  ICHTHYOLOGICAL RESEARCH 1341-8998 2022/08 [Refereed]
   

  The new synaphobranchid eel Ilyophis singularis is described on the basis of two specimens (248-270 mm in total length) collected from the northeastern South China Sea at a depth between 1,612 and 1,665 m. The new species is characterized by a low number of vertebrae, with 116-118 total vertebrae, which is the smallest known for a species in Ilyophis. In addition, it differs from its congeners by the following combined characteristics: preanal vertebrae 36-37; sensory pores in supraorbital series 3 (pores absent above eye); sensory pores in infraorbital series 7 or 8 (2 or 3 pores behind eye); sensory pores absent on frontal and supratemporal regions; and body naked. The uncertainties for defining the two subgroups in Ilyophis are also discussed.

  Puffer and porcupine fishes (families Diodontidae and Tetraodontidae, order Tetradontiformes) are known for their extraordinary ability to triple their body size by swallowing and retaining large amounts of seawater in their accommodating stomachs. This inflation mechanism provides a defence to predation; however, it is associated with the secondary loss of the stomach's digestive function. Ingestion of alkaline seawater during inflation would make acidification inefficient (a potential driver for the loss of gastric digestion), paralleled by the loss of acid-peptic genes. We tested the hypothesis of stomach inflation as a driver for the convergent evolution of stomach loss by investigating the gastric phenotype and genotype of four distantly related stomach inflating gnathostomes: sargassum fish, swellshark, bearded goby and the pygmy leatherjacket. Strikingly, unlike in the puffer/porcupine fishes, we found no evidence for the loss of stomach function in sargassum fish, swellshark and bearded goby. Only the pygmy leatherjacket (Monochanthidae, Tetraodontiformes) lacked the gastric phenotype and genotype. In conclusion, ingestion of seawater for inflation, associated with loss of gastric acid secretion, is restricted to the Tetraodontiformes and is not a selective pressure for gastric loss in other reported gastric inflating fishes.

  Three snailfish species of Careproctus (Cottoidei: Liparidae), including two new species, are described from the deep Pacific Ocean off northern Honshu Island, Japan. Careproctus cyanogladius sp. nov., collected from the depths of 2,698–3,223 m, can be distinguished from congeneric species by having the following combination of characters: vertebrae 63; dorsal-fin rays 57–58; anal-fin rays 50; principal caudal rays 7; pectoral-fin rays 29–31; pectoral fin without a notch; uppermost pectoral-fin base below a horizontal through posterior margin of maxillary; pelvic disk oval; chin pores well separated; teeth simple; pyloric caeca 6–10; body pale blue or gray when fresh. The other new species, Careproctus orri sp. nov., collected from depths of 640–808 m, can be distinguished from congeneric species by having the following combination of characters: vertebrae 58–60; dorsal-fin rays 52–53; anal-fin rays 47–49; pectoral-fin rays 34–35; pectoral fin with a distinct notch; cephalic pores 2-6-7-2, chin pores single, unpaired; gill slit extending ventrally to 5th or 6th pectoral-fin ray; teeth strongly trilobed; peritoneum dark, stomach white. In addition, one specimen of Careproctus brevipectoralis Chernova, Thiel & Eidus, 2020 was newly collected from Japan, and is redescribed here in detail with comments on intraspecific variations.
• Redescription of the serranid perchlet Chelidoperca pleurospilus (Günther, 1880).

  Mizuki Matsunuma, Fumihito Tashiro

  Zootaxa 4830 (1) zootaxa.4830.1.6  2020/08/12 [Refereed]
   

  Chelidoperca pleurospilus (Günther, 1880) (Perciformes: Serranidae) is redescribed on the basis of the lectotype (designated herein) and 69 non-type specimens from the eastern Indian and western Pacific oceans, ranging from the Andaman Sea east to New Caledonia, and northwestern Australia north to Japan. Literature records of the species from the Red Sea and Madagascar are considered applicable to Chelidoperca occipitalis Kotthaus 1973. Chelidoperca pleurospilus is characterized by the following combination of characters: pectoral-fin rays 14-16 (modally 15); pored lateral-line scales 40-43 (43); scale rows in longitudinal series 42-47 (44); scale rows between lateral line and base of 6th dorsal-fin spine 4 (3 full-sized scales plus 1 half-sized); interorbital scales reaching mid-orbit level, not extending beyond anterior margin of orbit; scales on lower jaw ventral surface restricted to angular, not extending anteriorly onto dentary; posterior tip of upper caudal-fin lobe slightly elongate with rounded or pointed contour, that of lower lobe not elongate, with rounded or truncate contour; longitudinal row of ca. 5 dark, laterally elongate blotches (more-or-less continuous in small specimens <60 mm SL) along mid-body from behind head to caudal-fin base. The species is compared with its congeners, and morphological changes with growth in the former discussed in detail.

