Salmon species 'kunimasu' rediscovered

KYOTO, Japan - Kyoto University professor Tetsuji Nakabo holds a kunimasu, an indigenous freshwater salmon species thought to have become extinct more than 70 years ago, in Kyoto on Dec. 15, 2010. The fish, which was previously only seen in Lake Tazawa in Akita Prefecture, was discovered in Lake Saiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, as the eggs of the fish were taken to Lake Saiko before the species was believed to have become extinct.
