Abstract: Distribution of large branchiopods inhabited rice paddies were investigated in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. Four species were found: Caenestheriella gifuensis (Ishikawa), Eulimnadia packardiana Ishikawa, Lynceus biformis (Ishikawa) and Branchinella kugenumaensis (Ishikawa). Of these three inhabit at the center of Joganji-gawa alluvial fan, and C. gifuensis inhabits in many paddies at the toe and center of Kurobe-gawa alluvial fan. Thus the paddies of alluvial fans are important habitat for large branchiopods in this area, but the population of the Echigo Plain is low or not distributed at the alluvial fans. The difference should be mainly due to the differences in the land-use history.
