Abstract An annotated <strong>checklist</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>estuarine</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>, Kago<strong>shima</strong><br />
Prefecture, southern Japan, was compiled from field <strong>and</strong> literature surveys. All registered specimens<br />
previously recorded from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> in published papers were re-examined. A total <strong>of</strong> 951<br />
species (382 genera, 112 families, 24 orders), including 374 species that represent the first reliable<br />
records from the isl<strong>and</strong> on the basis <strong>of</strong> collected specimens, are listed with citation <strong>of</strong> literature,<br />
registration numbers, sizes, localities in the isl<strong>and</strong>, nomenclatural <strong>and</strong> taxonomic remarks, <strong>and</strong> color<br />
photographs if available. A new Japanese name is proposed for a bythitid, Alionematichthys piger.<br />
Zoogeographical implications <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> ichthy<strong>of</strong>auna are discussed.<br />

Introduction<br />
In 1904–1905, Mr. Robert Anderson, who<br />
was a graduate student <strong>of</strong> Stanford University <strong>and</strong><br />
usually studied birds, collected <strong>fishes</strong> from <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> Tanega-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>s, Kago<strong>shima</strong>,<br />
Japan. His collection was sent to the United States<br />
National Museum <strong>and</strong> Stanford University. In<br />
1906 Jordan <strong>and</strong> Starks reported 20 species <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>fishes</strong>, including seven new species, from these isl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
on the basis <strong>of</strong> Anderson’s collection. Thirteen<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 20 species were described on the basis<br />
<strong>of</strong> specimens from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> these<br />
are currently deposited at the Museum Support<br />
Center <strong>of</strong> the Smithsonian Institution National<br />
Museum <strong>of</strong> Natural History, Suitl<strong>and</strong> (formerly<br />
United States National Museum) <strong>and</strong> the California<br />
Academy <strong>of</strong> Sciences, San Francisco (all<br />
fish specimens moved from Stanford University<br />
around 1969). These represent the oldest available<br />
fish specimens from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
After Jordan <strong>and</strong> Starks (1906), no comprehensive<br />
reports on <strong>fishes</strong> from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
were published for nearly 70 years until 1975.<br />
Arai <strong>and</strong> Ida (1975) reported 143 species from<br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Tanega-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>s, 80 species<br />
<strong>of</strong> which were collected from Kusugawa on the<br />
northeast coast <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>. Although<br />
Arai <strong>and</strong> Ida’s (1975) report was based on collected<br />
specimens, they gave no indication <strong>of</strong><br />
voucher specimens, including registration numbers.<br />
However, most <strong>of</strong> their specimens were in<br />
fact deposited at the National Museum <strong>of</strong> Nature<br />
<strong>and</strong> Science, Tokyo.<br />
Recently, several reports on <strong>fishes</strong> from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<br />
65
<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> (e.g., Ichikawa et al., 1992; Kuniyasu,<br />
1999; Matsumoto, 2001) were published by<br />
local divers <strong>and</strong> nature guides. These were based<br />
on underwater investigations, including underwater<br />
observations, photographs <strong>and</strong> movies, <strong>and</strong><br />
observation at local fish markets. Ichikawa et al.<br />
(1992) provided a list <strong>of</strong> 580 species from <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> Kuchierabu-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>s (the latter is<br />
located <strong>of</strong>f the northwest <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>),<br />
including freshwater <strong>fishes</strong> <strong>and</strong> species reported<br />
by Arai <strong>and</strong> Ida (1975). Ichikawa et al. (1992)<br />
gave only Japanese <strong>and</strong> scientific names <strong>and</strong> 14<br />
underwater photographs but no information on<br />
observed fish sizes, localities, water depth, or<br />
specimens <strong>of</strong> species listed. Subsequently, Kuniyasu<br />
(1999) reported 333 species from Kurio on<br />
the southwest coast <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> on the<br />
basis <strong>of</strong> underwater observation; he also did not<br />
collect any specimens. Matsumoto (2001–2005)<br />
published a series <strong>of</strong> underwater photographs <strong>of</strong><br />
various <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> fish families, viz., Chaetodontidae<br />
(2001), Pomacanthidae (2002), Muraenidae<br />
(2004a), <strong>and</strong> Pomacentridae (2004b, 2005), but he<br />
also did not collect any specimens.<br />
Since <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> is very important<br />
<strong>and</strong> interesting zoogeographically (see below), we<br />
made three large-scale <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Expeditions<br />
in 2008–2009 (8–13 August 2008, 28 October–4<br />
November 2008, <strong>and</strong> 25 July–1 August 2009) to<br />
elucidate the isl<strong>and</strong>’s ichthy<strong>of</strong>auna <strong>and</strong> to clarify<br />
the influence <strong>of</strong> the Kuroshio Current on the ichthy<strong>of</strong>auna<br />
<strong>of</strong> southern Japan. In the expeditions<br />
<strong>and</strong> several small-scale surveys during this study,<br />
4,386 specimens <strong>of</strong> 457 species <strong>of</strong> <strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>estuarine</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> were collected, with 374 <strong>of</strong> the<br />
457 species representing the first records from the<br />
isl<strong>and</strong> based on collected specimens.<br />
This paper provides a list <strong>of</strong> 951 species <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>estuarine</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> (382 genera, 112 families<br />
<strong>and</strong> 24 orders) occurring <strong>of</strong>f <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
on the basis <strong>of</strong> published papers, underwater<br />
photographs, <strong>and</strong> collected specimens, along with<br />
color photographs where available. Previously<br />
reported specimens from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> (Jordan <strong>and</strong><br />
Starks, 1906; Arai <strong>and</strong> Ida, 1975) were re-identified<br />
during this study. The zoogeographical implications<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> ichthy<strong>of</strong>auna are<br />
discussed.<br />

