Abstract
Six specimens (151.4~171.2 mm in standard length) of the poacher Aspidophoroides monopterygius were collected by Danish seine net in the coastal waters off Samcheok and Gangneung, the East Sea, Korea. This species is characterized by a slender body, one dorsal fin, terminal mouth, no barbel on the head, and a pair of nasal spines on the snout. It differs from Anoplagonus occidentalis Lindberg in having a nasal spine. We describe it as the first record within the Korean fish fauna, and propose the new Korean name "Ak-eo-jul-go-gi" for this species.
