The magelonid polychaete Magelona parochilis Zhou and Mortimer, 2013 is newly reported from South Korea. The Korean specimens correspond well to the original description of M. parochilis in having prostomium without horn, mucronate chaetae on chaetiger 9, superior dorsal lobes on chaetigers 1-8, ventral neuropodial lobes on chaetiger 9, smooth edged thoracic notopodial lamellae, and unidirectional tridentate hooded hooks on abdominal chaetigers. Partial sequences of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) of the species were determined from Korean specimens. The detailed description and illustrations are provided with partial sequences of COI and 16S rDNA as molecular markers for species identification.

Spionid polychaete Prionospio kirrae Wilson, 1990 is newly reported from the Yellow Sea in Korea. This species is characterized by four pairs of branchiae, which are apinnate on chaetigers 2-4 and pinnate on chaetiger 5, a caruncle extending to the posterior end of chaetiger 1, the presence of a distinctly high dorsal crest on chaetiger 11, and the presence of tridentate hooded hooks with rounded apical teeth. Sequences of partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA(16S rDNA), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA(18S rDNA) of the species are determined from Korean specimens.

Scolelepis (Scolelepis) daphoinos is newly reported in Korean fauna. This species can be distinguished from its congeners by the following characteristics: the presence of reddish pigment patches on the posterior part of the prostomium, notopodial postchaetal lamellae that are partially fused to the branchiae, and the presence of only the bidentate hooded hooks. The morphological diagnosis and photographs of S. (S.) daphoinos are provided. The partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA(16S rDNA), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) sequences from Korean specimens of S. (S.) daphoinos were determined. Species identification was supported by a comparison of DNA barcode sequences of COI and 16S rDNA with morphological examination from the specimens of type locality, China.

A hesionid species, Leocratides kimuraorum Jimi, Tanaka and Kajihara, 2017 is newly reported from the sublittoral zones (100 m depth) of the Korean coasts. This species is characterized by lateral antennae as long as the palps, peristomial membrane without papillose, peristomial dorsolateral tubercles with two round marginal lobes, and pharyngeal with terminal papillae. The intra-specific genetic distance among the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COI) sequences of L. kimuraorum specimens from Japan (type locality) and Korea (this study) was in the range of 0.002-0.005. The inter-specific genetic distance between L. kimuraorum and other hesionid species were 0.166-0.307. The present study is the first record of Leocratides species in Korean fauna. This paper also provides a morphological description and photographs of L. kimuraorum, with partial sequences of the mitochondrial COI based on Korean specimens.

Thermopolynoe Miura, 1994 is a monotypic genus in Lepidonotopodinae that comprises species endemic to chemosynthesis-based ecosystems. Here, we examined T. branchiata collected from the hydrothermal vents in the North Fiji Basin. For the first time in Thermopolynoe, we report sexual dimorphism detecting nephridial papillae on segments 11-13 in males, additionally describe the morphology on elytra with round to conical microtubercles on the surface, and distinguish presence of small neuropodial lobes on segments 3-26. We also revised couple of errors and ambiguities in the original description: incongruence between the description and figure and existence of individual variation in ratio of tentacular cirri and palps. In addition, three COI sequences of T. branchiata specimens from the North Fiji Basin were newly obtained and sequences divergence with other Lepidonotopodinae species were determined. These results would contribute to the taxonomy of polynoids in a chemosynthesis-based ecosystem.

Two Pseudopolydora polychaetes, P. bassarginensis and P. reticulata, originally described from Peter the Great Bay in Russia and Taiwan, respectively, were recorded firstly in Korea with DNA information. Two species are known to have distinct morphological characteristics that are separated from other Pseudopolydora species. They are characterized by reticulate pigmentations on the dorsal sides of the anterior chaetigers, a longitudinal black band-like pigmentation on the caruncle, and black paired spots on the ventral sides of the anterior chaetigers. These two species can be distinguished morphologically from each other by the length of the caruncle. Methyl green staining pattern of the species is a good method for delimiting Pseudopolydora species. The partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA), and the nuclear 18S ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) from Korean specimens of the two species were determined. The morphological descriptions and images of the two Pseudopolydora species are provided.

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.

A new oenonid polychaete, Arabella turbidiricolor sp. nov., collected from intertidal zone along the coasts of eastern, western, and southern Korea is described. In Korea, this new species might have been confused with Arabella iricolor(Montagu, 1804), the type species of the genus, in having the following characteristics: ventralmost chaeta tapering gradually to guard, MI left robust and right gracile, MII right long, MV both with one tooth and posterior postchaetal lobe shorter than chaetae. However, A. turbidiricolor sp. nov. is readily distinguished from the latter by the following features: ventral maxillary carriers longer than or equal to dorsal, MI both distally falcate, and pygidium with two swollen pads. We provide detailed descriptions and illustrations for the new species in the present study. Also, morphological characteristics of known Arabella species are compared and discussed with a key to them.

CSIA-AAs은 섭식 생물의 영양단계 산출 연구에서 SIA를 대체할 수 있는 연구 방법으로 크게 주목 받고 있지만, 최근까지 국내 연구 사례는 매우 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 금강 하구역에서 채집된 두 종의 다모류(Nephtyidae, Glyceridae)와 두 종의 어류 (Platycephalus indicus, Lophius litulon)에 대한 영양단계를 ${\delta}^{15}N_{AAs}$를 통해 산출하고 이를 ${\delta}^{15}N_{bulk}$를 이용해 산출한 영양단계와 비교하고자 하였다. 두 정점에서 채집된 다모류의 $TP_{bulk}$는 각각 2.6과 3.1로 다른 것으로 확인되었으며, 두 산출기법($TP_{base2}$, $TP_{base1}$)에 따른 차이는 작은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, 본 연구에서 분석된 두 어종에 대한 $TP_{bulk}$는 각각 3.1과 2.3으로 어종 간 차이가 확인되었으나, $TP_{AAs}$는 3.8과 3.7로 어종 간 차이가 매우 작고 상대적으로 높은 영양단계가 확인되었다. 이는 두 어종이 어식성 어류임을 고려할 때 $TP_{AAs}$가 보다 더 신뢰할 수 있는 기법이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 본 연구는 한국 연안 생태계에서 CSIA-AAs의 활용 필요성과 그 유용성을 보여주고 있다.

패각 및 석회기질을 천공하는 것으로 잘 알려져 있는 Polydora 속(Polychaeta, Spionidae) 다모류는 종종 전복을 포함한, 상업적으로 중요한 패류에 침입하여 성장률 및 육중량 감소와 상품가치를 하락시키다. 2012년 우리나라 전복 가두리 양식장 10개소를 대상으로 패각 천공성 다모류의 감염현황을 조사한 결과, 활전복에서는 5~99%, 죽은 전복 패각에서는 5.3~70.3%의 감염률을 보였다. 이들 전복은 진주층으로 덮힌 blister 및 패각변형이 일어났으며 패각 표면에는 Polydora가 서식하는 도관(burrow)으로 연결된 2개의 구멍이 확인되었다. 여기에서 분리된 Polydora는 성체의 길이가 40mm 이상으로 검은 띠가 있는 두드러진 palps, 꼬리 말단부위의 원반형 pygidium 및 4개의 eyespots을 가지는 것이 특징적이었다. 본 연구는 우리나라 전복 가두리 양식장의 패각 천공성 다모류 감염현황에 대한 첫 보고이다.
