The palaemonid shrimp Exopazaemon modestus inhabits the freshwater of the Indo-West Pacific, Siberia, Manchuira, Korea, China, Taiwan (Holthuis, 1980) and is abundant in the fresh water areas of southwest of Korea. Palaemonid shrimps are adapted to a variety of habitats in freshwater, brackish and marine environments. They play important role in the ecosystem of fresh, brackish and marine waters, acting as predators feeding on algae, detritus, crustaceans and meiofauna (Bell and Coull, 1978) and in turn, as preys for fishes and other predators (Anderson, 1985).

The genus Eurycletodes Sars, 1909 is reported for the first time in Korea. A new species of the genus Eurycletodes was collected from Hansando Island, South Sea of Korea. So far, Eurycletodes comprises 27 species, with no previously recorded species reported in East Asia, including Korea. Eurycletodes (Oligocletodes) vadumus sp. nov. is morphologically most closely related to E. (O.) denticulatus Por, 1967, E. (O.) aculeatus Sars, 1920, and E. (O.) diva Menzel, 2011, but clearly distinguishable from the others based on the following morphological characteristics: absence of A2 exopodal seta, A1 last segment with two inner setae, P4 exp-3 proximal inner seta modified, the ratio of length and of caudal rami (1.6 times), and mandibular palp with three setae. Together with the new species, the number of valid species in this genus has risen to 28. A key to species of the genus Eurycletodes is provided.

A new species belonging to the genus Cyclopinoides Lindberg, 1953 (Cyclopinidae) is described from three beaches in Korea and Japan, as the first record of the genus from the Pacific. Among five species currently recognized in the genus, the new species resembles C. schulzi Herbst, 1964 from the Red Sea in sharing the character combination of 20-segmented antennule and stumpy caudal rami. However, C. orientalis n. sp. differs from it by relatively longer caudal rami (2.5-2.8 times as long as wide in female and about 1.6-1.8 times in male, while less than 2 times in female and about 1.3 times in male of C. schulzi), and by the transformation of an outer distal spine to a slender seta on the distal exopodal segment of leg 4. Moreover, C. orientalis n. sp. is discernible from C. schulzi in having a pyriform copulatory tube (against elongated tubular style in C. schulzi). A key to the species hitherto known in the genus is provided.

The family Ameiridae Boeck, 1865 (Copepoda; Harpacticoida) consists of about 380 species in 47 genera, but only 10 species have been reported in Korea. A benthic ameirid species was collected from the East Sea of Korea. Specimens were identified as members of the genus Ameiropsis Sars G.O., 1907, and this is the first record of the genus Ameiropsis in the Pacific Ocean. Ameiropsis gyeongjuensis sp. nov. is morphologically similar to A. mixta Sars G.O., 1907 and A. longicornis Sars G.O., 1907 from Norway. However, the new species is clearly distinguishable from the others based on the following morphological characteristics: the proximal segment of antennary exopod with a bulge in the middle, and with one pinnate seta; the distal segment of antennary exopod with a thickened, blade-shaped outer seta; and female P5 baseoendopod with five setae and exopod with six setae. An identification key to species is provided for the 11 valid species of the genus Ameiropsis.

Benthic harpacticoids were collected from the East Sea of Korea. Specimen were identified as members of the genus Robertgurneya Apostolov & Marinov, 1988 based on the following characteristics: the fourth segment of antennule with aesthetasc, antenna with three-segmented exopod, shape of mandible, and P1-P4 armature formula. Robertgurneya donghaensis sp. nov. is morphologically most closely related to R. simulans (Norman & Scott T., 1905) and R. similis similis (Scott A., 1896). However, R. donghaensis is characterized by the rostrum with a pointed tip, caudal rami about as board as the length of its inner edge, the first segment of the P1 endopod much longer than entire exopod, and the P5 exopod with five setae in male. The genus Robertgurneya is reported from Korean waters for the first time.

Polygordiidae is recorded as a new record in the Korean fauna. Twenty-three specimens of Polygordius pacificus were collected from the low intertidal zone with coarse sandy bottom on the eastern coasts of Korea. Morphologically, there was no doubt that the specimens are close to the holotype of P. pacificus, particularly due to the presence of elongated and longitudinal pygidial glands, and the length to width ratio. The prostomium of the Korean specimens have a rounded shape that is similar to subsequent research using scanning electron microscope. The DNA sequence comparison of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) between Korean and Japanese population supports the identification of present specimens.

We discovered a halacarid mite species, Isobactrus tuberculatus Abé, 1996, inhabiting marine plastic debris on the coast of Jeju Island, Korea. The key characteristics of these Korean specimens were consistent with those in the original description of specimens from Hokkaido, Japan, including the presence of tuberculate membranous cuticles between the anterior and posterior dorsal plates, fusion of the posterior epimeral plates I and II, tibia II with a bipectinate seta, tibiae III and IV each with five setae, and a pair of subgenital setae in females. However, two small morphological differences were noted: the distance between the anterior and posterior dorsal plates was shorter than that in Japanese specimens, and the location of dorsal seta-2 was closer to the anterior dorsal plate in Korean specimens. We herein provide detailed illustrations of I. tuberculatus, based on the Korean specimens, with a brief taxonomic comment on the similarities among allied congeneric species. The genus Isobactrus is first reported in Korea.

