Abstract; Six populations of Corbicula J'aponica, thTee populations of C. ieana and one twelve isozyme coding loci population of C santlai were electrophoretically analyzed at in order to appToach the phylogenetic relationship among the three species and the level of intra-specific differentiation within C. japonica and C. Ieana, Among them, C, J'apenica was the most variable with most ef the examined loci being polymorphic. It was also most geographically differentiated. Genetic differentiation among populations of C. joponi- ea was not large enough te regard the geographic morphs as subspecies, C. sandai, endemic to Lake Biwa, was more variable than C. Ieana, a triploid species. Most of the examined loci of C. leana were monomorphic. A phylogenetic tree constructed from Nei's genetic distances between populations indicated that C. J'aponica diverged from the ancestral species first, with C sandai and C. leana subsequently differentiating from each other.

  • Transport Behavior of Particulate Organic Matter in River Water During Snow Melting in the Ishikari, Tokachi, Teshio and Kushiro Rivers, Japan
    J. Asiat. Soc.

JAHANGIR ALAM a,b, S. NAGAO a, AND M. EMRAN QUAYUM* a Graduate School of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, 060-0810, Japan. b School of Geographical Sciences, Southwest University, China. *Department of Chemistry, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, BANGLADESH Abstract Both ∆14C and δ13C were used to study the transport behavior of particulate organic matter (POM) in the Ishikari, Tokachi, Teshio and Kushiro rivers in Japan. Water samples were collected once a month in April and May in 2004 and 2005 during snow melting. Positive correlations were found between ∆14C and particulate organic carbon (POC) content. Negative correlations were found between ∆14C and increased water level. These results indicate that the river systems showed similar transportation behavior during snow melting because of the variation of water level and water discharge. Keywords: Rivers, Carbon Isotopes, POM, Turbidity, AMS, Japan Introduction The annual load of riverine particulate organic carbon (POC) from land to ocean corresponds to half the total organic carbon (Meybeck 1982). Transportation of POC in river systems one pathway of the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems is important for the carbon cycle. Geographical, hydrological and land use features control carbon discharge and transport patterns in rivers (Hope et al. 1994 and Torn et al. 1994). The hydrological situation must be considered in sub-arctic and arctic areas because the watershed environments vary from spring to summer because of snow melt.

  • 808 the Effects of Rainfall on Carbon Isotopes of Poc In
    THE EFFECTS OF RAINFALL ON CARBON ISOTOPES OF POC IN THE TESHIO RIVER, NORTHERN JAPAN Takafumi Aramaki1,2 • Seiya Nagao3 • Yo-hei Nakamura4 • Masao Uchida5 • Yasuyuki Shibata5 ABSTRACT. During a rainfall event in early September 2006, the transport behavior of particulate organic carbon (POC) in a small river (Teshio River, northern Japan) with alluvial plain and forest characteristics was investigated chiefly with carbon isotopes. The radiocarbon (14C value) of POC varied widely from 56‰ at the beginning of the rain event to 10‰ at peak rainfall. The 14C values have a positive correlation with C/N ratios and a negative correlation with 13C values except for the data from when both turbidity and water level were at their maximums due to rainfall. These results indicate that the sources of organic matter in the river come from the surface layer of soil as the water level rises during a rainfall event. INTRODUCTION Knowing the organic carbon dynamics in river basins is required when studying the role of rivers in global biogeochemical cycles and organic carbon flux. Global riverine discharge of dissolved and particulate terrestrial matter is a substantial source of organic carbon in the ocean (Meybeck 1993; Hedges et al. 1997). In particular, small rivers in alluvial plain and forest areas have been recognized as a significant source of terrestrial sediment in the ocean (Milliman and Syvitski 1992). During rainfall events, a large amount of suspended solids washes out from river basins to coastal regions, so it is expected that a large amount of organic matter and nutrients is also carried to coastal regions.

In most rivers facing the Nemuro Straits,P.pungitius was not collected.P.sinensis was dis- tributed in only a few rivers of the Pacific slope from Tokachi District to the Oshima Peninsula of the southern part of Hokkaido,but was continuously distributed in the rivers facing the Tsugaru Straits,the Okhotsk Sea and the Nemuro Straits.

  • Genetic Relationships of Oshorokoma Charr (Salvelinus Malma Kraschennikovi), Distributed in Hokkaido, Japan ― 1
    利尻研究 Rishiri Studies (38): 07-13, March 2019 Genetic Relationships of Oshorokoma Charr (Salvelinus malma kraschennikovi), Distributed in Hokkaido, Japan ― 1. Central and Eastern Areas ― Koichiro Kawai and Hidetoshi Saito Graduate School of Biosphere Science, Hiroshima University, Kagamiyama 1-4-4, Higashihiroshima-shi, Hiroshima, 739-8528 Japan Abstract. Genetic diversities and relationships were examined among ‘Oshorokoma’ charr, Salvelinus malma krascheninnikovi, distributed in the rivers flowing into the Sea of Japan, the Okhotsk Sea, Nemuro Strait and the Pacific Ocean, in Hokkaido, Japan, based on DNA sequences of the cytochrome b region of mitochondrial DNA. A total of 6 haplotypes was recognized. There were 5 polymorphic sites in a 500 bp fragment. Oshoro- koma was still more distant from S. leucomaenis than from S. alpinus or S. fontinalis in the genetic tree. Hap- lotype 2, distributed only in the Churui River, was estimated to be the oldest lineage. Haplotype 5 was the most dominant and was not distributed in the rivers flowing into Nemuro Strait. The average genetic distance was 0.003 for the Yubetsu River whereas it was only 0.001 for the Tokachi and Ishikari Rivers. Besides, it was only 0.003 between the rivers originating from the Taisetsu and Shari mountain masses. There was a significant positive correlation between geographical and genetic distances. These results suggest a westward invasion of an ancestral Oshorokoma population, a high genetic diversity in some populations, and a low genetic differen- tiation among populations. Further studies, including a survey in the whole of Hokkaido, and also including Rishiri and Rebun Islands, are considered to be necessary in the future.

  • Iha Applications
    IHA APPLICATIONS This database is a summary of many of the applications of the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) software. Entries are listed according to author, with the name of the body/s of water highlighted in bold type. Individual users of IHA submitted some of the entries, and those persons have authorized themselves as contacts to obtain addition information. Other information was culled from public documents, published reports, journal articles and business correspondence. The reasons for IHA usage fall into four categories: 1. Hydrologic Research: Use of the IHA software in assessing changes in hydrologic conditions (e.g. river flows, lake levels) over time, including changes caused by water management activities (dams, diversions, ground water pumping), climate shifts, changes in land use, etc. 2. Ecological Research: Use of the IHA software in assessing connections between hydrologic conditions (or changes in these conditions) and ecological responses, including studies of the influence of specific hydrologic conditions on species, plant community types, or ecological processes such as sediment transport, and salinity distributions. 3. Environmental Flow Recommendations: Use of the IHA software to develop recommendations for environmental flow protection (also commonly referred to as instream flows or ecosystem flows). Papers in this category may include application of the "Range of Variability Approach" (RVA) component of the IHA software. 4. Other: All other uses of the IHA software that do not fit into the above categories. IHA DATABASE Alber, M. & Flory, J. 2002.