<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Kuroshio Current<br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> is located at 30°20′N,<br />
130°32′E, ca. 60 km <strong>of</strong>f south–southwest <strong>of</strong><br />
Osumi Peninsula, Kago<strong>shima</strong> Prefecture, southern<br />
Kyushu, Japan. The isl<strong>and</strong>, roughly circular in<br />
shape <strong>and</strong> with an area <strong>of</strong> ca. 505 km² <strong>and</strong> several<br />
mountains more than 1,000 m in height (highest<br />
1,936 m), is the largest isl<strong>and</strong> in the Osumi Isl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
(<strong>and</strong> the ninth largest isl<strong>and</strong> in Japan). The<br />
Osumi Isl<strong>and</strong>s, including Tanega-<strong>shima</strong>, <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong>,<br />
<strong>and</strong> Kuchierabu-jima Isl<strong>and</strong>s, are <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
treated as a part <strong>of</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s, but the<br />
Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s are biogeographically defined as<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> Amami-o<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> southward. <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>, formed mostly <strong>of</strong> granite, has very<br />
limited flatl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> in its entirety appears as one<br />
large, steep mountain, with the mountain slope<br />
continuing under the sea. Thus, shallow waters,<br />
coral reefs <strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong>y beaches are very limited;<br />
most coastal areas are occupied by rocky reefs.<br />
Although such a monotonous environment in the<br />
coastal areas <strong>of</strong> an oceanic isl<strong>and</strong> generally results<br />
in a decrease in fish species diversity, <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> has a relatively higher diversity because<br />
the isl<strong>and</strong> faces a warm, strong water current, the<br />
Kuroshio Current, which brings tropical <strong>fishes</strong><br />
from the south.<br />
The Kuroshio Current flows from <strong>of</strong>f the east<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Philippines to the Pacific coast <strong>of</strong> southern<br />
Japan, via Taiwan <strong>and</strong> west <strong>of</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
(Fig. 1). The northwardly flowing current <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
west <strong>of</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s turns to the east <strong>and</strong><br />
flows through the Tokara Isl<strong>and</strong>s (located between<br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Amami-o<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>s) (Lee et<br />
al., 2001). The current then turns north again toward<br />
the Pacific coasts <strong>of</strong> the isl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> Kyushu,<br />
Shikoku, <strong>and</strong> Honshu (the main isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> Japan)<br />
(Kamachi et al., 2004).<br />
The Tokara Isl<strong>and</strong>s consist <strong>of</strong> 12 small isl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
in a row extending ca. 160 km north to south.<br />
There are two flow paths <strong>of</strong> the Kuroshio Current<br />
through the Tokara Isl<strong>and</strong>s (Chaen <strong>and</strong> Ichikawa,<br />
2001): the more southerly route takes the current<br />
across the isl<strong>and</strong> chain from west to east around<br />
Nakano-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>; <strong>and</strong> the other, more northerly,<br />
route flows along the southern coast <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>. The current alternates between the<br />
two flow paths on a 30–50 days cycle. Changes in

