Description

An adult male of Argulus coregoni Thorell, 1864, was collected from the body surface of an ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846), in the middle reaches of the Ani River, a tributary of the Yoneshiro River, Akita Prefecture, northern Honshu, Japan. The previous northernmost record of A. coregoni in Japan is from Fukushima Prefecture, and the present collection extends its geographical distribution from Fukushima Prefecture northward to Akita Prefecture in Japan.
