Obirame is the name of fish live in the Shiribetsu River. And this
fish is one of the largest, greatest, and rarest freshwater fish in
Japan. The RED LIST of the Ministry of Environment (1999) calls this
species "Endangered", and the HOKKAIDO RED LIST (2000) do
"Critically Endangered".
We "OBIRAME NO KAI" are trying to increase the number of
Obirame, becouse the local population of the Shiribetsu River is now
faced to extinction. We have found some sources turn the fish to extinction,
so recently we start some projects trying to refuse the sources.
Othere hand, our conservation biologists reserching the life histry
of the Obirame discovered many important facts. For example, they
proved that babies of Obirame can live only under very sharrow and
calm water. It is very near area to the coasts, for example, it means
that, in such habitat, they are very sensitive to the up-and-down
motion of the water lebel.
Any motorboats include JETBOATs cannot run without making big waves
after tails. And the big waves cannot reach coasts without attacking
those habitats.
And the loud voices of moters may please passengers, but not for Obirame.
It is certain that Obirame, not only baby but adult, is one of the
most sensitive wildlife live in the river ecosystem.
We "OBIRAME NO KAI" strongly wish NO JETBOATs (and any kinds
of moterboats) passage through all over the Shiribetsu River for Obirame.