Fig. 1. Map <strong>of</strong> the East China Sea (from Kyushu to Taiwan) with the major water currents.<br />
the flow path influence other minor water currents<br />
in the area, especially the Osumi Branch Current<br />
flowing between <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the<br />
southern tip <strong>of</strong> Osumi Peninsula. During a period<br />
when the Kuroshio Current flows around <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>, the Osumi Branch Current flows<br />
northeastward from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> to Osumi<br />
Peninsula, but during a period when the Kuroshio<br />
Current takes its more southerly route, the direction<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Osumi Branch current is irregularly<br />
reversed to southwestward. So, the water currents<br />
around <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> are complex, with the<br />
flow rates <strong>and</strong> directions changing with seasons,<br />
water temperatures, <strong>and</strong> winds. These factors produce<br />
a unique ichthy<strong>of</strong>auna <strong>of</strong>f the isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Materials <strong>and</strong> methods<br />
The systematic arrangement <strong>of</strong> families follows<br />
Nelson (2006). Scientific names generally<br />
followed Nakabo (2002) <strong>and</strong> Eschmeyer <strong>and</strong><br />
Fricke (2009), with some modifications by recent<br />
published or unpublished taxonomic studies. Species<br />
in families are arranged in alphabetical order<br />
by species name. St<strong>and</strong>ard Japanese names (abbreviated<br />
as Jpn name) generally follow Nakabo<br />
(2002), <strong>and</strong> are transliterated using the Hepburn<br />
system. Each species record was compiled from<br />
voucher specimens <strong>and</strong> literature sources related<br />
to <strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>estuarine</strong> <strong>fishes</strong>, including freshwa-<br />

ter <strong>fishes</strong> collected from estuaries. Each voucher<br />
specimen includes registration number, number <strong>of</strong><br />
specimens registered if more than one, st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
length [abbreviated as SL; sometimes total length<br />
(TL) or disc width (DW)], <strong>and</strong> locality on <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> (Fig. 2). The list <strong>of</strong> specimens is followed<br />
by literature cited. Most specimens used in<br />
previously published papers were re-identified in<br />
this study, <strong>and</strong> information on SL <strong>and</strong> locality <strong>of</strong><br />
the re-examined specimens are provided.<br />

