Over the past 20 years' data at the North Basin of Lake Biwa showed that chloride ion concentration has been continuously increasing from 7.4 to 9.9 mg l-1 at 0.5 m depth from lake surface and from 7.3 to 9.9 mg l-1 above the bottom (depth of over 80 m from lake surface). This low level salinity indicated, how- ever, about 35% increase through 20 years. In this paper, we reported the trend and the tendency of chloride ion concentration at some locations and the change of climatic data through 20 years in Lake Biwa. In a short period within one year, chloride ion con- centration clearly fluctuated in the upper water layer. This fluctuation was mostly influenced by precipitation. Similar trend of chlo- ride ion concentration could be seen in the South Basin of Lake Biwa with much higher concentration than that in the North Basin. We also discussed the long-term changes of chloride concentrations in 5 major rivers with large catchment area, water level and precipitation.

Twenty-four previously known, 2 new, and 4 unidentified species in 17 gen- era and 12 families are recorded. Three dubious literature records are also mentioned. All 30 con- firmed species, except Sanguinicolidae gen. sp. (Aporocotylidae), are described and figured. Life cy- cles are discussed where known. Philopinna kawamutsu sp. nov. (Didymozoidae) was found in the connective tissue between the vertebrae and the air bladder near the esophagus of Nipponocypris tem- minckii (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Genarchopsis yaritanago sp. nov. (Derogenidae) was found in the intestine of Tanakia lanceolata (Temminck and Schlegel) (Cyprinidae). Asymphylodora innominata (Faust, 1924) comb. nov. is proposed for A. macrostoma Ozaki, 1925 (Lissorchiidae). A key to the families, genera, and species of these digeneans is provided. Host-parasite and parasite- host lists are given. Key words: adult digeneans, Trematoda, parasites, morphology, life cycle, Philopinna kawamutsu sp.

  • Annual Layers in River-Bed Sediment of a Stagnant River-Mouth Area of the Kitagawa Brook, Central Japan
    doi:10.5194/piahs-367-251-2015 Sediment Dynamics from the Summit to the Sea 251 (Proceedings of a symposium held in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 11–14 December 2014) (IAHS Publ. 367, 2014). Annual layers in river-bed sediment of a stagnant river-mouth area of the Kitagawa Brook, Central Japan YOSHIMASA KURASHIGE1, TOSHIAKI NAKANO2, ERI KASUBUCHI3, 1 1 MASAHIRO MARUO & HANAKO DOMITSU 1 School of Environmental Science, The University of Shiga Prefecture, 2500 Hassaka-cho, Hikone 522-8533, Japan [email protected] 2 School of Environmental Science, The University of Shiga Prefecture, 2500 Hassaka-cho, Hikone 522-8533, Japan 3 School of Education, Bukkyo University, 96 Kitahananobo-cho, Murasakino, Kita-ku, Kyoto 603-8301, Japan Abstract The river mouth of Kitagawa Brook is normally stagnant because it is easily closed by sand and gravel transported by littoral currents of Biwa Lake, Japan. A new urban area exists in the basin and sewerage works were constructed in the early 1990s, so contaminated water with a bad odour had flowed into the brook before the sewerage works. To reduce the smell, the river mouth was excavated to narrow the channel in the early 1980s. Thus, river-bed sediment after this excavation only occurs at the river mouth. From the upper 24 cm of a sediment core, we found 19 strata of leaves which were supplied from deciduous trees in autumn. We also found several gravel layers which were supplied from the lake during severe storms. The combination of veins and gravel layers were reconstructed for about 20 years of sediment records with an error of two to three years.

  • Determinations of Humic Substances and Other Dissolved Organic Matter and Their Effects on the Increase of COD in Lake Biwa
    ANALYTICAL SCIENCES JANUARY 2004, VOL. 20 159 2004 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry Determinations of Humic Substances and Other Dissolved Organic Matter and Their Effects on the Increase of COD in Lake Biwa Shinichi AOKI,* Yasuro FUSE,** and Etsu YAMADA*,**† *Department of Chemistry and Material Technology, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Matsugasaki, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606–8585, Japan **Center for Environmental Science, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Matsugasaki, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606–8585, Japan Humic substances and other dissolved organic matter (DOM) in Lake Biwa and the surrounding rivers were investigated to elucidate their origins and behavior. An annual increase in chemical oxygen demand (COD) has been observed in the northern basin of Lake Biwa since 1985. The concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the northern and southern basins of Lake Biwa were 1.7 – 2.4 mgC/l and 1.9 – 2.6 mgC/l, respectively. The DOC concentrations tended to be high in summer and low in winter, and the seasonal changes in the concentrations of humic substances were small. The humic substances content of DOM was considered to be comparatively small because the ratio of the concentration of humic substances to DOC was in the range of 0.14 – 0.32. From the results of the fractionation of DOM in lake waters, it was estimated that hydrophobic acids, such as humic substances and hydrophilic acids, were about 25% and 45%, respectively. The main origin of hydrophobic acids in Lake Biwa may be humic substances from soils around the rivers that flow into Lake Biwa, while hydrophilic acids may be due to the inner production by phytoplankton.

