Some scholars have considered them to be a single species while others have differentiated them as two species. According to HUBBS (1925), H. olidus differs sharply 'from H. japonicus in the smaller number of the scales, there being 54 to 62 rather than 63 to 68 in the course of the lateral line. According to BERG (1932), however, H. olidus has 53 to 68 scales in the course of the lateral line, and by him H. japonicus, H. vercundus and H. olidus are referred to a single species. In consequence of the confusion in the classification of these species, as stated above, the present author has encountered difficulty in the synecological research of the pond smelt, H. olidus, which inhabits off the coast of Hokkaido, Japan. Therefore, he is faced with the urgent necessity of making a taxonomic revision of genus of Hypomesus taken from Hokkaido. As results of the present research, it was confirmed that there are differences in the size of scales, the number of vertebrae and the position of pelvic insertions between H.

  • Our Research Realizes New Dreams for Hokkaido
    Hokkaido Research Organization Our research realizes new dreams for Hokkaido. http://www.hro.or.jp/ Message from the President Yoshikatsu Tanaka The Hokkaido Research Organization (HRO), a local independent administrative agency, was established in April 2010 by integrating 22 prefectural research institutes in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, forestry, manufacturing, food, environment, geology and architecture. The HRO is now focused on the three fields of food, energy and communities under the second midterm plan, which began in 2015, and utilizes its accumulated technologies and expertise while demonstrating its collective strengths in various fields to promote research on fundamental technologies that enhance the basic value of the technologies owned by Hokkaido industries and the effectiveness of administrative policies. It also works toward the practical use of fundamental technologies, contributing to the improvement of residents' living standards and the promotion of local industries as a comprehensive research institute in Hokkaido. Meanwhile, changes in socioeconomic circumstances and revolutionary advancement in scientific technology, such as the depopulation and aging of the population in Hokkaido at a faster pace than the national averages, worsening resource/energy problems, rapid development in ICT including IoT and big data, and advancing globalization, have various effects on the Hokkaido economy and lives of Hokkaido residents. To timely and appropriately deal with such powerful trends and promote research and development for the future, we are preparing the third midterm plan, which will begin in FY 2020. While defining the future vision, we will further strive to conduct high-value research and development that are used for the lives of Hokkaido residents and industries.
