The freshwater fish fauna of the the Kumano Region, Mie Prefecture, central Japan, was surveyed between 31 July and 8 August 1995. A total of 1202 individuals classified into 31 species representing 9 families were collected from 18 stations (12 rivers or streams) using a casting net, hand net and small set net. Of these, Eleotris acanthopoma, Redigobius bikolanus and Mugilogobius abei were the first records from Mie Prefecture. Fishes collected in the survey comprised primary freshwater (6 spp.), diadoromous (13 spp.) and peripheral freshwater (12 spp.) species. The low number of primary freshwater fish species is a characteristic of the Kumano Region.
