Cottus nozawae is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. It is found in southern Sakhalin Island in Russia, Hokkaido and northern Honshu in Japan and in the Korean Peninsula.[1] It reaches a maximum length of 6.9 cm.[2] This species was first formally described in 1911 by the American ichthyologist John Otterbein Snyder with its type locality given as the Ishikari River at Sapporo on Hokkaido.[3] This species is sometimes placed in the subgenus Cephalocottus. The specific name honours zoologist Shunjiro Nozawa, Director of the Fisheries Bureau on Hokkaido.[4]
