Abstract

Monthly variation in species composition of fishes in the eelgrass bed of Jangpyeong in Tongyeong, Korea was determined using monthly samples from a seine net from May 2016 to April 2017. A total of 32 species, 2,042 individuals and 3,991.1 g of fishes were collected during the study period. The dominant species were Takifugu niphobles, Rudarius ercodes, Gymnogobius heptacanthus, Zoarchias glaber, Pholis nebulosi and Leucopsarion petersii. These species accounted for 79.5% of the total number of individuals. The fish assemblages in the eelgrass bed showed clear seasonal changes: the number of fish species increased in March and was highest in October, while the number of individuals increased in December and was highest in July.
