Freshwater fish fauna in Pyongchangang in which having been constructed to water supply for Chechon city was carried out to clarify the impacts of ecosystem on freshwater fish as rapid reduction of constant river flood both Sep. 25, 1994 and Oct. 7, 1994 ~ Oct. 9, 1994. It was 28 species of 21 genera on 6 Families freshwater fishes including a natural monument at and many endemic species among 6 survey stations in Pyongchang. The Pyongchang that was moved in a zigzag direction having been keep constant flood and high diversity of freshwater fishes. There was a high possibility of serious extinction on freshwater fishes as rapid reduction of constant flood in Pyongchangkang.

In the present review, the history of zoological expeditions that were undertaken on the Jordanian fauna are presented. The published zoological studies reg&ding mammals, birds, reptiles, freshwater fishes, freshwater Mollusca, Siphonaptera and lxodidae are reviewed.Some remarks are made on recent trends in zoological studies carried out by Jordanian zoologists.

The freshwater fish fauna of the Chuwangsan National Park as censused during June 1994 to December 1994 at 11 sampling sites to establish baseline data included 7 Korean endemic species and subspecies (Squalidus gracilis majimae, Squalidus multimaculatus, Cobitis longicorpus, Niwaella multifacisciata, Silurus microdorsalis, Liobagrus mediadiposalis and Odontobutks platycephala) belonging to 17 species in 6 families were collected in this region. Carassius auratus, Moroco oxycephalus, Zacco platypus, Wacco temmincdii, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, Liobagrus mediadiposalis and Odontobutis platycephala were distributed at all of the regions on this sensus. Dominant species of thes region sere Moroco ozycephalus, Zacco temminckii and Odontobutis platyxephala.

We performed a taxonomic study on Korean freshwater bryozoans with the materials collected from 70 localities during 2014 to 2016. A total of 14 Korean freshwater bryozoans are reported through this study. Among them, three Plumatellids, Plumatella fungosa (Pallas, 1768), P. repens (Linnaeus, 1758), and P. reticulata Wood, 1988, are newly added to the Korean fauna. Three species were redescribed with only their statoblasts: Lophopodella carteri, Plumatella rugosa, and Stephanosella hina (Seo, 1998; 2005; Chae et al., 2016). Their colonies were found in Korea for the first time in this study. Since Fredericella sultana, Hyalinella punctata, and Plumatella casmiana were reported from Korea (Toriumi, 1941), neither statoblast nor colony has been found, but we observed them. Living colonies of six species were photographed in the field. Furthermore, the statoblasts of nine species, including three species new to the Korean fauna, were also documented using scanning electron microscopy.

This catalogue is the result of a four-year survey of the mollusks of Jeju Island, the southernmost island in the Republic of Korea. Forty-eight survey stations were visited, with a total of 82 specific localities being sampled. Literature records were also obtained. Local and world distribution of each species is included. This survey reports a total of 1,072 mollusk species and subspecies; 1,015 marine and 57 land and freshwater. There are 812 gastropods, of which 755 are either entirely marine or have marine affinities. The best represented of the marine families are the Pyramidellidae, Trochidae, and Ovulidae. There are 225 bivalves, none being freshwater species, with the Veneridae, Mytilidae, and Arcidae having the largest number of species. Among the smaller classes there are sixteen Cephalopoda, eleven Polyplacophora, and eight Scaphopoda. Compared to mainland Korea, Jeju Island has a rather small terrestrial mollusk fauna and a depauperate freshwater one, with mainly Palearctic connections. The Helixarionidae and Bradybaenidae are the largest terrestrial families. The marine faunal affinities with the neighboring Japonic and Indo-West Pacific provinces are also discussed, revealing that this island's mollusk fauna is a blend of warm-temperate and subtropical-tropical species.

The branchiobdellidan species Holtodrilus truncatus (Liang, 1963) is reported for the first time in Korea. The genus Holtodrilus Gelder and Brinkhurst, 1990 is monotypic within the family Xironodrilidae, and the genus and family of this species are also new to the Korean fauna. The branchiobdellidan specimens were collected from the exoskeletons of the freshwater atyid shrimp, Neocaridina sp., sampled from the 'Andeok Valley', Jeju-do Province, South Korea. Holtodrilus truncatus is characterized by its terete body form, 7/7 dental formula (with a large medial tooth and three pairs of smaller lateral teeth), and no trunk appendages. In addition, we determined a partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene as a DNA barcode marker for H. truncatus. The present study is the first record of the branchiobdellidan occurrence on a non-crayfish host (shrimp) in Korea. To date, seven species (four genera in three families) of branchiobdellidans have been reported in the Korean fauna.

The freshwater fish fauna were surveyed in the Namdae Stream, Kangreung Korea in August and October in 1992. The fish fauna includes 13species representing 5 family and 11 genera, The dominent species were Pungitius pungitius $(61.49\%)$ and Phoxinus lagowskii $(28.26\%)$ and the rare species wrere Hypomesus olidus, Pseudorasnora paws and Channa agus. Based on the previous studies there was a drastic changes not only in number of species but also in species composition.

The freshwater fish fauna of the Sobaeksan National Park was censused during May 1992 to October 1992 at nine sampling stations to establish base line data for national conservation program on the National Park. Twenty seven freshwater fishes included 13 endemic species in Korea belonging to 9 families were collected in this region. Fifteen species were found in Hangang and 17 species were found in Nackdonggang. however common species were only 6 species. Dominant species. of this region were Zacco temminckii. Moroco oxycephalus. Liobagrus andersoni and Odontobutis platycephala. Morphological anomaly was appeared in 11 species include Zacco temminckii. Zacco platypus. Moroco oxycephalus. thus definitive analysis and consideration for natural conservation need to this situation.

A taxonomic study on the genera Phyllognathopus and Harpacticella has been accomplished as one of the serial researches on the freshwater harpacticoids in South Korea. As a result, four species belonging to the genera are clarified, three of which are new to Korean fauna: P. viguieri (Maupas), P. paludosus Mrazek, and H. paradoxa (Brehm).
