From March 1998 to April 2000, 4 species of marine fishes including black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli), goby (Acanthogobius flavimannus), fine-spooted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus), and croaker (Nibea albiflora) were captured from the coastal area of the Gogunsan island located in the mouth of the Kum River, and greenling (Hexagrammos otakii) was sampled from the coastal areas of the Gogunsan island and the Wan-do. Trematodes from the stomach and the intestine of the fishes were detected and identified on the basis of the morphological characteristics. Four species of trematodes were detected in the stomach and the intestine of the examined fishes ; Opecoelus lobatus Ozaki, 1925 from black rockfish, fine-spotted flounder and greenling, Coitoecum glandulosum Yamaguti, 1934 from goby, Phyllodistomum sp. Braun, 1899 from croaker, and Pharyngora sp. Lebour, 1908 from greenling captured from Wan-do. This report gave morphological descriptions of O. lobatus, Pharyngora sp. and Phyllodistomum sp. from coastal marine fishes in Korea.
