“…Similar problems were apparent in a global phylogenetic analysis of allozyme variations in ninespine sticklebacks by Haglund et al (1993). They analyzed populations of P. pungitius, including P. sinensis from nine locations within its natural range, and suggested that the pungitius-sinensis complex comprised three clades, each associated with a continental mass: the European, North American, and Asian clades.…”

“…It must be added, however, that a close relationship between (or synonymy of) P. pungitius and P. sinensis has been suggested by many workers from morphological, zoogeographical, biochemical, and phylogeographical points of view (e.g., Takata et al, 1984;Niwa, 1987;Haglund et al, 1993). Since the haplotypes of the "islands" population were characterized by lineage A with all P. pungitius haplotypes, the present results agree with these views only in respect to the population in the "islands" region.…”

“…Gasterosteus nipponicus (Japan Sea stickleback) (Watanabe et al, 2003), which is older than that of other freshwater G. aculeatus populations in the world (Hagland et al, 1992;Bell and Foster, 1994;McKinnon and Rundle, 2002). Although similar phenotypic changes are usually observed, such as reduced numbers of armor plates, reduced thyroid hormone levels, shortened spine lengths and increased body depth, the genetic bases for the parallel phenotypic changes often differ between Hariyo and other freshwater stickleback populations Colosimo et al, 2005;Kitano et al, 2010;Jones et al, 2012a;O'Brown et al, 2015).…”

Stickleback fishes have been established as a leading model system for studying the genetic mechanisms that underlie naturally occurring phenotypic diversification. Because of the tremendous diversification achieved by stickleback species in various environments, different geographical populations have unique phenotypes and genotypes, which provide us with unique opportunities for evolutionary genetic research. Among sticklebacks, Japanese species have several unique characteristics that have not been found in other populations. The sympatric marine threespine stickleback species Gasterosteus aculeatus and G. nipponicus (Japan Sea stickleback) are a good system for speciation research. Gasterosteus nipponicus also has several unique characteristics, such as neo-sex chromosomes and courtship behaviors, that differ from those of G. aculeatus. Several freshwater populations derived from G. aculeatus (Hariyo threespine stickleback) inhabit spring-fed ponds and streams in central Honshu and exhibit year-round reproduction, which has never been observed in other stickleback populations. Four species of ninespine stickleback, including Pungitius tymensis and the freshwater, brackish water and Omono types of the P. pungitius-P. sinensis complex, are also excellent model systems for speciation research. Anthropogenic alteration of environments, however, has exposed several Japanese stickleback populations to the risk of extinction and has actually led to extinction of several populations and species. Pungitius kaibarae, which is endemic to East Asia, used to inhabit Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures, but is now extinct. Causes of extinction include depletion of spring water, landfill of habitats, and construction of rivermouth weirs. Here, we review the importance of Japanese sticklebacks as genetic resources, the status of several endangered stickleback populations and species, and the factors putting these populations at risk.

“…In North Atlantic, furthermore, G. aculeatus collected in the ocean, apart 500 km from the nearest land had nearly maturing gonads, suggesting the fishes would reach full breeding condition in the sea (Jones & John 1978). These marine populations belong to the European and eastern North American clade (Haglund et al 1992).…”

A part of the Japan Sea form of the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, spawns in the seawater tidal pools of western Hokkaido Island, Japan

SynopsisThe Japan sea form of the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, was found to spawn in the seawater tidal pool of the Cape Benkei, western Hokkaido Island, Japan, in 2001 and 2003. Nest-guarding males, adult females and juveniles of this form were also observed in four tidal pools of the Capes Benkei, Kabuto and Kamui, in 2001-2003. Otolith Sr:Ca ratios in sticklebacks collected from these tidal pools were relative high from the core to the edge, suggesting they lived in seawater environments throughout its life cycle. These findings suggest that a part of the Japan Sea form's individuals in western Hokkaido Island have the potential to breed in the coastal sea and the life history style has evolved in dependence on the seawater environment.2
