The fish fauna of the Sekine River, a small river system in the Miura Peninsula, Kanagawa Prefecture, was investigated in May and November, 2016. A total of 10 species belonging to 4 families (Anguillidae, Plecoglossidae, Mugilidae and Gobiidae) were recorded. Rhinogobius brunneus, a near threatened species according to The Red Data Species in Kanagawa Prefecture 2006, was distributed along the entire river and its tributaries. These facts emphasize the ecological and conservational importance of the Sekine River.
