In animal news, a rare species of Japanese salmon is rediscovered. Black kokanee or “kunimasu,”
a fish that grows up to 30 centimeters, had not been seen since 1940, and was declared
to be extinct. Recently, however, Professor Tetsuji Nakabo and colleagues of Kyoto University
found the fish in Lake Saiko. Professor Nakabo said, “This is a very interesting fish - it’s
a treasure. We have to protect it and not let it disappear again.” Professor Nakabo
stated that the species will survive if Lake Saiko’s environment is maintained and the
fish are protected.
Congratulations, Professor Tetsuji Nakabo and team, on this wonderful discovery. May
the precious black kokanee thrive as humanity develops to be devoted guardians of the sacred
animal kingdom�
