The taxonomic revision of the family Clupeidae was conducted based on the specimens collected from the coasts of Korean Peninsula from 1990 to 1995. Eleven species belonging to ten genera are reviewed and provisional keys to species and genera are provided with synonyms and their distributions. Ilisha elongata (Bennett, 1830) is proposed as a replacement name for Pristigaster chinensis, Etrumeus teres (De Kay, 1842) for E. micropus, Spratelloides gracilis (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) for S. japonicus, Sardinella jussieu (Valenciennes, 1847) for S. immaculata, Sardinella zunasi (Bleeker, 1854) for Harengula zunasi, and Tenualosa reeuesii (Richardson, 1846) for Macrura reeuesii respectively. Most species of the family Clupeidae in Korea are shared with Chinese and Japanese faunas including tropical and temperature species without endemics.

Two specimens of Sardinella lemuru Bleeker, 1853 were collected for the first time from the adjacent waters of Cheju Island, Korea, in March 1997. S. lemuru is very similar to S. zunasi (Bleeker, 1854) in external features but differs in the number of anal fin rays. While S. lemuru is difficult to differentiate by color from Clupea pallasii valenciennes, 1847 the two are easily differentiated by their gill raker counts. We propose "Bali-paen-dang-i" as a new Korean name for S. lemuru.

To determine if fish density, biomass, species richness, and species diversity were greater in ecotone than the stream and littoral zones, I sampled fish monthly in the Ledbetter Creek through Ledbetter Creek Embayment in Kentucky Lake, Kentucky, from April to October 1996 by using throw traps. During the first four months (daytime only) fish density did not vary significantly among zones or among months. However, there were significant differences among zones during the last three months and the stream zone had significantly higher mean fish density than both the littoral zone and the ecotone. Fish biomass also differed significantly among zones during the last three months. The stream zone had the highest mean fish biomass among zones, significantly higher than the ecotone, but not different than the littoral zone. There were no statistically significant differences among zones during the first four months, but mean fish biomass in the stream zone was about eight times higher than the ecotone, The stream zone had the highest fish species richness among zones. Differences were significant among zones during the last three months, and the stream zone (0.98 $\pm$ 0.04) had significantly greater mean fish species richness than the ecotone (0.45 $\pm$ 0.01), but not significantly than the littoral zone (0.56 $\pm$ 0.17). Fish species richness differed significantly among months during the first four months, Monthly species diversities ranged from 0.62 to 1.96 in the stream zone, 0 to a.57 in the ecotone, and 0 to 2.60 in the littoral zone. Combined species diversities in the stream, the ecotone , and the littoral zones were 2.72, 3.58, and 3.10, respectively, There were five families of fishes captured frequently enough for their individual numbers to comprise at least 8 % of the total. Family rankings in the stream zone were opposite of the littoral zone. Percidae was the most abundant family and Clupeidae was absent in the stream zone, whereas Percidae was uncommon and Clupeidae was the most abundant family in the littoral zone. Atherinidae was dominant in the ecotone. Five of the most abundant species comprised 65 % of the total number. The guardian darter occurred only in the stream zone, and it was consistently found in riffles. Longear sunfish and central stoneroller also had significant differences of mean fish densities among zones, and they were found mostly in the stream zone. Threadfin shad and bullhead minnow were almost exclusively caught in the littoral zone. I finally concluded that the ecotone between the stream and the littoral zone in this small-scale freshwater aquatic ecosystem was not as productive as the ones in other ecosystems.

The fish fauna from the Yellow Sea was reviewed based on the published materials from Korea and China. As a results, author confirmed 389 species belonging to 257 genera, 123 families and 27 orders. Among them, the ascertained species in the western coast of Korean were 233 species belonging to 161 genera, 80 families and 20 orders, and those distributed in the Chinese water were 300 species belonging to 213 genera, 115 families and 27 orders. The largest fish group in this area was order Perciformes having 164 species belonging to 114 genera and 51 families, followed by order Scorpaeniformes comprising 45 species belong to 27 genera and 11 families, and order Pleuronectiformes having 34 species belong to 24 genera and 5 families. The important species in Korea economically were families Rajidae, Anguillidae, Clupeidae, Engraulidae, Scorpaenidae, Serranidae, Platycephalidae, Sciaenidae, Mugilidae, Trichiruridae, Stromateidae, Cynoglossidae, Pleuronectidae, Tetraodontidae. There were 9 endemic species in the westernsea of Korea : Neosalanx jordani, Pseudosciaena poliactis, Repomucenus koreanus, Repomucenus leucopoecilus, Achanthogobius elongata, Scartelaos sp., Cynoglossus joyneri, Takifugu flavidus and Takifugu obscurus.

The purpose of the present study was to describe the morphological and skeletal development of the larvae and juvenile of Ilisha elongata(Bennett). The larvae(mean 5.02 mm in total length, TL) opened the mouth and anus with 36~38+15~16=51~54 myotomes, and anus located about 73.0% of TL. The clavicle of shoulder girdle was ossified. The larvae(mean 7.82 mm in TL) have all fin-fold differentiated and its caudal notochord began to flex. Parasphenoid of cranium and dentary of the lower jaw were ossified. The caudal notochord of the larva(mean 9.84 mm) was flexed $45^{\circ}$, and anus located about 67.0% of TL. The body height of the larvae(mean 23.32 mm in TL) were 18.0~20.0% of TL, and the aggregate numbers of all fin rays were completed. Ossification was completed in the larva of mean 26.52 mm in TL.

Five days after hatching in Konosirus punctatus, the larvae were 5.86~6.21 mm (mean 5.96 mm) in TL and ossified parasphenoid, prefrontal, premaxillary, dentary. Sixteen days after hatching, the larvae were 9.66~10.18 mm (mean 9.96 mm) in TL and ossified prootic, opisthotic, ectopterygoid, and epihyal. Twenty-five days after hatching, the larvae were 11.02~12.64 mm (mean 11.03 mm) in TL and ossified supraclavicle, posttemporal, four actinost. Twenty-eight days after hatching, the larvae were 11.98~12.81 mm (mean 12.34 mm) in TL and ossified frontal, pterotic, epiotic, exoccipital, basioccipital, preorbital, maxillary, hyomadibular, preopercle, opercle, hypohyal. Thirty-six days after hatching, the larvae were 15.26~16.39 mm (mean 16.11 mm) in TL and ossified scapula. 37 days after hatching, the larvae were 15.33~16.87 mm (mean 16.25 mm) in TL and ossified ethmoid, nasal, parietal, supraoccipital, and suborbital. Forty-five days after hatching, the larvae were 20.01~21.83 mm (mean 21.14 mm) in TL, and the shoulder girdle was completed by coracoid formation. Forty-eight days after hatching, the larvae were 22.46~24.03 mm (mean 23.20 mm) in TL and ossified articular and subopercle. When the juvenile reached 27.11~34.09 mm (mean 30.11 mm) in TL (53 days after hatching) completed ossification of the cranium, vertebrae, pelvic girdle, shoulder girdle, caudal bone, and pterygiophore.
