Open AccessThe past, present, and a future for native charr in Japan
Charrs (Salvelinus) reach their southernmost distribution in Japan, and are uniquely adapted to the short, steep streams of this island archipelago. Southern Asian Dolly Varden (Salvelinus curilus) occur only in ...

No apparent effects of the buccal cavity attaching parasite, Salmincola sp. (Copepoda: Lernaeopodidae), on a stream salmonid: a mark-recapture study
We evaluated the effects of a buccal cavity attaching Salmincola sp. on white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis by mark-recapture method to compare body condition, growth, and apparent survival within a headwa...

Local factors affecting winter habitat use of non-native rainbow trout in a boreal stream in northern Japan
Despite its potential use for population control, the winter ecology of nonnative fishes is still poorly understood due to the difficulty of conducting field surveys. In this study, we investigated the winter ...

No reduction of hatching rates among F1 hybrids of naturally hybridizing three Far Eastern daces, genus Tribolodon (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae)
Egg hatching rates of F1 hybrids among three fishes, Japanese dace Tribolodon hakonensis, Pacific redfin T. brandtii, and rosyface dace T. sachalinensis, were compared with pure crosses. They are highly divergent...

Mass immigration of juvenile fishes into a small, once-dried tributary demonstrates the importance of remnant tributaries as wintering habitats
The winter ecology of stream fishes is still poorly understood, especially in non-salmonid species. A small tributary (<4 m in width, <1 km in length) of the Otofuke River (central Hokkaido, northern Japan) de...

Different habitat salinity between genetically divergent groups of a worm-like goby Luciogobius guttatus: an indication of cryptic species
Gobies of the genus Luciogobius have unusual morphological adaptations to interstitial rocky coastal habitats in far eastern Asia; an elongated scale-less body, the loss the first dorsal fin, and a drastically in...

Hybridization between native white-spotted charr and nonnative brook trout in the upper Sorachi River, Hokkaido, Japan
Invasion status and impacts of nonnative brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in a Hokkaido stream were investigated with field surveys and genetic analyses. Nonnative brook trout was detected in nine (41 %) of th...

Does the Refuge Availability Influence the Spawning Behavior of Mature Male Parr in Salmonids? A Test in the Miyabe Charr
In many salmon and charr, both 'migratory males' and 'precocious males' are maintained as alternative life-histories within a population. During breeding, precocious males gather around the mating pair of migr...
