| Research Abstract |
Phylogeography of Blacktip Grouper, Epinephelus fasciatus (Teleostei : Serranidae), revealed that fluctuation of the Kuroshio Current and the Izu-Ogasawara island arc caused fish dispersal between the Izu and Ogasawara islands, occurring intraspecific genetic population structure. In addition, we held the first survey in history for shore fishes in the Zunan Islands, uninhabited volcanoes located between both islands, and reported the ichthyofauna in the islands.
