Evidence

Peer-reviewed

Geography

Pacific coast of central Honshu, Japan

System

Coastal fish; strandings; natural history

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

A brief field report identified five stranded frogfish of two Antennarius species on central Honshu's Pacific coast across spring 2025–26\. Species identification relied on external morphological characters; specimens lacked advanced decomposition or obvious external injuries.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Small natural-history records can guide targeted coastal surveys and specimen preservation when rare events otherwise disappear from datasets.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

Five specimens, nonstandard opportunistic detection, no verified cause of death or population trend; avoid inferring warming or novel range expansion.
