Market research was performed between December 2009 and August 2011 to investigate the current state of aquatic animals sold as bait for sport fishing in Western Japan. At least 27 species of bait—including nine polychaetes, one echiuran, one sipunculan, three bivalves, at least ten crustaceans, and three fishes—were sold at fishing bait shops in Osaka and Hiroshima prefectures. These animals were divided into four types: 1) non-native species imported from foreign countries (at least four species), 2) native species imported from foreign countries (eighteen species), 3) invasive species supplied in Japan (two species), and 4) native species supplied only in Japan (three species).
