The authors transplanted 31 inmature individuals of this fish from the inner part of Ariake Sound to the estuary of River Tatara, Fukuoka City (Text-Fig. 1; Pl. ⅩⅨ, Figs. 1, 2). These transplanteds were 64~88 mm in total length and 1.7~6.0 g. in body weight of one year old (Table 1; Pl. ⅩⅨ, Fig. 3). 3 years after this transplantation it was found that over 10 individuals of the transplanted survivied in the new habitat. 4 years after the transplantation 2 of the survivors were recaptured with bamboo-traps (Text-Fig. 2). One of these collected specimens was 176 mm in total length and 48.0 g. in body weight, and the another was 182 mm and 50.7 g. (Table 2; Pl. ⅩⅨ, Fig. 4). From the result of this transplantation-experiment, ecology and life history of this gobioid fish the authors analysed the factors that were essential for the fish to reproduce in a new habitat where transplanted (Pl. ⅩⅩ; Pl. ⅩⅨ; Text-Figs. 2, 4)., 長崎大学水産学部研究報告, v.10, pp.141-147; 1961}, pages = {141--147}, title = {有明海産ムツゴロウの福岡市への移植}, volume = {10}, year = {1961} }
