Abstract
A total of 25 species, 3,880 individuals and 3,145.1 g of fishes were collected by a surf net from the eelgrass bed in Minyang. Most fishes collected in the eelgrass bed belong mainly to small fish species or juveniles. The dominant fish species were Gymnogobius heptacanthus, Rudarius ercodes, Pholis nebulosa, Chaenogobius gulosus, and Gymnogobius castaneus which accounted for 89.1% of total number of individuals collected. The number of individuals and biomass were higher from June to September when the water temperature was high. However, both the number of individuals and species showed the lowest from January and February. Highest species diversity index (H') was observed in April, 2012.