Grygierd aDepartment of Biological Science, Sungkyunkwan University, College of Science, Suwon, Korea; bInstitute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia; cDepartment of Life Sciences, Hanyang University, Seoul, Korea; dLake Biwa Museum, Kusatsu, Japan (Received 29 August 2014; accepted 8 March 2015; first published online 16 April 2015) The predominantly marine genus Schizopera Sars, 1905 has only two significant inland water species-flocks, one in the ancient African Lake Tanganyika and the other in subterranean waters of Western Australia. Discovery of Schizopera abei sp. nov. from several interstitial locations in the vicinity of the ancient Lake Biwa has wider implications for the study of morphological homoplasies in the genus, as well as for the study of freshwater invasions in harpacticoid copepods. The new Schizopera species belongs to a small group of congeners with a two-segmented endopod of the fourth leg, which used to be recognised as a separate genus, Schizoperopsis Apostolov, 1982. Our reconstructed phylogenies based on the mtCOI partial sequences suggest that this character probably evolved convergently in at least some Schizopera, thus rendering the genus Schizoperopsis polyphyletic. However, almost all basal nodes in our cladograms are weakly supported, which shows limitations of a single-gene approach for reconstructing phylogenetic rela- tionships. The new species is the first member of its genus from Japanese inland waters, and it has no close relatives among extent congeners anywhere in the world.

    Current World Environment Vol. 9(1), 17-26 (2014) Distribution of Sand Particles Along the Shoreline of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture and Considerations from Lake Biwa and Seto Inland Sea, Japan KUNIO UEDA Department of Environmental Science, The University of Shiga Prefecture, Hikone City, 522-8533, Japan. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.9.1.03 (Received: February 10, 2014; Accepted: March 03, 2014) ABSTRACT The development of sand littoral zones is critical to supporting specific species in lakes and oceans. The construction of dams on rivers changes the distribution of sediments in littoral zones, and the relationship between dam construction on rivers, the inflow of small particles and increased eutrophication and red tide occurrences was demonstrated for Lake Biwa using public data. Many dams were constructed on rivers around Lake Biwa after the Second World War, and the old and new Araizeki dams were constructed on the out flowing Seta River, restricting flow and increasing the tendency of small particles to be deposited on the floor of Lake Biwa. Inouchi6 reported the distribution of seafloor sediment particle sizes in the Seto Inland Sea. Inouchi showed several fan-shaped distributions of sediment particles centered at the mouths of rivers. After many dams were constructed on the rivers in the period following the Second World War, particles smaller than Mdφ 4 to 6 were thought to increase in the rivers, and these smaller particles were deposited farther offshore from the river mouth if tidal currents were faster than 0.5 to 1.0 knots. Areas of the Seto Inland Sea in 1975 that were affected by silting and subsequent red tide blooms include Hiroshima Bay, Hiuti-nada, Harima-nada and Osaka Bay.

The δ13C and δ15N values of consumers shifted to a pattern similar to that of BPOM in an intermittent river, which sug- gests that particulate organic matter at each station may play an important role as a food source. More- over, analysis of the upper reaches of the dry channel revealed that both consumers and food sources have enriched δ13C values due to physicochemical characteristics in the channel such as a high water temperatures and stagnant water. Conversely, the lower reaches showed more negative δ13C values, suggesting either a lack of carbon or a reduced supply of terrestrial dissolved carbon, both caused by channel drying, and higher δ15N values, suggesting a high dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentration in groundwater. Our study showed that a dry channel may influence the flow of energy between consumers and their food sources and the flow of nutrients from the upper to the lower reaches.
