The Kuroshio Current transports various marine organisms, including tropical and subtropical fishes, from the southern regions to the northern Pacific coast of Japan (Senou et al. 2006; Matsuura 2012). The demersal fishes, including brackish water gobies, are transported during the pelagic larval phase (Senou et al. 2006; Maeda et al. 2007; Matsuura 2012). However, the path of the current shows various changes along the Japanese archipelago at various time periods, from days to decades (Kawabe 1995; Yamashiro and Kawabe 1996; Nagano and Kawabe 2004). Thus, it is possible that the path changes of the Kuroshio Current influence the presence/absence of fishes along the coastal areas of the archipelago. In this study, we examined the relationships between the path of the Kuroshio Current and the presence of several gobies by conducting a decadelong monitoring of the northeastern region of the Kyushu Island (Fig. 1 a).Data on the presence/absence of fishes were collected from 1999 to 2011 in the brackish water area of the Kita River, Gokase River system, located at the northeastern region of the Kyushu Island and flowing into the Nobeoka Bay (Fig. 1 b). Monitoring was conducted in an artificial
