A single specimen of Carangoides oblongus (133.8 mm SL) belonging to the family Carangidae was firstly collected by a set net from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. This species resembles Carangoides dinema, but the former is morphologically distinguishable from the latter by lateral line being shorter than straight part, the number of lateral line scutes (37~45 in C. oblongus vs. 20~30 in C. dinema), second dorsal fin rays (20~22 vs. 17~19), and anal fin rays (18~19 vs. 15~17). We newly add this species to the Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name "Chae-jjik-yu-jeon-gaeng-i".

Three marine fish species are recorded for the first time from Korean waters: a molid (Ranzania laevis, 1 specimen, 279.8 mm SL) and bramid (Pterycombus petersii, 3 specimens, 95.3-214.0 mm SL) collected from a large purse seine off Jeju Island, in the southern sea of Korea, and a carangid (Carangoides dinema, 1 specimen, 194.5 mm SL) from a set net in coastal waters off Busan, in the southeastern sea of korea. R. laevis is characterized by a wedge-shaped body and truncated clavus; P. petersii by the dorsal fin origin above or behind the posterior margin of eye, and dorsal and anal fins depressible; and C. dinema by a row of black blotches along the second dorsal fin base, the curved part of the lateral line longer than straight part, and 18 and 16 dorsal and anal fin rays, respectively. New Korean names are proposed for all three species.

As Carangoides ferdau was previously reported based on its underwater photograph, morphological descriptions have been incomplete up to the presence in Korea. On the base of two samples collected at the coast of Jeju island, morphological characters of C. ferdau are described in detail. This species is characterized by having the forepart of second dorsal fin much prolonged, 7~8 transverse dark bands on body, and snout length almost equal to eye diameter. It is morphologically very similar to C. orthogroammus, but is easily distinguished in having transverse dark bands instead of yellow spot on the body of C. orthogroammus. Phylogenetic relationships based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b (1,141 base pairs) sequences shows that C. ferdau is closely related to C. orthogroammus, and C. dinema also has a sister group relationship with C. ablongus. Both genetic distances (p-distances) are 8.2%, respectively.
