Based on a single specimen collected from the northern coastal waters of Jeju Island, we described Hemiramphus far as the first record from Korea. The specimen shows a elongated body with a prolonged lower jaw, 13 dorsal fin rays, 11 anal fin rays, 36 predorsal scales, and silvery white body with five black bars laterally and yellowish color on posterior part of lower jaw, tips of dorsal fin and upper caudal lobe. "Geom-mu-neui-hag-gong-chi" is proposed as a new Korean name for the species.

The fertilized eggs of Hyporhampus sajori (Temminck et Schlegel) were collected on the shore of Youngil Bay, Phohang-shi, Korea, on May 27, 1991, and were hatched and reared in the laboratory to investigate osteological development of larvae and juveniles. The newly hatched larvae were 7.00~8.50 mm (mean 7.80 mm, n = 5) in total length (TL) and had an ossified cranium, visceral skeleton and shoulder girdle bones. At 8 days, the larvae had attained 10.07~14.75 mm (mean 13.07 mm, n = 5) in TL had elongated dentaries anteriorly, and their vertebral columns were posteriory ossified. At 14 days, the larvae had attained 17.62~19.35 mm (mean 19.20 mm, n = 5) in TL, had ossified pterygiophores, and 41 slender ribs on the vertbrae. At 16 days, the larvae were 18.90~24.72 mm (mean 23.00 mm, n = 5) in TL and had three ossified epurals. Ossification of the jaw bone and operculum of the newly hatched larvae, which was related to feeding and respiration was almost completed 37 days after hatching.
