The Intensifying East China Sea Kuroshio and Disappearing Ryukyu Current in a Warming Climate
Geophysical Research LettersThe East China Sea Kuroshio (ECS‐Kuroshio) and the Ryukyu Current are the major poleward heat carriers in the North Pacific. Anomalous changes of ECS‐Kuroshio and Ryukyu Current could exert substantial influence on the climate in mid‐latitude regions ...

The Kuroshio radiocesium stream
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022 The Fukushima accident released short-lived Cs-134 and longer-lived Cs-137 to the ocean. The amount, although substantial, is much less than that produced during the atomic bomb tests 60 years ago. But, the latter has received little attention. Here we found only Cs-137 in waters near the origin of the Kuroshio.

High species diversity of the soft coral family Xeniidae (Octocorallia, Alcyonacea) in the temperate region of Japan revealed by morphological and molecular analyses [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2019 The soft coral family Xeniidae, commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, consists of 20 genera and 162 species. To date, few studies on this family have been conducted in Japan, especially at higher latitudes.

Estimation of the maximum utilization area including home range and peripheral sites
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 There is increasing evidence that occasional utilization area (peripheral sites), in addition to typical utilization area (home range), is important for wildlife conservation and management. Here we estimated the maximum utilization area (MUA), including

Xenia konohana sp. nov. (Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Alcyonacea), a new soft coral species in the family Xeniidae from Miyazaki, Japan [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2022 A new soft coral species, Xenia konohana sp. nov. (Alcyonacea, Xeniidae), is described from Miyazaki in the warm-temperate region of Japan. This new species has conspicuous and unique spindle sclerites in addition to the simple ellipsoid platelet-shaped ...

Synchronized decadal variabilities in the Kuroshio and Kuroshio Extension system
Progress in Oceanography, 2022 Using satellite altimetry and wind stress data, the spatially coherent decadal variabilities in current intensity and current path during 1993-2018 were investigated for a western boundary current system, namely, the Kuroshio from the east of Luzon Island to the south of Japan and the Kuroshio Extension (KE).

Effects of the Kuroshio on internal tides in the Luzon Strait: A model study
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Internal tides have a great impact on the meridional overturning circulation and climate variability through contributing to diapycnal mixing. The Luzon Strait (LS) is one of the most important sites of internal tide generation in the global ocean.