Remarks: The photographed individual has<br />
the following characters: caudal fin forked; opercular<br />
spine smaller than pupil diameter; depth<br />
<strong>of</strong> posterior margin <strong>of</strong> maxilla less than pupil<br />
diameter; dorsal fin with 10 spines <strong>and</strong> 13 s<strong>of</strong>t<br />
rays; anal fin with two spines <strong>and</strong> 12 s<strong>of</strong>t rays;<br />

dorsally; a blue b<strong>and</strong> from snout to eye; dorsal<br />
<strong>and</strong> anal fins yellowish, with bluish green basally<br />
<strong>and</strong> pink distally; <strong>and</strong> caudal fin yellowish, with<br />
bluish green stripes along upper <strong>and</strong> lower margins.<br />
These characters agree with description <strong>of</strong><br />
H. fronticinctus given by Dooley (1999). This<br />
species is distributed in the Indo-West Pacific,<br />
<strong>and</strong> has been known from the Philippines to the<br />
Solomon Isl<strong>and</strong>s in the western Pacific (Dooley,<br />
1999). Recently, Senou et al. (2006b) reported<br />
juveniles <strong>of</strong> this species as Hoplolatilus sp. from<br />
Izu-o<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> on the basis <strong>of</strong> underwater photographs<br />
(KPM–NR 31560, 62592). A juvenile <strong>of</strong><br />
this species was also photographed at a depth <strong>of</strong><br />

used the former for the species.<br />

mirabilis are within the variation <strong>of</strong> characters for<br />
E. tutuilae; thus, their E. mirabilis is most likely<br />
to be identified as E. tutuilae (M. Meguro, unpub.<br />

Remarks: This species is similar to E. bahasa<br />
<strong>and</strong> E. erythrosomus Shen, 1994 in overall body<br />
appearance <strong>and</strong> general coloration, with distinct<br />
black blotches on the pectoral-fin base. However,<br />
Enneapterygius sp. 1 has a single symphyseal<br />
m<strong>and</strong>ibular pore, whereas E. bahasa has 2–8<br />
pores. The body, including head <strong>and</strong> fins, <strong>of</strong> mature<br />
males <strong>of</strong> Enneapterygius sp. 1 is uniformly<br />
black, but the trunk <strong>of</strong> mature male E. bahasa is<br />
never black. Enneapterygius sp. 1 is most likely<br />
to be E. erythrosomus (currently known only from<br />
Taiwan; Chiang <strong>and</strong> Chen, 2008), but comparison<br />
<strong>of</strong> mature male coloration <strong>of</strong> the two is required.<br />

Discussion<br />
In this study, 951 fish species were confirmed<br />
to occur in the <strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>estuarine</strong> waters <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>, with 374 <strong>and</strong> 89 species representing<br />
the first records from the isl<strong>and</strong> based on<br />
collected specimens <strong>and</strong> underwater photographs<br />
respectively. The most speciose families <strong>of</strong> <strong>fishes</strong><br />
in <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> are listed in Table 1. The<br />
top 24 families comprise 75.6% <strong>of</strong> the total fish<br />
fauna. The Gobiidae <strong>and</strong> Labridae are clearly the<br />
dominant families, with a total <strong>of</strong> 208 species representing<br />
more than one-fifth <strong>of</strong> total fish fauna.<br />
Senou et al. (2006a: table 1; 2007: table 1)<br />
ranked the most speciose families <strong>of</strong> Ie-jima Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> the Miyako Group, the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
There are no major differences in the ranking <strong>and</strong><br />
number <strong>of</strong> species for most families among <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>, Ie-jima Isl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> the Miyako<br />
Group. In fact, the top eight families occurring<br />
in <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ie-jima Isl<strong>and</strong>s were identical<br />
in ranking (one to eight: Gobiidae, Labridae,<br />
Pomacentridae, Apogonidae, Serranidae, Blenniidae,<br />
Chaetodontidae, <strong>and</strong> Acanthuridae), <strong>and</strong><br />
the percentage <strong>of</strong> the total fish fauna that these<br />
families represent are similar (48.5% in <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> vs. 53.6% in Ie-jima Isl<strong>and</strong>). On the<br />
240<br />
H. Motomura et al.<br />
other h<strong>and</strong>, there are noteworthy differences in<br />
the family ranking between <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> the Sagami Sea (Senou et al., 2006b: Table 1<br />
<strong>and</strong> revised table as erratum attached to reprint).<br />
The Sagami Sea is located <strong>of</strong>f the Pacific coast<br />
<strong>of</strong> central Honshu, Japan, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
is located almost midway (based on latitude) between<br />
the Sagami Sea <strong>and</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s (Iejima<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the Miyako Group). Whereas the<br />
Pomacentridae was ranked as the fifth most speciose<br />
family occurring in the Sagami Sea, with 2.9%<br />
<strong>of</strong> total fish fauna, the family was ranked third<br />
in the lists <strong>of</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ie-jima<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> the Miyako Group, with 6.9–9.6% <strong>of</strong><br />
the total fish fauna. Apogonidae, the fourth ranked<br />
family in <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ie-jima Isl<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
Miyako Group, was ranked eighth in the Sagami<br />
Sea. These two families are primarily tropical<br />
<strong>fishes</strong>.<br />
In addition, although the Myctophidae <strong>and</strong><br />
Cottidae were listed as the fourteenth <strong>and</strong> fifteenth<br />
most speciose families respectively in the Sagami<br />
Sea, they were not listed from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Iejima<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> the Miyako Group. The former<br />
was not recorded from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ie-jima<br />

Isl<strong>and</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> the Miyako Group, because no deepwater<br />
or <strong>of</strong>fshore fisheries exist there. The latter is<br />
a primarily temperate <strong>and</strong> cold water family <strong>and</strong><br />
does not occur in <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> southward.<br />
These results indicate that the fish fauna <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> is more similar to that <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s, rather than the Sagami Sea,<br />
although cluster analyses <strong>of</strong> UPGMA (Senou<br />
et al., 2006b: fig. 11) showed that there are two<br />
distinctive biogeographical regions in Japanese<br />
waters: one is the Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> associated<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>s, including the Sagami Sea <strong>and</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> the other is the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Because Senou et al.’s (2006b) analysis incorporated<br />
only 567 species from <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
(mostly based on a list by Ichikawa et al., 1992),<br />
similarities between the fish faunas <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s at least family<br />
composition level were probably underestimated.<br />
The Kuroshio Current flows from <strong>of</strong>f the east <strong>of</strong><br />
the Philippines to the Pacific coast <strong>of</strong> southern Japan,<br />
via Taiwan <strong>and</strong> west <strong>of</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s,<br />
<strong>and</strong> regularly reaches along the coast <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> (Fig. 1). The similarity between the<br />
fish faunas <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the Ryukyu<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>s is most likely caused by transportation<br />
<strong>of</strong> tropical <strong>fishes</strong>, such as the above mentioned<br />
families Apogonidae <strong>and</strong> Pomacentridae, by the<br />
Kuroshio Current from Taiwan or China to <strong>Yaku</strong><strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
However, some temperate species that occur<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong> (<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>ten <strong>of</strong>f<br />
Taiwan) <strong>and</strong> do not occur in the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s,<br />
are well established in <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>. For<br />
example, Acanthoplesiops psilogaster (Plesiopidae),<br />
Parupeneus spilurus (Mullidae), Istiblennius<br />
enosimae (Blenniidae), Parapercis kamoharai<br />
(Pinguipedidae), Amblyeleotris fontanesii (Gobiidae),<br />
P<strong>and</strong>aka sp. (Gobiidae), <strong>and</strong> Gymnogobius<br />
petschiliensis (Gobiidae) are quite common at<br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>, but no records <strong>of</strong> these species<br />
have been published from the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Furthermore, <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> is the southern<br />
distributional limit <strong>of</strong> Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis<br />
(Osmeridae), a diadromous species widely<br />
distributed around the Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />
this species is replaced with Plecoglossus altivelis<br />
Checklist <strong>of</strong> <strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>estuarine</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
ryukyuensis in the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s. Occurrence <strong>of</strong><br />
such species in <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> may be caused<br />
by the transportation <strong>of</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> (especially at larval<br />
<strong>and</strong> juvenile stages) from southern Kyushu by<br />
the Osumi Branch Current that irregularly occurs<br />
between Osumi Peninsula <strong>and</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>,<br />
<strong>and</strong> some species possibly from Taiwan by the<br />
Kuroshio Current (Fig. 1).<br />
In southern Japan, several species are known<br />
to have speciated in the north <strong>and</strong> south <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Tokara Isl<strong>and</strong>s (e.g., Senou et al., 2006b), resulting<br />
