Abstract

Two specimens of Ruvettus pretiosus (227.0 and 238.3 mm in standard length), belonging to the family Gempylidae, was firstly collected by using a gill net from the eastern coastal waters of Jejudo Island, Korea in November 2013. This species is characterized by having the following morphological traits: XV, 17~19+2 dorsal fin rays; II, 15~16+2 anal fin rays; belly keeled between pelvic fin and anus; body covered with cycloid scales, interspaced with rows of sharp bony tubercles. R. pretiosus can be easily distinguished from three Korean Snake mackerels (Thyrsitoides marleyi, Rexea prometheoides and Gempylus serpens) by having belly keeled between pelvic fin and anus, and cycloid scales covered the body and interspaced with rows of sharp bony tubercles. Based on morphological and molecular approaches, the specimens were identified as R. pretiosus. We propose new Korean names, "Gi-reum-chi-sok" and "Gi-reum-chi" for the genus and species, respectively.

갈치꼬치과에 속하는 Ruvettus pretiosus 2개체(표준 체장 227.0 mm와 238.3 mm)가 2013년 11월에 제주도 연안에서 자망으로 처음 채집되었다. 이 종의 특징은 등지느러미 기조수 XV, 17~19+2개를 갖는 점, 뒷지느러미 기조수 II, 15~16+2개를 갖는 점, 거의 직선인 한 개의 측선을 갖는 점, 그리고 배지느러미와 항문 사이에 융기선이 있다는 점이다. 이 종은 우리나라에서 서식하는 갈치꼬치과 어류 3종(갈치꼬치, 통치 및 세장갈치꼬치)과 배지느러미와 항문 사이에 융기선이 있는 점(3종은 융기선 없음)과 둥근 비늘이 날카로운 관 사이에 널리 퍼져 있는 점(3종은 피부가 매끈함)으로 쉽게 구분할 수 있다. 이 미기록종의 속명과 국명은 각각 "기름치속"과 "기름치"로 제안한다.
