Horizontal and Vertical Distribution of Cottus Reinii (Pisces: Cottidae) in Lake Biwa, Central Japan Biogeography 17. 13–20. Sep. 20, 2015 Horizontal and vertical distribution of Cottus reinii (Pisces: Cottidae) in Lake Biwa, central Japan Yasuhiro Fujioka1,2*, Akihisa Sakai1 and Atsuhiko Ide1 1 Shiga Prefecture Fisheries Experiment Station, Hassaka 2138-3, Hikone, Shiga, Japan 2 Lake Biwa Museum, Oroshimo 1091, Kusatsu, Shiga, 525-0001 Japan Abstract. The distribution of Utsusemi-kazika Cottus reinii in Lake Biwa was investigated by means of small trawl-net, commercial trawl-nets, and commercial set-nets. C. reinii were abundant in the coastal bot- tom waters deeper than 20 m between June and August and deeper than 30 m in October. These were mostly small fish of less than 4 cm SL, showing a mode in the 1-1.99 cm class in June. Fish of more than 4 cm SL also were caught in coastal waters (10-20 m in depth) and offshore deep waters (deeper than 40 m) throughout the year. These results suggest that this species leaves the plankton to begin its benthic life at a size of about 1 cm SL at depths of 20-30 m. After growing to 3-4 cm SL by October at depths of 30-40 m, they expand their range to bottom waters deeper than 40 m. The bottom sediment of the lake habitat is mainly fine mud, very different from the reported of gravel-bottom habitat of this fish in rivers.

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.

Despite flowing through urban and residential areas, the pristine Nagara River that runs through the site’s centre boasts an abundance of clear, high quality water, and is also considered one of Japan’s three clearest rivers. The people of the region receive the river’s bounty and in turn strive to conserve it for future generations.

Mitochondrial genomes of 26 cichlid species were amplified by long-range PCR followed by the 454 pyrosequencing on a GS Roche Junior platform. The primers for long-range PCR were designed specifically in the mitogenomic regions with low interspecific variability. The whole mitogenome of most species was amplified as three fragments using the following primer sets: for the region between position 2 500 bp and 7 300 bp (of mitogenome starting with tRNA-Phe), we used forward primers ZM2500F (5'-ACG ACC TCG ATG TTG GAT CAG GAC ATC C-3'), L2508KAW (Kawaguchi et al. 2001) or S-LA-16SF (Miya & Nishida 2000) and reverse primer ZM7350R (5'-TTA AGG CGT GGT CGT GGA AGT GAA GAA G-3').

Although recent studies on the mitogenomes of the Scorpaeniformes species have been greatly advanced, information regarding molecular studies and the taxonomic localization of Platycephalidae is still sparse. To further analyze the phylogeny of Platycephalidae, we sequenced the complete mitogenome of Cociella crocodilus of the Platycephalidae family within Scorpaeniformes for the first time. The mitogenome was 17,314 bp in length, contained two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and two typical noncoding control regions (the control region (CR) and origin of the light strand (OL)). All PCGs used standard initiation codons ATG, apart from cox1. The majority of the tRNA genes could be folded into cloverleaf secondary structures, whereas the secondary structure of tRNASer (AGN) lacked a dihydrouridine (DHU) stem.

  • Species Divers. 20(1): 73-81
    Species Diversity 20: 73–81 25 May 2015 DOI: 10.12782/sd.20.1.073 Rediscovery of a Fish Acanthocephalan, Acanthocephalus minor (Echinorhynchida: Echinorhynchidae), in the Lake Biwa Basin, Central Japan, with a Review of the Fish Acanthocephalan Fauna of the Basin Kazuya Nagasawa1,2 and Masato Nitta1 1 Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University, 1-4-4 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8528, Japan E-mail: [email protected] (KN); [email protected] (MN) 2 Corresponding author (Received 28 January 2015; Accepted 30 April 2015) Specimens of the echinorhynchid acanthocephalan Acanthocephalus minor Yamaguti, 1935 were collected from the rectum of a dark sleeper, Odontobutis obscura (Temminck and Schlegel, 1845), in an irrigation canal near Lake Biwa, Shiga Prefecture, west-central Japan. This represents a rediscovery of A. minor in the Lake Biwa basin after a gap of nearly 80 years. It appears not to be distributed in Lake Biwa proper, but to occur rarely in rivers and irrigation canals of a limited coastal area around the lake. To date, 10 nominal species of acanthocephalan in four families and three orders have been re- ported from fish in the Lake Biwa basin. Among these, striking morphological similarities between Acanthocephalus aculea- tus Van Cleave, 1931 and its congener A. opsariichthydis Yamaguti, 1935 are noted. It is furthermore suggested that A. gotoi Van Cleave, 1925 could not maintain its population after the basin’s wild population of its major host, Anguilla japonica Temminck and Schlegel, 1846, disappeared in the mid-1960s. Key Words: Acanthocephalus minor, Acanthocephala, Odontobutis obscura, fish parasite, faunistic review, Lake Biwa basin, Japan.
