 note = {To assess the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) on radiolarian inflow to the Japan Sea, we determined the faunal characteristics and water properties (temperature, salinity, density, and fluorescence intensity) of surface-subsurface waters shallower than 100m depthe in the Japan Sea off Tassha, Sado Island, central Japan on June 4, 2007. Compared with the water properties measured in June 2005, a thick temperature-stratified layer of 16.0-16.6℃ was recorded in water shallower than 32m in June 2007, indicating that the flow force of the TWC had increased in June 2007 relative to that in 2005. This finding is independently supported by broad-based hydrographic data from the Japan Sea. Although the standing stock is very low, the radiolarian fauna consists of typical cold-water dwellers (Larcopyle butschlii, Cyrtidosphaera reticulata, Spongotrochus glacialis) throughout waters shallower than 100m depth, along with a warm-water species (Spongosphaera streptacantha) that usually occurs in summer around Sado Island. Based on the compiled radiolarian faunal and temperature data, S. streptacantha can be considered a typical inflowing species transported by the TWC.},
