  • Twenty five specimens (40.8~58.4 mm SL) of Gymnogobius taranetzi (Family Gobiidae) were collected from the estuary of Samcheok-si and Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do, Korea. This species is distinguished from other Gymnogobius species by oculoscapular canals not extending anteriorly through interorbital space, but replaced by rows of sensory papillae; oculoscapular canal pore C is absent; some yellow bands on body in female with breeding color. The new Korean name "Dong-hae-nal-mang-duk" is proposed for this species.

  • The feeding habits of juvenile (14.0~29.0 mm SL) of Gymnogobius heptacanthus were examined based on 229 individuals, that collected from June to August 2011 in the coastal water of Geoje, Korea. G. heptacanthus fed mainly on copepods which constituted 96.74% in IRI. Barnacle larvae were the second largest dietary component. Its diet also included small quantities of tintinnids, cladocerans and decapods. Graphical analysis of the diet composition showed that G. heptacanthus is a specialized predator characterized by strong individual feeding specialization. Especially copepods were heavily selected by of juvenile G. heptacanthus regardless of prey availability.

  • This study compared the results of observing the early life history of Gymnogobius urotaenia, which lives in Hwangbocheon Stream, an inflow stream on the east coast, with the differences between fish of the same Gobiidae fishes. In May 2022 and 2023, fertilized eggs and brood stork scattered under rocks were captured twice in Hwangbocheon Stream. The spawning amount was 827~1,540 and the orchid was a elliptical in shape with a size of 3.21×1.07 mm. The stage of ovulation observed in the laboratory was 16 cells, and hatching began after 193 hours. The breeding water temperature range was 18.8~19.3℃. Newly after hatching larvae, the yolk sac with a total length of 3.84~4.33 (average 4.10±0.17, n=30) mm, and the anus was not open. 6 days after hatching of incubation, the total length was 5.32~6.11 (average 5.67±0.25, n=30) mm, absorbing all egg yolk and transitioning to the preflexion larvae, ingesting food, and developing a keynote on the tail fin. 15 days after hatching, the end of the urostyle end was completely bent at 45° with a total length of 7.33~8.52 (average 7.81±0.46, n=30) mm and transitioned to postflexion larvae, and melanophore developed throughout the body. 38 days after hatching, the total length is 22.1~26.1 (23.8±1.36, n=30) mm and the number of fins (6 first dorsal fins, 11 second dorsal fins, and 11 anal fins, 12 ventral fins) is all the number of fin base became integer and transferred to the juvenile. As a result of the study, it was possible to distinguish the melanophore of postflexion larvae of G. urotaenia from other postflexion larvae Gobiidae fish in that they were distributed throughout the body of half the body and tail.

  • The ichthyofauna and community structure in Hongcheon river, Korea, was investigated from April to October 2002. During the surveyed period, 52 species belonging 11 families were collected. There were 23 Korean endemic species (44.23%), including Rhodeus uyekii, Acheilognathus signifer, A. yamatsutae, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Koreocobitis rotundicaudata and Silurus microdorsalis. Dominant species were Zacco platypus (20.38%), and subdominant species were Z. temmincki (19.62%). Also, Rhynchocypris oxycephalus (8.45%), Pungtungia herzi (8.01%), C. splendidus (6.63%) were numerous. Of the 6 introduced fishes in Hongcheon river Carassius cuvieri, Lepomis macrochirus and Micropterus salmoides were originated from foreign countries but Anguilla japonica, Gymnogobius urotaenia, Rhinogobius giurinus were introduced from other native river systems. According to the fish distribution, the fish community of Hongcheon river was divided into 4 groups by principle component analysis (PCA).

  • Three species, Gymnogobius urotaenia, G. sp. 1 and G. sp. 2, which were collected at Hosanriver, Hosan-ri, Samcheock-si, Gangwon-do, Korea, were examined for study of the age and growth. There was no differences between sexes in growth (p>0.05) except in age 0 of G. urotaenia, However, there were differences among the three species (p<0.0001). namely, G. sp. 1 was longer by about 5~10 mm (SL) than the other two species in each age group, while G. sp. 2 was shortest in each age group: G. rotaenia, at age 0 was less than 45 mm, at age 1 to be 45~60 mm, at age 2 to be 60~80 mm, at age 3 to be over 80 mm, and its maximum size was 105.0 mm. G. sp. 1, at age 0 was less than 55 mm, at age 1 55~65 mm, at age 2 65~85 mm, at age 3 over 85 mm and its maximum size was 105.3 mm. G. sp. 2, 0 age was less than 40 mm, at age 1 40~55 mm, at age 2 55~75 mm, at age 3 over 75 mm and its maximum size was 85 mm. Changes of body parts with increasing of body length were examined and analyzed. Covariance analysis showed interspecies differences in the following characters: body depth, head length, caudal peduncle depth, upper jaw length and pelvic fin ray length. G. urotaenia had the highest K-value (the relative growth coefficient) in head length and pelvic fin ray length, and G. sp. 1 had the highest in body depth, caudal peduncle depth and upper jaw length. However, G. sp. 2 had the lowest K-value in these 5 characters.
