Abstract

A single specimen (273.1 mm in standard length) of the monacanthid Thamnaconus tessellatus was caught by one-boat trawl from western Jeju Island and then collected at Busan Cooperative Fish Market (BCFM) on 30 May 2015. The specimen is characterized by both head and body with many dark brown spots densely, posterior margin of caudal fin no black, first dorsal spine originates the posterior half of eye, and 34~37 dorsal fin rays. This is the first record of T. tessellatus in Korea; we therefore add the species to the Korean fish fauna. According to the Yamada et al. (1995), we propose the Korean name, "Nam-byeol-jwi-chi" for this species.

복어목 쥐치과에 속하는 Thamnaconus tessellatus 1개체(표준 체장 273.1 mm)가 제주도 서쪽 해역에서 외끌이중형저인망으로 어획되어 부산공동어시장에서 2015년 5월 30일에 채집되었다. 이 개체는 두부와 몸 모두 암갈색 점이 밀집하여 분포하고 꼬리지느러미 말단이 검지 않으며, 등지느러미 첫 번째 극조가 눈 중앙의 뒤쪽에서 시작하고 등지느러미 연조가 34~37개인 것이 특징이다. 우리나라에서 처음 보고되는 이 쥐치류의 국명으로 Yamada et al.(1995)에 따라 "남별쥐치"를 제안한다.
