: The field samplings and experiments using an electrofishing unit were conducted with permission from the Ehime Prefectural Government. Individuals were captured by electrofishing and tagged with VIE marks—both of which are invasive procedures—but were released back into their original habitats after the experiments. At least some were later confirmed to have survived, suggesting that the experimental procedures had minimal long-term impact.
