Abstract
One specimen of Albula argentea (296.3 mm in standard length), belonging to the family Albulidae, was collected in a set net in the coastal waters of Jejudo Island, Korea. As the adult A. argentea has not been caught from Korean waters, we described its morphological characters based on the collected specimen and compared them with those of the previous reports on A. argentea and A. koreaus. As a result, the present specimen was characterized by having 68~73 pored lateral line scales (vs. 77~78 for A. koreana), 72~73 vertebrae pored lateral line scales (vs. 77~80) and none streak on the check (vs. yellowish streak). Molecular analysis using the mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences was also conducted to confirm the correctness of species identification and taxonomic status of the sample.
