Biogeography 17. 43–52. Sep. 20, 2015 Geographical variations in morphological characters of the fluvial eight-barbel loach, Nagare-hotoke-dojo (Cobitidae: Nemacheilinae) Taiki Ito*, Kazuhiro Tanaka and Kazumi Hosoya Program in Environmental Management, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kinki University, 3327-204 Nakamachi, Nara 631-8505, Japan Abstract. The morphological and color variations of Lefua sp. 1 Nagare-hotoke-dojo individuals from 13 river systems were examined. Analysis of variance revealed highly significant variations in Lefua sp. 1 mor- phology and coloration among the 13 populations examined, across all 19 measurements and counts. The 13 populations of Lefua sp. 1 were classified into two major clusters (I and II) by using UPGMA cluster analy- sis. Cluster I comprised fish from the Maruyama, Yura, Muko, Mihara, Yoshino, Hidaka, Kumano, Yoshii, Chikusa, and Ibo river systems. Cluster II comprised fish from the Yoshida, Saita, and Sumoto river systems. Cluster I was further subdivided into sub-clusters: I-i (the Maruyama, Yura, Muko, Mihara, Yoshino, Hidaka, Kumano, and Yoshii river systems) and I-ii (the Chikusa and Ibo river systems). Principal component analysis revealed that populations within cluster II clearly possessed longer caudal peduncles, while populations within cluster I possessed a longer anterior body on average and a deeper body. Populations within sub-cluster I-ii possessed a higher average dorsal fin and a longer average dorsal fin base than those of populations within sub-cluster I-i. A strong correlation was noted between the PC3 score and population latitude (r = 0.621). Observations of body color patterns revealed that individuals from the Yoshino, Mihara, Sumoto, and Hidaka river systems had dark brown mottling on both sides and the dorsal regions of their bodies and many small dark brown spots on the dorsal and caudal fins, while those from the Yura, Muko, and Kumano river systems possessed neither. Individuals from the Yoshii, Chikusa, Ibo, Maruyama, Yoshida, and Saita river systems, no dark brown mottling was present on both sides and the dorsal regions of their body and many small dark brown spots present on the dorsal and caudal fins. Overall, it was determined that Lefua sp. 1 exhibits a high degree of variability in its morphological characters among populations, which may be because of population isolation due to the specify preference for small freshwater bodies, such as streams. Key words: body color, endangered species, geographical cline, river capture, undescribed species Introduction were taxonomically separated from L. echigonia as an undescribed species sensu stricto, based on their The fluvial eight-barbel loach, known in Japanese morphological, ecological, and genetic features (Ho- common name as “Nagare-hotoke-dojo” (=Lefua soya, 1993; Hosoya, 2000; Hosoya, 2003; Sakai et sp. 1) is classified as a cobitid in the subfamily al., 2003).

Based on a hydrodynamic Dilution model, the dilution characteristics of riverine contaminants in the Seto Inland Sea and their controlling factors Riverine pollution were studied. Results showed that contaminant concentration was high in summer and low in winter. The Seto Inland Sea Contaminant concentration decreased with the reduction of its half-life period, and the relationship between Hydrodynamic model them followed power functions. Sensitivity experiments suggested that the horizontal current and vertical Residual currents stratification associated with air-sea heat flux controlled the seasonal cycle of contaminant concentration in the water column; however, surface wind velocity was the dominant factor affecting the surface contaminant concentration. In addition, contaminant concentration in a sub-region was likely controlled by the variations in river discharges close to the sub-region. These results are helpful for predicting contaminant concentrations in the sea and are expected to contribute to assessing the potential ecological risks to aquatic organisms.

In the beginning of this decade, researcher found that they were ubiquitous in living organism and human, and that they possibly had characteristics of persistent organic pollutants. Therefore, there is an emerging need to study PFOS and PFOA contamination environment, particularly in the water environment. The research aims at examination of spatial distribution and behavior of PFOS and PFOA in water environment of several countries, with focus on new places where examination has never been conducted. Therefore, the method to analyze PFOS and PFOA in environmental water was developed. Sampling surveys were conducted to collect various types of water including surface water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharges, and tap water from various locations for analysis of PFOS and PFOA. Distribution and behavior of PFOS and PFOA were examined as three main parts.

    The History, Tradition, and Culture of Kyoto Prefecture

    The History, Tradition, and Culture of Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto Prefectural Education Center Preface The world has become a smaller place due to the development of high-speed machines and information technology. Nowadays the ability to show the world our identity as Japanese people including our culture and tradition, especially the ability to communicate with the rest of the world, is needed more than ever. Throughout history, Kyoto has been at the center of Japanese culture and history. Kyoto is therefore a good starting point for communicating with the world about Japanese culture and history. In this textbook, the history, tradition, and culture of each region in Kyoto Prefecture are introduced in English so that you, as high school students, can be proud to tell people from abroad about your hometown and Kyoto in English. The contents of chapter Ⅰto Ⅲ in this textbook are based on a Japanese textbook which was written for new teachers working in Kyoto Prefecture. Some parts have been erased and changed, and in other parts, new information was added so that high school students can understand better. You might find some difficult words in the textbook, however, the sentence structures are rather simple and readers with a basic knowledge of grammar can read on with a dictionary at hand. Furthermore, as the Japanese explanations are available on the right page, you can utilize them as a reference if the English is too difficult to understand. Besides, this textbook would be useful not only for students but also for people from abroad who don't know much about Kyoto Prefecture.

Inst., Kyoto Univ., No. 58 B, 2015 Analysis of Breach Characteristics and Equilibrium Scour Pattern for Overtopping Induced River Dyke breach Pawan Kumar BHATTARAI(1), Hajime NAKAGAWA, Kenji KAWAIKE and Hao ZHANG(2) (1) Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University (2) Agriculture Unit, Natural Science Clusters, Kochi University Synopsis River dykes are important and effective measure to prevent floods.The main consequences on the flood risk due to construction of river embankments or dykes are that, firstly, it increases the flood hazard reducing the lateral flow storage area and hence the flow capacity of peak discharges attenuation and, secondly, the amount of potential damages induced by flooding is dramatically increased, being the surrounding areas often urbanized. Therefore, although the existence of dyke lowers the probability of flooding but the consequences to personal safety and property are much higher should a dyke overtop or fail. The dynamic lateral widening of the breach process, resulting flow and sediment hydrographs and the scour beneath or downstream of dyke are poorly understood in current studies. Therefore, this study conducted laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of river dyke breach due to overtopping flow with different sediment sizes.

Juveniles were distributed not only in 18 the surf zone, but also in the freshwater zone and they were particularly abundant 19 associated with aquatic vegetations in the freshwater zone, throughout the sampling period. 20 This distribution pattern suggests that the early life history of the temperate seabass 21 depends more intensively on the river than previously considered.