• First Japanese record for a species of Chaunax (Acanthopterygii: Chaunacidae)

  Koizumi Yudai, Tashiro Fumihito

  Japanese Journal of Ichthyology 一般社団法人 日本魚類学会 67 (2) 203 - 207 0021-5090 2020 [Refereed]
   

  A single large specimen [197.8 mm standard length (SL)] of the genus Chaunax Lowe, 1846 (Lophiiformes: Chaunacidae), captured during a commercial bottom trawl at a depth of 150–250 m off Cape Daio-zaki, Shima, Mie Prefecture, Japan on November 2016. Lacked markings on the body surface, thereby differing clearly from the three Japanese congeners (Chaunax fimbriatus Hilgendorf, 1879, Chaunax penicillatus McCulloch, 1915 and Chaunax abei Le Danois, 1978) known to date. Subsequently identified as Chaunax apus Lloyd, 1909, the specimen was characterized as follows: body without marking, reddish dorsally and paler ventrally (fresh condition), becoming uniformly whitish (preserved) ; tips of cirri on esca partially dark; dorsal surface of head lacking cirri; head length 39.3% SL; and 3 neuromasts in upper preopercular series, 3 in lower preopercular series, and 15 in pectoral series. The specimen represents both the northernmost and easternmost records of the species in the Pacific Ocean, in addition to being the first from Japanese waters. Intraspecific variation was noted in the count of spinules bridging the lateral-line complex (4–5 pairs in the present specimen vs. usually 3 pairs in previous reports of the species). The need for reconsideration of two of the three species groups recognized in the genus Chaunax [C. abei (including C. apus) and C. fimbriatus species groups] was discussed from the viewpoint of new morphological data obtained from the above specimen. The new standard Japanese name "Akafusen" is proposed for C. apus, in referring to its characteristic body shape and color.

  Check List 14 (1) 163 - 166 1809-127X 2018/01/19 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  A single muraenid specimen (genus Uropterygius), recovered from the stomach of a live Yellow-lipped Sea Krait, Laticauda colubrina (Schneider, 1799), captured at Iriomote Island, Japan, was found to possess intermediate traits between 2 rare species, Uropterygius xenodontus McCosker & Smith, 1997 and Uropterygius golanii McCosker & Smith, 1997. The specimen is provisionally identified as U. xenodontus and is described below with its morphs, as an important addition to material of rare specimens of the genus in the western North Pacific.
• First records of the rare snake eel Ophichthus exourus (Pisces: Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) from the Northern Hemisphere

  Fumihito Tashiro, Yusuke Hibino, Kei Miyamoto

  Species Diversity 22 (2) 213 - 217 1342-1670 2017/12/01 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  An old museum specimen of the rare deep-sea species Ophichthus exourus McCosker, 1999 (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) (685 mm in total length) collected near Saipan and a recently collected example from Okinawa, Japan (634 mm in total length) represent the first Northern Hemisphere records of the species, previously known only from the southwestern Pacific in waters offNew Caledonia and Fiji, but now believed to be widely distributed in the western Pacific Ocean. A detailed morphological observation based on the above specimens and a re-examination of the holotype resulted in a revision of some species characteristics, including the number of infraorbital pores. Ophichthus exourus is distinguished from other congeners by the following combination of characters: head 8.3-10.0% of total length upper jaw 36.1-38.1% of head length pectoral-fin rounded, length 19.2-24.1% of head length rear margin of eye above or slightly behind rictus eye diameter 44.4-61.2% of snout length horizontal length of posterior nostril dermal flap much greater than diameter of anterior nostril tube gill opening to dorsal-fin origin greater than twice pectoral-fin length preopercular pores 2 predorsal and total vertebrae 20-21 and 173-177, respectively lower-jaw teeth nearly uniserial body without bands or spots posteriormost portion (much shorter than head length) of anal-fin membrane indistinct darkish brown. A new standard Japanese name "Gunbai-umihebi" is proposed for the species.
• Relative importance of ocean currents and fronts in population structures of marine fish: a lesson from the cryptic lineages of the Hippocampus mohnikei complex

