An Annotated List of Blenniid Fishes from Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan

During the years from 1972 to 1979, observations have been made on blenniid fishes in the waters of Shirahama on the Pacific coast of Honshu, the main island of Japan. The blenniid species observed and/or collected during the study period were listed, with comments on some aspects of their ecology and morphology. An estimation was also made on the degree of establishment in the population of each species in the study area, located at the peripheral in the distribution of the family Blenniidae.
