    Abstract This chapter provides a brief background of the empirical research in this volume by describing the position of companion animals in contemporary Japan and the context of the 3.11 earthquake and tsunami. Today, about 34.3% (Cabinet Office Government of Japan 2010) of Japanese households keep some kind of pet. It is evident from the multiple social surveys that a strong attachment to pets has emerged since the mid-1990s. On 11 March 2011, the Tohoku region in Japan was struck by a large earthquake and the tsunami that followed. This was the largest earthquake on record in Japan. The Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant was seriously damaged and released radiation which continues to be an ongoing issue for those living in that part of Japan. The serious damage to humans and other animals caused by the tsunami and the radioactive contamination is outlined. The author provides an overview of the study and shows research questions. Then, she reviews the relevant literature, noting that most of the studies are set in a Western context and pointing to the contributions that might be made by considering how one highly developed Asian society has responded to the plight of pet owners following a major disaster. The chapter ends by showing the structure of the book.

    Abstract Dasycerus occultus Hashizume Maruyama, sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens from Japan (Honshu and Kyushu). The holotype of D. japonicus Nakane, 1963 was revisited. The D. japonicus illustrated by Lbl Calame (1996) was found not to be D. japonicus but rather to be D. occultus sp. nov. The discussion also includes D. poseidon Hu Liang, 2021 from Taiwan. The phylogenetic relationships of this genus from Japan based on mitochondrial DNA sequences are discussed.

  3. Article: Impact of climatic changes on the distribution, migration pattern and stock abundance of the Japanese common squid, Todarodes pacificus in the Sea of Japan

    Abstract Japanese common squid (Todarodes pacificus) is one of the most important fisheries resources in Japan and South Korea. In recent years, the total annual landing of Japan and South Korea has been about 500,000 tons. Since 1998, the stock of Japanese common squid has been managed in Japan by Total Allowable Catch (TAC) quota system. The annual landings of Japanese common squid have varied with oceanographic conditions in decadal or inter decadal cycles, therefore, it was pointed out that the stock size of Japanese common squid may be influenced by climatic regime shifts (CRS) which are the abrupt changes in oceanographic conditions with decadal or inter-decadal cycles. The latest CRS was considered to have happened between 1988 and 1989 (88/89CRS). Sea surface temperature in the northwestern Pacific was basically lower tendency before 88/89CRS (colder regime), but it turned to warmer tendency after 88/89CRS (warmer regime). Considering the influence of oceanographic conditions on the variability of the stock size of Japanese common squid, it needs not only regulation by the fishing mortality for the proper management of this stock but also the understanding of the influence of CRS on the trend of this stock size. In this study, for a better understanding of the influence of CRS on the trend of this stock size, the following subjects were examined, 1) Clarification of the stock structure in the Sea of Japan, 2) Changes in the distribution and migration pattern that coincided with CRS, 3) Variability in the stock size and sustainable production with CRS, and a hypothesis on the processes regulating the stock fluctuation with CRS is discussed.

    Abstract A new species of the Gekko japonicus group is described from Khammouane Province, central Laos, based on distinct morphological and molecular features. Gekko thakhekensis sp. nov. is distinguished from the remaining congeners by a combination of the following characters: size moderate (SVL 67.6-79.2 mm); nares in contact with rostral; internasals absent; postmentals enlarged; interorbital scales between anterior corners of the eyes 22-26; dorsal tubercles absent; ventral scales between mental and cloacal slit 165-174; midbody scale rows 110-116; ventral scale rows 32-40; subdigital lamellae on first toe 11-13, on fourth toe 14-15; finger and toe webbing present at base, about one fifth of length of digits; tubercles on upper surface of fore and hind limbs absent; precloacal pores 1-5 in males; postcloacal tubercles two; tubercles absent on dorsal surface of tail base; subcaudals enlarged; dorsal surface of body with greyish brown blotches. In molecular analyses, the new species is recovered as a sister taxon to G. scientiadventura, but the two species are separated by approximately 12% divergence as shown by the partial mitochondrial ND2 gene.
