Manchouria (Poseta Bay), China Seas (East China Sea), S & W Korea, Japan (Naka-Umi: near Makata harbour, Sinji-Ko: brackish lake, Tokyo Bay, Tanabe Bay, Ise Bay, Lake in Hegura island, south estuaries), Okinawa (Naha Harbor), Taiwan (Tapong Bay), E Thailand, Cilacap Bay (S Java), off Tegal ( Java Sea), Australia (E & NE : Brisbane estuary, Moreton Bay, Townsville, Haughton Riv., mouth of Ross River).
Littoral, Brackish. For Ito (1956, p.470) A. iseana (= A. sinjiensis) is allied to A. bifilosa Giesbrecht, but it is distinguishable from bifilosa by the absence of the fine hairs on the dorsal surface of the abdomen and by the structures of P5 of both sexes. According to Ueda & Hiromi (1987, p.232), contrary to the opinion of Tanaka (1965, p.387) Acartia plumosa and Acartia sinjiensis are not identical. Mulyadi (2004, p.151) points to this species was originally described from the Lake of Nakaumi , a brackish lake connected with the Japan Sea, now occurs in the Gulf of Thailand, Cilacap estuary, Indonesia, and eastern coast Australia (as A. bayly Greenwood, 1978; Acartia sp. Bayly, 1965).
The species resembles Acartia tsuensis, but is distinguishable by the caudal ratio (2); exopodite of P5 in the female bearing a rounded lobe at base of terminal spine; inner prominence of exopodite 2 of right P5 in male bifurcate. For Ohtsuka & al. (1995, p.157) A. sinjiensis is apparently a warm-water species, and distributed in the tropical waters of Singapore and Java as well as in the temperate and subtropical waters of Japan.