  Sang-Yun Han, Jin-Koo Kim, Fumihito Tashiro, Yoshiaki Kai, Joon-Taek Yoo

  Marine Biodiversity 1 - 13 1867-1624 2017/10/13 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  We found that Hippocampus mohnikei, the most common seahorse in East Asia, includes three clades with 2.8%–7.3% pairwise differences in their DNA cytochrome b (mtDNA cyt b) sequences, and all the clades are detected in the eastern Korea Strait (only in Geoje), Korea. Clades A and B have different demographic and divergence features via NJ-tree, TCS, mismatch, and BSP analysis from mtDNA cyt b, and the hybridization among the three clades was detected in nuclear DNA (the 1st intron RP1 of ribosomal protein S7 gene, ncDNA S7), implying a possibility of historic secondary contact or ancestral polymorphism. We also found the 1.4%-divergence-per-million-years molecular clock in mtDNA cyt b is appropriate for H. mohnikei through mismatch and BSP analysis comparison. Disconnection of each clade among the Yellow Sea, Korea Strait, and Japanese waters are related to different water masses, therefore there may exist an incomplete biogeographic barriers among them via discordant results between mtDNA and ncDNA. Therefore, a new analysis (such as microsatellite DNA or RAD-seq) must be considered to determine whether H. mohnikei constitutes a widely distributed panmictic population or several reproductively isolated populations.
• Stomach contents of three sea kraits (Hydrophiinae: Laticauda spp.) in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

  Runa Tabata, Fumihito Tashiro, Hideaki Nishizawa, Junichi Takagi, Noriko Kidera, Hiromichi Mitamura

  Current Herpetology 36 (2) 127 - 134 1881-1019 2017/08/01 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  We collected stomach contents of sea kraits, Laticauda laticaudata, L. colubrina, and L. semifasciata around Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands of the southern Ryukyu Islands, Japan. Twelve species belonging to three families of Anguilliformes (Congridae, Muraenidae, and Ophichthidae) were detected as prey of fifteen individuals of L. laticaudata and seven individuals of L. colubrina. On the other hand, four species of the families Labridae, Opistognathidae, and Ptereleotridae were found in the stomach of three individuals of L. semifasciata. These results indicate that L. laticaudata and L. colubrina around the northern limit of their distribution (Ryukyu Islands, Japan) preyed upon anguilliform fish, as previously found at the southern limit of their distribution (Vanuatu and New Caledonia), whereas L. semifasciata consumed various families of fish other than Anguilliformes, as reported in Taiwan. Thus, it is confirmed that L. laticaudata and L. colubrina are specialist predators on anguilliform fish (eels) and that L. semifasciata is a generalist that consumes various fishes in tropical and subtropical coastal waters. The differences in prey species among these three sea kraits may not be due to geographical variation of prey availability.

  Psenes arafurensis, belonging to the family Nomeidae, is described based on four specimens (184.8–199.0 mm in standard length) collected from Korea. The species is most similar to the congeneric species P. maculatus and P. pellucidus, but differs from them in the number of lateral–line scales. (44–47 in P. arafurensis vs 67–70 in P. maculatus and 120 in P. pellucidus) and the number of vertebrae (31 in P. arafurensis vs 34–38 in P. maculatus and 40–42 in P. pellucidus). The present study is a new record of P. arafurensis with voucher specimens from Korean waters.

  ICHTHYOLOGICAL RESEARCH 63 (1) 53 - 58 1341-8998 2016/01 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  A new worm eel, Neenchelys nudiceps, is described on the basis of a single large specimen (782 mm in total length) collected from the deep-sea bottom (844-856 m) off Sumatra, Indonesia, in the eastern Indian Ocean. The new species is distinguishable from its congeners by the following combination of characters: total vertebrae 221, mandibular pores 7, lateral-line pores anterior to pectoral-fin base 18, and upper and lateral surfaces of snout smooth without papillae. Additionally, it is indicated by a statistical analysis that the new species differs from the two similar species, Neenchelys daedalus and Neenchelys sp. "similis", in morphometric characters. Availability of the three recently described congeners, N. diaphora, N. pelagica and N. similis is discussed, and it is judged that the three species names are unavailable.

