  • Biogeography and Evolution of the Carassius Auratus-Complex in East
    Takada et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:7 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Biogeography and evolution of the Carassius auratus-complex in East Asia Mikumi Takada1,2*, Katsunori Tachihara1, Takeshi Kon2, Gunji Yamamoto2, Kei’ichiro Iguchi3, Masaki Miya4, Mutsumi Nishida2 Abstract Background: Carassius auratus is a primary freshwater fish with bisexual diploid and unisexual gynogenetic triploid lineages. It is distributed widely in Eurasia and is especially common in East Asia. Although several genetic studies have been conducted on C. auratus, they have not provided clear phylogenetic and evolutionary descriptions of this fish, probably due to selection bias in sampling sites and the DNA regions analysed. As the first step in clarifying the evolutionary entity of the world’s Carassius fishes, we attempted to clarify the phylogeny of C. auratus populations distributed in East Asia. Results: We conducted a detailed analysis of a large dataset of mitochondrial gene sequences [CR, 323 bp, 672 sequences (528 sequenced + 144 downloaded); CR + ND4 + ND5 + cyt b, 4669 bp in total, 53 sequences] obtained from C. auratus in East Asia. Our phylogeographic analysis revealed two superlineages, one distributed mainly among the Japanese main islands and the other in various regions in and around the Eurasian continent, including the Ryukyus and Taiwan. The two superlineages include seven lineages with high regional specificity that are composed of endemic populations indigenous to each region. The divergence time of the seven lineages was estimated to be 0.2 million years ago (Mya) by a fossil-based method and 1.0-1.9 Mya by the molecular clock method.

This was a revision of the subfamily Miltogramatinae dealing with seven genera and 14 species. Before this, Takano (1950) recorded seven genera and nine species of Japanese Sarcophagidae. Many investigation on the Japanese flesh flies made by Drs. K. Hori, R. Kano and S. Shinonaga beside the present authors. The results of these authors were published in the part of Sacophagidae, Fauna Japanica (Insecta: Diptera) and treated 23 genera and 65 species of the subfamilies of Sarcophaginae and Agriinae (=Paramacronychiinae), but the subfamily Miltogrammatinae was not included (Kano et al., 1967).

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.

A rare freshwater goby Odontobutis hikimius Iwata & Sakai, 2002 was collected from the Nishiki River flowing into the Seta Inland Sea. The species was described based on specimens from three rivers flow- ing into the Sea of Japan, the Takatsu, Tama, and Masuda Rivers, as an endemically distributed new species. The Nishiki River flows the southern slope of the drainage divide opposite to the Takatsu River. It is thought that the Fukatani River that was a tributary of the Takatsu River has become a tributary of the Nishiki River due to a stream capture event. Following this event Odontobutis hikimius possibly immigrated to the Nishiki River system from the Takatsu River system. Key words: freshwater goby, Odontobutis hikimius, new locality, stream capture, immigration, morphology Introduction Specimens collected from the Nishiki River are identified with O. hikimius morphologically (Fig. 1).

  • Concentrations of 21 Metals in the Suspended Solids Collected from the Principal 166 Rivers and 3 Lakes in Japan
    Geochemical Journal, Vol. 14, pp. 203 to 226, 1980 203 Concentrations of 21 metals in the suspended solids collected from the principal 166 rivers and 3 lakes in Japan HISAYUKI TERAOKA and JUN KOBAYASHI Institute for Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Okayama University, Kurashiki 710, Japan (Received July 21, 1980; Accepted October 20, 1980) In the analysis of natural water, it would be interesting to determine small but significant quantities of trace metals which are concentrated in suspended solids, since some of these metals, derived from geologic formations, mines and industries not only influence the environment for men and animals, but will also help us in tracing metallic resources. Taking advantage of the nation-wide chemical investigations conducted by JUN KOBAYASHI,FUJI MORII and coworkers on various constituents dissolved in the principal Japanese rivers and lakes, the present authors could analyze major and minor metallic elements in the suspended solids by the emission spectrographic method. The following are the results obtained: (1) Markedly higher concentrations of minor elements such as Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mn and Co were found in the suspended solids than in unpolluted soils or in the continental crust reported by TAYLOR (1964). (2) The concentrationsof Mn,Cu, Ni, Pb and Sri were found to be markedlyhigh in the Northeastern provinces. This must be due to the higher concentrationsof these metals distributedin geologicformations in this section as well as to the influence of many copper and other mines. (3) The distribution of Be happened to divide Japan into two halves. It is markedly lower in the eastern half.

  • A Checklist of the Parasites of Ayu (Plecoglossus Altivelis Altivelis) (Salmoniformes: Plecoglossidae) in Japan (1912-2007)
    J. Grad. Sch. Biosp. Sci. Hiroshima Univ. (2007), 46：59～89 REVIEW A Checklist of the Parasites of Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis) (Salmoniformes: Plecoglossidae) in Japan (1912-2007) 1） 1） 2） Kazuya Nagasawa , Tetsuya Umino and Mark J. Grygier 1）Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan 2）Lake Biwa Museum, 1091 Oroshimo, Kusatsu, Shiga 525-001, Japan Abstract The ayu or sweetfish Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis is distributed in many rivers and some lakes in Japan and also occurs in rivers of the Korean Peninsula and along the east coast of China and northern Vietnam. In Japan, this species is one of the most important freshwater fishes for commercial fisheries, aquaculture, and recreational fishing. In the present paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of ayu in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 96 years between 1912 and 2007, and the parasites, including 29 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (no named species), Microspora (1), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (13), Monogenea (3), Cestoda (1), Nematoda (1), Acantho- cephala (3), Copepoda (4), and Branchiura (2). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, any original combination, synonym(s), or other previous identification used for the parasite occurring in ayu; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japanese waters; and the published source of each locality record. There has been no record of parasites from a subspecies of ayu, the ryukyu-ayu Plecoglossus altivelis ryukyuensis.
