Abstract
Limnotrachelobdella sinensis (Blanchard, 1896) was found infesting Japanese crucian carp (Carassius cuvieri) held in game-fishing ponds in Osaka Prefecture, central Japan. This finding constitutes the first record of L. sinensis from non-wild fish in Japan. Leeches occurring on the inner surface of the host's operculum were large and their attachment sites were close each other, while those found in other parts of the host were small and not aggregated. Leeches are estimated to grow at a rate of 0.45 mm per day from early February to mid-April.
