Fish fauna in the eastern Yellow Sea was determined using samples collected by an otter trawl from September 1999 to November 2001. The fish consisted of 97 species belonging to 80 genera and 50 families. The major taxa were the Perciformes (40 spp.), Pleuronectiformes (17 spp.), Scorpaeniformes (11 spp.) and Clupeiformes (10 spp.). Larimichthys polyactis, Engraulis japonicus, Liparis tanakai, Pampus echinogaster, Lophius lituron and Collichthys niveatus were predominated in abundance in the study area. The composition of the fish fauna has changed during the last three decades.

This paper is given for the first time as a list of spiders from Chuncheon area, in land of kang-weon-do, mid-eastern part of Korea. Materials were collected during the early August 1972 by the Biological members of the chuncheon girl's high school, in chuncheon area. In addition to this materials collected by paik and Nam kung during July 1973 at Mt. Sam-ak which is located on south-west of chuncheon were examined. 1) In this paper, tile authors record 105 species of spiders belonging to 22 families, including 4 undetermined species from chuncheon area. 2) The followings are newly added to the spider fauna in Korea. a) Curstulina sp. b) Zelotes asiaticus(BOES. et STR.) 3) These materials are not sufficient for general discussion of the spider fauna of chuncheon area, however, an outline can be summarized as follow: 21 northern species $(20.8\%)$ 5 southern species $(5.0\%)$ 3 cosmopolitan species $(3.0\%)$ 72 plaearctic species $(71.2\%)$

To clarify the ants fauna in Chollabukdo, field survey was carried out for about 10 years from 1986 to 1995. As a result, 1,699 clonies were collected and identified. These clonies were composed of 76 species belonging to the 31 genera of 5 subfamilies. The list of ants in Chollabukdo was prepared with them involving a subfamily, 6 genera and 18 species newly recorded from Chollabukdo. In NSC analysis between areas, zones and clonies respectively, all 16 areas were continuous expect Bangchukdo. In block analysis of ant distribution. 28 species were found only in mountain-zone and 4 species in island-zone. Among 5 subfamilies distributied in Chollabukdo, Myrmicinae is the most abundant, but Cerapacinae is the oppisite. The Lasius of Formicinae is the most abundant genus among 31 genera investigated.

As a part of the commemorative joint faunal survey for the 30th anniversary of the Korean Society of Systematic Zoology, the molluscan fauna of Jindo Island was investigated based on sample collection from 6 localities from the 6 to the 8 of Jul 2016. A total of 114 molluscan species from 47 families were collected and identified. Among these, 42 species from 11 families are newly reported from Jindo Island and combining the previous records with the present study totals 157 species from 57 families. Distribution of species records indicates that marine biogeography of Jindo Island represent an overlapping zone for marine organisms which dwell in the Yellow sea and the southern sea areas of Korean waters.

House dust mites play an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases. Many factors may influence mite growth. The presence of mites is related to mean temperature and humidity as well as altitude. The aim of this study was to analyze the mite fauna in 5 regions of western Anatolia, Turkey, that have similar climatic properties with low mean temperature and humidity, but differ in altitude. During the period October-November 2004, house dust was collected from 290 homes in 5 different cities. House dust mites were isolated in 67 (23.1 %) of 290 samples. The family Pyroglyphidae (Astigmata) was present in all positive samples. This study suggests that the selected western Anatolian regions that share similar environmental conditions host similar dust mite populations.

The analysis of stable carbon isotope ratios for benthic fauna was applied to identify the source of carbon in benthic food webs in Youngil Bay, Korea. The ${\delta}^{13}$C values of 9 invertebrate species collected in this area showed a narrow range between -20.5 and -16.3%$_o$ with a mean of-18.1 (${\pm}$1.1)"%$_o$. The results suggest that the major source of organic carbon for the benthic fauna of the lower estuarine reaches and the oceanic sites is autochthonous marine particulate organic matter. The contribution of organic matter from terrestrial and riverine sources to the diet of the benthic fauna in this area appears to be minor, despite the considerable inflow of riverine waters.

Before the construction of Hantangang dam, we surveyed vertebrate fauna along the Hantangang River and collected samples. We collected 248 specimens (1,394 individuals) of 41 fish species from 10 families in four orders, including 17 endemic species and 5 endangered species. In our herpetofauna survey, we collected 47 amphibian samples of 10 species from 5 families in 2 orders, and 19 reptile samples of 5 species from 2 families in 1 order. We observed 25 species of bird (6 orders, 14 families) inclulding collection of 51 bird specimens (10 species from 5 families in 1 order). We collected 91 mammals of 6 species, and identified 7 species from field sign and direct observation from a total of 10 families in 5 orders. This collection and list comprise the final vertebrate faunal survey of the Hantangang region, and will provide basic scientific information for future research on conservation and restoration of the region.

Four cyclostomatous bryozoans from Korea belong to the genera Bicrisia, Nevianipora, Tubulipora and Crisia are described here for the first time. Of which, Bicrisia erecta Mawatari & Mawatari, 1973, Nevianopora pulcherrima (Kirkpatrick, 1890) and Tubulipora similis Liu in Liu, Yin & Ma, 2001 are newly added to the Korean bryozoan fauna, and Crisia spissus n. sp. is new to science. These species in this study are identified based on three features, which are its pseudopore, gonozooids and ooeciostomes. Two genera, Bicrisia and Nevianopora, are new to the Korean bryozoan fauna. As a result of this study, nine Korean cyclostomatous bryozoans in seven genera, five families are reported.

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.

The faunal survey on anthozoans of Geojedo Island was conducted from 17 localities of the adjacent waters of Geojedo Island during the period from February 1995 to Januray 1998. As a result, 39 species, 25 genera, 21 families, 7 orders, 3 subclasses in class Anthozoa were identified. Two of them, Callicatis japonica and Nemanthus nitidus are new to the Korean fauna.
