Abstract

Three specimens of leptocephalus larvae (33.4~35.2 mm in SL) were collected from the southern coast of Jeju Island, Korea, by an aquatic lamp on August 14, 2004. These larvae were identified as Elops hawaiensis because of their having a forked caudal fin, a smaller anal fin than dorsal fin, and anal-fin position posterior to dorsal fin.

2004년 8월 제주도 남부연안에서 집어등에 의한 연안 자치어 조사과정 중에 당멸치과 (당멸치목)에 속하는 엽상자어 3개체 (표준체장 33.4~35.2 mm)를 채집하였다. 이들 엽상자어는 꼬리지느러미가 이차하고, 뒷지느러미가 작으며, 그 기점이 등지느러미 후단부 하방에 위치하는 점에서 '당멸치 Elops hawaiensis'로 동정되었다.
