The Present Status and Problems of Threatened Benthic Animals in the Tidal Flats of Japan

Abstract: The present status and problems of threatened benthic animals in the tidal flats of Japan are discussed. These issues came to light during the editing process of Threatened Animals of Japanese Tidal Flats: Red Data Book RDB of Seashore Benthos Japanese Association of Benthology, 2012. In this book, 651 species 462 molluscs, 138 arthropods, 21 polychaetes, and 30 other invertebrates were designated as threatened benthic animals and categorized as follows; one Extinct, 38 Critically Endangered, 76 Endangered, 16… Show more

“…As a result, various benthic communities adapted to an estuarine environment occur (Itsukushima et al, 2017;Itsukushima, Yoshikawa, & Morita, 2019). Although these estuarine environments have been devastated in central Japan, such as Tokyo Bay, as a result of anthropogenic impacts (Yuhara & Furota, 2014), natural environments remain in the Kyushu region (Henmi et al, 2014(Henmi et al, , 2017, which is an important conservation area for estuarine ecosystems in Japan.…”

“…For example, in Tokyo Bay (Yuhara et al 2013(Yuhara et al , 2016 and the Mikawa and Ise bays (Kimura & Kimura 1999), most wetlands with reed fields Phragmites australis in coastal areas have disappeared and many macro-benthic local populations have declined drastically. Also in the Ariake and Yatsushiro sea areas, many salt marshes have been lost, but many healthy salt marshes still persist with relatively high biodiversity (Wada et al 1996;Henmi et al 2014), having many endangered and endemic species (Japanese Association of Benthology 2012). However, like other regions in Japan, little information is available on the flora and fauna that inhabit the salt marshes in the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas.…”

“…Wada et al (1996) recommended that O. futamiensis be designated a near-threatened species. However, Henmi et al (2014) summarized claims made by other marine benthic researchers who maintain that O. futamiensis should not be designated as near-threatened because O. futamiensis is possibly a junior synonym of O. denselamellosa.…”
