The Japanese threadfin bream (Provided by the Kagoshima University Museum) KAGOSHIMA A fish that was nearly a meal for an elderly islander turned out to be the first of its species ever found in Japanese waters, researchers said. Despite its name, which was coined 230 years ago, the Japanese threadfin bream had never been spotted, let alone caught, in Japan. However, that streak ended when Tadakazu Miza, 70, landed the fish at Nishinoomote Port on Tanegashima island in Kagoshima Prefecture in January 2020. Miza, who lives on Tanegashima, thought his catch, which measured 25 centimeters long, was just an ordinary threadfin bream. But since he rarely caught the species, he decided to show it to Hiroyuki Motomura, a Kagoshima University Museum professor of fish taxonomy, “just in case.”