본 연구는 황해 중부해역의 대륙붕에 서식하는 중형저서동물의 군집 특성을 파악하기 위한 연구로서, 이를 위해 2018년부터 2020년까지 북위 35도, 36도, 37도에 위치한 수심 18~90 m의 13개 정점에서 조사를 수행하였다. 2018년 10월 5개 정점, 2019년 4월 9개 정점, 2020년 8월 6개 정점에서 봄, 여름, 가을의 3계절에 조사를 진행하였으며, 중형저서동물 시료는 직경 3.6 cm의 아크릴 코어러를 이용하여 각 정점에서 반복수 3회로 채집하였다. 조사해역의 중형저서동물의 서식밀도는 45~1029 inds./10 cm²범위로 이는 기존의 황해에서 진행되었던 국내 연안과 중국 중부해역 연구와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 중형저서동물의 계절에 따른 서식밀도는 가을에 800±69 inds./10 cm²로 가장 높은 서식밀도를 보였고, 여름에 260±48 inds./10 cm²로 가장 낮았다. 중형저서동물은 총 19개의 분류군이 출현하였으며, 평균값은 9개의 분류군 수를 보였다. 출현 분류군 중 가장 우점하는 분류군은 선충류로 전체 서식밀도의 80.8%로 나타났으며, 그 다음으로 저서성 요각류(8.8%), 저서유공충류(4.7%) 순으로 나타났다. 중형저서동물의 크기 분포는 63 ㎛의 망목을 통과하고 125 ㎛크기의 체에 걸러지는 생물의 서식밀도가 가장 높았으며 1~0.5 mm가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 중형저서동물의 퇴적물 내 수직적 분포는 퇴적물 표층에서 깊이가 깊어질수록 서식밀도가 점차 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 저서환경을 파악하기 위해 중형저서동물을 활용한 N/C ratio, MPI, ITD 지수 분석결과 계절별로 차이를 보이기는 하였으나, 전반적으로 오염을 나타내는 값은 나타나지 않았다.

강화도 여차리 앞 니질 갯벌과 사질 갯벌에 서식하는 중형저서동물의 군집구조 특성을 알아보기 위하여, 1998년 5월과 8월 두 차례에 걸쳐 조사를 실시하였다. 두 시기의 각 조사지역에서 나타난 중형저서동물의 군집 조성을 보면 모두 총 16개의 분류군이 출현하였다. 중형저서동물 중 선충류가 각 시기와 지역에 있어 가장 우점 하였고, 그외에 저서유공충류, 저서성 요각류, 갑각류의 유생, 섬모충류가 중요한 구성 분류군으로 출현하였다. 이상의 5개 분류군이 전체 중형저서동물 군집 서식밀도의 90% 이상을 나타냈다. 중형저서동물의 총 개체수는 8월의 사질갯벌 정점에서 가장 높은 $5.8{\times}10^6ind./m^2$의 서식밀도를 나타냈고, 가장 낮은 서식밀도는 5월의 사질 갯벌 정점에서 $4.0{\times}10^6ind./m^2$의 값을 보였다. 중형저서동물의 생물량은 5월에 니질 갯벌 정점에서 $1.5g/m^2$, 8월에 $2.3g/m^2$을, 사질갯벌에서 5월에 $1.7g/m^2$, 8월에 $2.6g/m^2$를 나타냈다. 5월의 니질갯벌 정점에서 가장 높은 서식밀도가 퇴적물 표층 0-1cm에서 나타났으며 퇴적물 깊이가 깊어짐에 따라 서식밀도는 급감하였다. 8월의 사질갯벌에서도 가장 높은 서식밀도는 표층 0-1cm에서 나타났지만 5월과 같은 표층부에서의 집중 서식과 같은 밀도 양상을 보이지는 않았다. 선충류/저서성요각류 값은 5월의 사질갯벌에서 가장 높게 나타나고, 8월의 사질갯벌에서 가장 낮게 나타났다.

The community structure of meiobenthos was studied at 16 stations within sandy tidal and subtidal zones in Jangbongdo in the Yellow Sea, Korea from Aug. 2006 to Jan. 2007. Meiobenthic organisms were collected by three core samples, with a 3.6 cm diameter, from each sediment sample taken with a Smith-McIntyre Grab. Mean grain size of study stations ranged from $1.49{\phi}$ to $3.55{\phi}$. Composition of sand ranged from 80.38% to 99.89%. There was reduction in total abundance and biomass of meiobenthos from summer to winter. Total densities of meiofauna ranged between 17 inds./10 $cm^2$ and 853 inds./10 $cm^2$. Nematodes, gastrotricha, nauplius and harpacticoids appeared as major taxa in decreasing order. This study shows that major taxa comprised 90 percent of total abundance. Most meiofaunal organisms are concentrated in the upper sediment layers and the total abundance and biomass of organisms in the tidal zone is higher than the subtidal zone.
