Abstract
Seasonal fluctuation in abundance and species composition of fish in coastal waters off Dolsan island were investigated using seasonal samples collected by an otter trawl in 2012. A total of 4,848 fishes were sampled and classified into 52 species, 29 families, and 7 orders. The dominant species was Leiognathus nuchalis (2,786 individuals, 57.5%), Amblychaeturichthys hexanema (164 individuals, 3.4%), and Ilisha elongata (141 individuals, 2.9%). The highest number of individuals was found in summer (2,174 individuals), while the lowest number of individuals was found in winter (321 individuals). The diversity index was the highest in spring (H'=3.06) and the lowest in summer and fall (H'=1.77). Temperature was the principal factor to determine the collected number of individuals (r=0.94) and the number of species (r=0.83).
