Although the land area of Japan is small, the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Japan ranks as the sixth largest in the world, including several marginal seas (Sea of Okhotsk, Sea of Japan, and East China Sea), and deep trenches (Izu-Ogasawara, Japan, and Kurile Trenches).

“This book is attractive, well designed, and, thanks to the editors, very well organized and uniform throughout, printed on thick, highly opaque paper. Each chapter is provided with an abstract, a set of key words, and an introduction, and each is illustrated with numerous, high quality figures (mostly in color), and documented with numerous references. An extensive index makes up the back matter.” (Theodore W. Pietsch, Ichthyology & Herpetology, Vol. 111 (1), 2023)
