Ranges from the Inland Sea of Japan to Hokkaido (Ref. 559); including Sagami Bay (Ref. 39393). Also from western Kyushu (excl. Ryukyu Islands) (Ref. 11230). Two genetically different lineages were found in Japan Sea/East Sea, perhaps representing two different species (J.K. Kim, oral.comm, FishBoL2012, June 2012). |
