The osteological development in Sebastes koreanus is described and illustrated on the basis of 32 larvae [6.11-11.10 mm body length (BL)] and a single juvenile (18.60 mm BL) collected from the Yellow Sea. The first-ossified skeletal elements, which are related to feeding, swimming, and respiration, appear in larvae of 6.27 mm BL; these include the jaw bones, palatine, opercular, hyoid arch, and pectoral girdle. All skeletal elements are fully ossified in the juvenile observed in the study. Ossification of the neurocranium started in the frontal, pterotic, and parietal regions at 6.27 mm BL, and then in the parasphenoid and basioccipital regions at 8.17 mm BL. The vertebrae had started to ossify at ~7.17 mm BL, and their ossification was nearly complete at 11.10 mm BL. In the juvenile, although ossification of the pectoral girdle was fully complete, the fusion of the scapula and uppermost radial had not yet occurred. Thus, the scapula and uppermost radial fuse during or after the juvenile stage. The five hypurals in the caudal skeleton were also fused to form three hypural elements. The osteological results are discussed from a functional viewpoint and in terms of the comparative osteological development in related species.

The morphological and skeletal development and larvae and juvenile of Sebastes koreanus were studied. The Sebastes koreanus were caught at Yeosu-si, Jeolla-namdo from March in 2014. Larvae beared at water temperature of $13.5{\sim}15.5^{\circ}C$ (mean $14.5{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$). The just beared larvae were 6.38~6.43mm(mean $6.40{\pm}0.02mm$, n=5) in total length and their mouth and anus were already opened. They began to eat rotifer and transformed to postlarva stage. 5 days after bearing postlarvae was measured 6.45~6.49 mm (mean $6.47{\pm}0.02mm$) in total length. 15 days after bearing postlarvae was measured 6.55~6.72mm(mean $6.64{\pm}0.08mm$) in total length. 60 days after bearing juvenile was measured 15.5~20.0 mm (mean $17.7{\pm}2.25mm$) in total length with dorsal fin rays X IV-12~13; anal fin rays III-7; caudal fin rays 16.

During the investigation of fish fauna from the Kokunsan Islands off west coast of Korea from 1989 to 1993, authors confirmed 102 fish species belonging to 81 genera, 50 families and 12 orders. Of these the following 8 species were common : Herengila zunasi, Engraulis japonica, Johnius grypotus, Pholis fangi, Repomucenus ornatipinnis, Chasmichthys gulosus, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, and Cynoglossus joyneri. Of the twelve orders recognized herein, Perciformes, Scorpaeniformes and Pleuronectiformes include approximately 74% of the fish fauna in this area. The largest family is the Gobiidae representing 12 species. Pholis fangi, Repomucenus ornatipinnis, Repomucenus koreanus, Takifugu flavidus and Takifugu obscurus collected are endemic to the Yellow Sea. Fifteen specimens of an unknown Sebastes species was collected. This species resembles Sebastes hubbsi and Sebastes longispinnis, but the species differs from other sebastes species reported in Korea in the number of dorsal fin rays, lateral line pores, gill rakers and in color patterns of body sides.

Sebastes minor, Sebastes trivittatus, Sebastes owstoni, and Sebastes steindachneri are indigenous fish species inhabiting the central part of the East Sea, Korea. In order to understand the molecular evolution of these four rockfishes, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of S. minor and S. trivittatus. To further analyze the phylogeny of Sebastes species, the mitogenomes of 16 rockfishes were comparatively investigated. The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) nucleotide sequences of S. minor and S. trivittatus were 16,408 bp and 16,409 bp in length, respectively. A total of 37 genes were found in mtDNA of S. minor and S. trivittatus, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes, which exhibited similar characters with other Sebastes species in the East Sea, Korea. In addition, we detected a conserved motif "ATGTA" in the control region of the four Sebastes species, but no tandem repeat units. Comparative analyses of the congeneric mitochondrial genomes were performed, which showed that control regions were more variable than the concatenated protein-coding genes. As a result of analysing phylogenetic relationships of four Sebastes species by using concatenated nucleotide sequences of 13 protein-coding genes, S. minor, S. trivittatus, S. owstoni and S. steindachneri were clustered into three clades. The phylogenetic tree exhibited that S. minor and S. steindachneri shared a closer relationship, whereas S. trivittatus and S. vulpes formed another distinct clade. Our results contribute to a better understanding of evolutionary patterns of Sebastes species inhabiting the middle East Sea, Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate the species composition and distribution patterns of intertidal fishes from the Shandong Peninsula, China from August 2006 to September 2007. The collected fishes were composed of 28 species, belonging to 21 genera, 14 families and 6 orders. Among them, the family Gobiidae was most abundant in both the number of species and individuals, while two species including Hexagrammos agrammus and Sebastes schlegelii were caught in large quantities of young fishes. In this study, Sebastes koreanus and Porocottus leptosomus known as Korean endemic species so far were collected in the Shandong Peninsula, therefore it should be revised that these two species were distributed on the North Yellow Sea and owned by both China and Korea.
