Part Four of the Keys ... completes the review of the largest and
economically richest order of fishes, Perciformes, begun in Part Three of
this series. It includes 12 suborders with keys and brief descriptions of230
species, and information on their ecology and distribution. This work
should prove invaluable to ichthyologists and, like the other Parts, serve as
a basis for utilizing fish stocks of the seas of the Far East. The present
volume also provides a basis for zoogeographic generalizations.

Foreword to the English Edition
The Smithsonian Institution Libraries, in cooperation with the National
Science Foundation, has sponsored the translation into English of this and
hundreds of other s cientific and s cholarly studies since 1960. The program,
funded with Special Foreign Currency, represents an investment in the
dissemination of knowledge to which the Smithsonian Institution is
dedicated.
This volume concludes the four-part treatise on the fishes of the Sea of
Japan and adjacent areas begun by G.U. Lindberg in 1959. Included are
accounts of the remainder of the order Perciformes that was begun in Part
Three with the suborder Percoidei. Twelve suborders are treated here:
Blennioidei (nine families, forty-six genera, ninty-six species), Ophidioi
dei (three families, six genera and species), Ammodytoidei (two families,
genera, and species), Callionymoidei (two families, five genera, fifteen
species), Siganoidei (Siganus fuscescens), Acanthuroidei (two families,
four genera and species), Trichiuroidei (two families, seven genera and
species), Scombroidei (three families, twelve genera, twenty-three
species), Luvaroidei (Luvarus imperialis), Tetragonuroidei (Tetragonurus
cuvieri), Stromateoidei (four families, eight genera, ten species), and
Gobioidei (five families, thirty-five genera, sixty-three species). Not
covered are the twelve most advanced orders of the fishes in Lindberg's
classification including the Scorpaeniformes, Pleuronectiformes, Tetrao
dontiformes, and Lophiiformes. It i s unfortunate that Professor Lindberg
did not complete the study of these families before his death in 1976 (see
obituary in Copeia, 1977, 612-13).
The three preceding parts were translated for the Smithsonian
Institution Libraries and the National Science Foundation by the Israel
Program for Scientific Publications. Part One was originally published in
1959 and the English translation appeared in 1967. Part Two was pub
lished in 1965 and its English version in 1969. Part Three was published in
1969 and the English translation appeared in 1971. Although the present
volume may seem dated, because of the lapse of twelve years since the
publication of the original Russian version, it is still valuable as an entry
into the extensive Russian literature on this subject which is not
viii
adequately known by Western ichthyologists. The author thoroughly
covers the literature through about 1969. References to later works
include 1970 (16), 1971 (7), 1972 (3), and one 1974 paper added in the
addendum.
Ichthyologists specializing in various groups have generously read
through the relevant parts of the translations and indicated where the
original Russian needed to be checked. The specialists include M. Eric
Anderson of the California Academy of Sciences (on Zoarcidae), Daniel
M. Cohen of the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History (on
Ophidioidei), National Science Foundation Post doctoral Fellow Edward
O. Murdy (on Gobioidei), Victor G. Springer of the National Museum of
Natural History (on Blennioidei), and Betsy B. Washington of the
National Marine Fisheries Service Systematics Laboratory (on
Ammodytoidei). I have reviewed the entire text to correct minor errors
and omissions in the translation and I have also made some minor
changes in the interest of readability.

Foreword
in The purpose of the present volume and also the boundaries of the water
bodies covered by it have been outlined in the Introduction to Part One,
published in 1959 (and subsequently, with Parts Two and Three,
translated into English). In Part One a map of the Sea of Japan and
adjacent waters is presented together with an index of geographic names
taken from the Sea Atlas (vol. I, 1950).
Part Four of the Keys . .. includes (except for the suborder Percoidei,
published in Part Three) members of the following suborders of
the order Perciformes: Blennioidei, Ophidioidei, Ammodytoidei,
Callionymoidei, Siganoidei, Acanthuroidei, Trichil1roidei, Scombroidei,
Luvaroidei, Tetragonuroidei, Stromateoidei, and Gobioidei. Representa
tives of these groups have been found in the Sea of Japan, the Sea of
Okhotsk, and the Yellow Sea. A key to all the suborders of the order Perci
formes is given in Part Three.
The 12 suborders are represented in the Sea of Japan by 30 families
with 106 genera and 190 species. In addition, 14 genera and 31 species
have been described from adjacent waters. Some genera and species have
also been considered which are found in fresh waters; they represent 1
suborder, 5 families, 8 genera, and 11 species, which occur in the water
bodies under consideration.
As in Part Three, in designating genera we did not verify the
correctness of the "type species", as implied in the decisions of the
International Zoological Congress. Whenever the term "type" is used, it
implies the type specimen based on data available in published literature.
Like the three earlier parts, this part too is primarily a review of
literature. However, for the comparison of descriptions of families,
genera, and species presented here, we examined fi.shes in the collections
of the Institute of Zoology, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Museum of
the Pacific Fisheries and Oceanography Research Institute (TlNRO), and
the Kuril-Sakhalin Expedition (KSE) of 1947-1949. As a result of this
examination, additions and emendments were made to the descriptions
and in the keys, or new keys compiled in accordance with the additional
data obtained.
The literature reviewed by us, in addition to that included in the
previous parts of the Keys . .., has been cited under the diagnosis of each
suborder.
