Abstract
A total of 4 pelagic eggs and 24 larval fish species were collected in Masan Bay. Engraulis japonicus eggs predominated in pelagic eggs. Abundant larval fishes were Omobranchus elegans, Scomber japonicus, Acanthogobius flavimanus, Hexagrammos otakii, Repomucenus sp., Scartella cristata and Gobiidae sp., and these 7 species accounted for 78.5% in the total number of individuals. Temporal and spatial variation in both species composition and abundance of was large: the peak abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes occurred in July 2007, whilst these were lowest in February 2007. Higher abundance of ichtyoplankton were at station 5 than those of other stations. Temporal changes in the abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes corresponded with temperature. Pelagic eggs and larval fishes varied among stations between with shallower inner stations and deeper outer stations with physical characteristics such as depth and local topography.
