Abstract

Eight specimens (330.2~431.3 mm TL) of the family Zoarcidae were collected from the costal waters of the Byeonsanbando, Yellow Sea, Korea. They were identified as a Zoarces elongatus Kner based on the following characters: a dorsal fin with 14~16 notch-shaped spinous rays, irregular 13~16 dark spots in a row along the median body and 126~132 vertebrae. We proposed a new Korean name, 'Mu-jeom-deung-ga-si-chi', for the species.

우리나라의 황해 변산반도 주변해역에서 등가시치과 Zoarces속에 속하는 한국미기록종 어류 8개체를 채집하였다. 본 종은 등지느러미 후부에 톱니모양의 14~16개 짧은 극조를 가지고, 몸의 중앙부와 등쪽 사이에 불규칙한 13~16개의 흑갈색 점이 있으며, 척추골수가 126~132개를 가지는 특징으로 Z. elongatus로 동정되었다. 본 종의 국명을 '무점등가시치'라고 명명하였다.
