Abstract
Fish assemblages in the coastal waters off Gampo in the East Sea of Korea were analyzed using the samples of fishes collected with pot nets June, September, and December 2005 and March 2006. During the study period, a total of 19 fish species representing 10 families in 4 orders were collected. The fish assemblages predominantly consisted of Conger myriaster, which accounted for 38.9% of the number of individuals and 52.2% in the biomass. The next major specimens were Takifugu niphobles, Sebastes schlegelii, Chaenogobius annularis, Hexagrammos agrammus and Hexagrammos otakii. These five fishes accounted 44.1% of total number of individuals and 37.3% of total biomass. The number of fish species was the highest in March 2006 and the lowest in December 2005. The number of individuals and biomass were the highest in September in 2005 and the lowest in December in 2005.