  ICHTHYOLOGICAL RESEARCH 62 (2) 115 - 121 1341-8998 2015/01 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  A new synaphobranchid eel Haptenchelys parviocularis is described on the basis of 15 specimens (467-840 mm in total length) collected off the Pacific coast of southern Japan, in depths of 4,093-4,866 m. The new species is distinguishable from its single congener, Haptenchelys texis Robins and Martin in Robins and Robins 1976, in having the following combination of characters: total vertebrae 127-137, caudal vertebrae 90-98; snout short, length 42.5-53.1 % upper-jaw length; eye much smaller than gill-slit aperture, diameter 37.5-59.4 % gill-slit length and 11.8-16.9 % upper-jaw length; eye positioned closer to middle of mouth gape (postorbital length-to gape 23.5-32.5 % head length and 40.5-50.9 % upper-jaw length); gill-slit aperture wide (15.8-22.1 % head length and 24.8-35.7 % upper-jaw length), orientation oblique to body axis.

  アブラハヤはコイ目コイ科ウグイ亜科に属し、河川の上流から中流域、山地の湖沼、湧水地などに生息する一次淡水魚である。本亜種は日本国内では本州の東日本を中心に、青森県から福井県（日本海側）および岡山県（太平洋・瀬戸内海側）にかけて分布する。また、小島・疋田は北海道石狩市を流れる厚田川から本亜種の生息を報告し、これを琵琶湖産のアユの種苗を放流した際に混入し、定着した個体群であるとした。2007年6月に著者の1人である三上によって、北海道の南部を流れる安野呂川（厚沢部川水系）でアブラハヤが釣獲された。その後、2007-2009年の3年間にわたり調査を行った結果、本亜種は本河川に定着していると判断された。ここでは、得られた標本の形態特徴と同定の根拠を記すとともに、生息環境および移入の経緯などについて報告する。

  A single peristediid specimen, NSMT-P 79556, was caught from Suruga Bay, Japan, and identified as <I>Satyrichthys adeni</I> (Lloyd, 1907) based on the following combination of characters: 16 dorsal and anal fin soft rays, respectively; 4 barbels on lip and 3 on chin; rostral projection length 9.9% SL; no straight sutured line formed by both frontals and parietals on posterior dorsal head; no black spots on dorsal fin; and pectoral fin pale yellow in alcohol. The present study represents the first record of this species in Japanese waters.

  本研究では，深海底生性魚類の代表分類群の1つであるウナギ目ホラアナゴ科を対象にして，（1）形態学的・遺伝学的データに基づく多角的な分類学的再検討を行うことで日本周辺海域における分布種を正確に認識すること，（2）各種の分布特性を明らかにし，それらを海洋環境データ等と組み合わせることで，分散能力や分散制限要因を考察すること，（3）日本周辺海域で得られた知見を総合することで，世界規模での本科種多様性を再評価すること，以上の3点を目的とする． 2021年度はまず材料標本の収集を実施した．新型コロナウィルスの影響が当初予想よりも深刻となり，今年度に計画していた野外調査や博物館での標本観察（国内・国外）がほぼ延期もしくは中止となった．一方，研究協力者等からの提供により，主にホラアナゴ属で100個体以上の新規標本を得ることができた．年度後期にそれら新規標本および既存標本を用いたDNA解析（まずはmtDNAのCOI領域）を開始し，対象となるほぼ全ての種で遺伝子配列の決定に成功した．しかし，効率的な実験のためには他のプライマーセットの選出が必要であることも明らかとなった．標本の形態観察においては，リュウキュウホラアナゴ属で既知種とは顕著に異なる形態特徴をもつ標本を認めた．それらを未記載種と判断したため，新種記載論文の発表に着手した．また形態観察の過程で，より安価なX線フィルムを用いて脊椎骨数などの内部骨格情報を取得する手法を開発した．これにより，限られた予算内で，当初の想定よりも多くの個体のデータ蓄積が可能になった．この新規手法は，本研究課題のみならず，魚類分類学分野においてきわめて有益な手法となることが期待される．
