Abstract
Fish species composition in eelgrass bed of Geoje island, Korea was determined using monthly samples collected by a surf net from August 2009 to July 2010. A total of 31 species, 1,387 individuals and 4,776.5 g of fishes were collected. The dominant species were Rudarius ercodes, Gymnogobius heptacanthus, Ditrema temminckii, Takifugu niphobles, Hypodytes rubripinnis, Chaenogobius annularis, Aulichthys japonicus, Syngnathus schlegeli, Pterogobius elapoides which accounted for 89.3% of total number of individuals of fish collected. Eelgrass biomass showed a peak in August (DW 154 g/$m^2$), low values in November (DW 31 g/$m^2$) to February (DW 41 g/$m^2$), and started growing from May (DW 78 g/$m^2$). The biomass of fish increased by the catch of a large number of Gymnogobius heptacanthus, Chaenogobius annularis, Pterogobius elapoides, Rudarius ercodes and Pseudoblennius percoides in May and September when the eelgrass grew fast. Meanwhile, Syngnathus schlegeli, Urocampus nanus and Aulichthys japonicus were collected year-round with no clear relationship to the biomass of eelgrass bed.
