  • Seasonal variation in species composition and abundance of fishes was determined using monthly samples collected by a fyke net in coastal waters off Namhae Island in 2006. The sampling gear, both-side fyke net, is a widely used commercial fishing gear in shallow waters of the region. A total of 89 fish species was collected, the dominant species were Konosirus punctatus, Mugil cephalus, Lateolabrax japonicus, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, Sebastes inermis, Nibea mitsukurii, Clupeapallasii, Pampus echinogaster, Sebastes schlegeli and Limanda yokohamae. They accounted for 61.1% of the total number of individuals and 80.3% of the biomass. The dominant species were primarily composed of small individuals or juveniles of large-sized fishes. Abundance in the number of individuals and biomass showed peaks in April, May and September, and was lowest in January. Temporal change in fish abundance was related to the temperature and related factors.
