Since its founding in 1984 as the continuation of Zoological Magazine (1888–1983) and Annotationes 
Zoologicae Japonenses (1897–1983), the Zoological Society of Japan, one of the country's oldest scientific 
societies, has published Zoological Science, a unique and prestigious international journal in zoology. The 
range of animal species that members of the Society and journal authors use in their research may be one of 
the most notable aspects of both organizations. Fish may have made contributions to nearly every field of study 
and publication, including behavioral biology, biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, diversity 
and evolution, ecology, endocri-nology, genetics, immunology, morphology, neurobiology, phylogeny, 
reproductive biology, and taxonomy. Many fish species have been used as model animals in zoological science 
study due to the recent development of contemporary molecular genetic techniques in biology. The writers of 
this Special Issue, who range in age from junior to senior zoologists, have contributed a variety of works in 
zoological science using a range of fish species.