in two sister species being allopatrically distributed<br />
in the Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong> with associated<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>s, including <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> (north <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Tokara Isl<strong>and</strong>s), <strong>and</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s (south <strong>of</strong><br />
the Tokara Isl<strong>and</strong>s). However, our surveys unexpectedly<br />
revealed that, in some cases, two sister<br />
species occur sympatrically at <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
For example, two closely related gerreids, Gerres<br />
equulus (primarily distributed around the Japanese<br />
mainl<strong>and</strong>) <strong>and</strong> G. oyena (Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s);<br />
two sparids, Acanthopagrus schlegelii (Japanese<br />
mainl<strong>and</strong>) <strong>and</strong> A. sivicolus (Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s); <strong>and</strong><br />
two ostraciids, Ostracion immaculatus (Japanese<br />
mainl<strong>and</strong>) <strong>and</strong> O. cubicus (Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s) occur<br />
at <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>. This is the first discovery<br />
in southern Japan where two primarily allopatric<br />
sister species in several families occur at the same<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
As mentioned above, the <strong>marine</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>estuarine</strong><br />
fish fauna <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> is composed <strong>of</strong><br />
a mixture <strong>of</strong> <strong>fishes</strong> primarily distributed in the<br />
Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong> (<strong>and</strong> Taiwan) <strong>and</strong> the Ryukyu<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>s, indicating that the species composition in<br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> is clearly accounted for by the<br />
location <strong>of</strong> the isl<strong>and</strong> relative to the Kuroshio Current.<br />
The Kuroshio Current around <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong><br />
Isl<strong>and</strong> works not only as a kind <strong>of</strong> conveyor belt<br />
for <strong>fishes</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> Taiwan but<br />
also as a strong barrier for <strong>fishes</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Japanese<br />
mainl<strong>and</strong>. The latter role <strong>of</strong> the current inhibits<br />
<strong>fishes</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> from extending their<br />
distribution southward to the Ryukyu Isl<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Incidentally, we found that some species<br />
considered to be relatively rare or observed sporadically<br />
in Japanese waters, have considerably<br />
large populations around <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>. For<br />
example, Pomadasys quadrilineatus (Haemulidae)<br />
241
<strong>and</strong> Pentapodus aure<strong>of</strong>asciatus (Nemipteridae)<br />
form numerous schools, each with more than 100<br />
individuals, <strong>and</strong> were observed throughout the<br />
year at various life stages <strong>of</strong>f <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
(Motomura <strong>and</strong> Harazaki, 2007; Matsunuma et<br />
al., 2009). Although these species are common in<br />
Taiwan <strong>and</strong> <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>, they have only<br />
sporadically been collected <strong>and</strong> never observed in<br />
schools <strong>of</strong>f the Pacific coast <strong>of</strong> the Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
This suggests that the <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong><br />
populations <strong>of</strong> these species probably originated<br />
in Taiwan <strong>and</strong>/or adjacent waters, <strong>and</strong> most <strong>of</strong> the<br />
sporadically collected individuals along the Japanese<br />
mainl<strong>and</strong> may have been supplied from the<br />
established populations at <strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong>. So,<br />
<strong>Yaku</strong>-<strong>shima</strong> Isl<strong>and</strong> appears to be a major source<br />
<strong>of</strong> some tropical fish supply to the Pacific coast <strong>of</strong><br />
the Japanese mainl<strong>and</strong>.<br />
