Abstract
Three species of gammaridean amphipods are reported from four cultured abalones in Jeju Island, Korea. These amphipods are Ampithoe uolida Smith, Elasmopus rapax Costa, and Melita rylovae Bulycheva which were found from the abalones Haliotis discus hannai Ino, H. discus Reeve, H. diversicolor aquatilis Reeve, and H. sieboldii Reeve. Elasmopus rapax, a new record to Korean fauna, is described in detail. Other two gammaridean species are briefly described with diagnostic characters. These amphipods and abalones revealed no species-specific relationship and are considered to be simple and accidential associates.
