Abstract
Live specimens of the piscicolid leech Limnotrachelobdella okae (Moore, 1924) were found in October 2003 and 2007 on sockeye salmon ncorhynchus nerka kept at an aquarium in Hokkaido, northern Japan. These salmon returned as adults for spawning from the North Pacific Ocean to a river in okkaido in the summer of these years and were provided to the aquarium after they were kept for a few months in a springwater pond. The leeches are considered to have been carried by O. nerka from the sea to the river and since have survived in fresh water. Oncorhynchus nerka is a new host of L. okae.
