Abstract

Two specimens of Antennarius pictus, belonging to the family Antennariidae, were collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. They were characterized by having 7 anal fin rays, 10 pectoral fin rays, 12 dorsal fin rays, 9 caudal fin rays, and second spine of dorsal fin diminishing and curved backwards distally. Since this species has various sizes of round black spots on head, body and fins, we propose a new Korean fish name "Heuk-jum-bak-ssin-beng-i" for A. pictus.

씬벵이과 (Antennariidae)에 속하는 Antennarius picus 2개체가 제주도 연안에서 처음으로 채집되었다. 이 종은 뒷지느러미 연조가 7개, 가슴지느러미 연조 10개, 등지느러미 연조 127개, 꼬리지느러미 연조 9개를 가지며, 제2등지느러미 가시의 말단은 기부보다 좁고 뒷방향으로 굽어져 있는 특징을 갖는다. 그리고 어류의 머리, 몸통, 지느러미 부위에 다양한 크기의 검은 점들을 가지고 있기 때문에 본종의 신한국명을 "흑점박씬벵이"로 명명하였다.
