Abstract

Spotted halibut Verasper variegatus juveniles were first collected from tidal flats around river mouths in Hiroshima Prefecture, the central Seto Inland Sea. A juvenile of 24.0 mm total length (TL) was collected from the Kurose River, Kure City, on 18 March 2014 and another of 63.0 mm TL from the Kamo River, Takehara City, on 30 May 2014. Salinity at the sampling sites ranged 3.7-14.7. The juveniles fed mainly on crustaceans such as amphipods and mysids. Tidal flats with low salinity are suggested as one of the juvenile habitats in the Seto Inland Sea.
