Abstract
The fish fauna and population of Zacco koreanus in the upper region of the Gapyeong Stream was investigation from April, 2005 to August, 2009. The collected species during the survey period were 16 species belonging to 6 families. Dominant species was Z. koreanus and subdominant species was Pungtungia herzi. korea endemic species were Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Hemibarbus mylodon, Gobiobotia brevibarba, Microphysogobio longidorsalls, Z. koreanus, Koreocobitis rotundicaudata, Iksookimia koreensis, Silorus microdorsalis, Liobagrus andersoni, Coreoperca herzi and Odontobutis platycephala, which showed a ratio of 75 % in all collected species. The species of H. mylodon was identified as natural monument, and P. tenuicorpa and G. brevibarba were endangered species. Length-weight relationship in the population of Z. koreanus was 3.44, and condition factor in the popuation was 0.004. The spawning season of Zacco koreanus was May and June.
