwater Fishes", and in works by Nikolsky (1954), Galkin (1958), Borisov and Ovsiannikov (1958), Martinsen (1959), and others. The kinds of fishes most emphasized are the larger species, especially those which are of importance as food fishes in the USSR, hence likely to be encountered in routine translating. However, names of a number of important commercial species in other parts of the world have been taken from Martinsen's list. For species for which no recognized English name was discovered, I have usually given either a transliteration or a translation of the Russian name; these are put in quotation marks to distinguish them from recognized English names.
