Y. Chen*†,J.B.K.Leonard‡ and H. Ueda*§‖ *Division of Biosphere Science, Graduate School of Environmental Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0810, Japan, ‡Biology Department, Northern Michigan University, Marquette, MI 49855, U.S.A. and §Laboratory of Aquatic Bioresources and Ecosystems, Field Science Center for the Northern Biosphere, Hokkaido University, Sapporo 060-0809, Japan (Received 29 June 2016, Accepted 18 October 2016) Adult chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta homing behaviour in a two-choice test tank (Y-maze) was monitored using a passive integrated transponder (PIT)-tag system in response to river-specific dis- solved free amino-acid (DFAA) profiles and revealed that the majority of O. keta showed a preference for artificial natal-stream water and tended to stay in this maze arm for a longer period; natal-stream water was chosen over a nearby tributary’s water, but not when the O. keta were presented with a non-tributary water. The results demonstrate the ability of O. keta to discriminate artificial stream waters containing natural levels of DFAA. © 2016 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles Key words: artificial stream waters; dissolved free amino acids; homing behaviour; PIT tag; Y-maze. INTRODUCTION The ability of Pacific salmonids to successfully return to their natal stream follow- ing outmigration to and rearing in the ocean is a critical component of the success of the group (Groot & Margolis, 1991; Dittman et al., 1996).

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.
