Abstract
Population characteristics of Zacco koreanus were investigated at 4 stations in three National Parks of Korea from April to October 2012. Total length ranged 47mm~160 mm and weight ranged 0.50~41.50 g. Parameter b values in length-weight relationships ranged 2.883~3.497, which represent favorable conditions for habitation. Condition factor (K) had the range from 0.689 to 1.012. In relationships with sympatric fishes, the length-weight relationship (b) revealed inverse proportion to the number of species and populations. It is suggested that these differences resulted from the various factors including sympatric fishes, water temperature, seasonal changes, and surveyed stations.
