An investigation of the intertidal fish fauna was carried out based on the specimens collected at Sinweolseong on the eastern coast of Korea from February 2006 to October 2007. The collected fishes comprised 27 species belonging to 22 genera, 15 families and 5 orders. Family Cottidae was the most abundant in species and individuals, with Furcina osimae the most representative species in the sampling area. Hexagrammos agrammus appeared throughout the year, while Chaenogobius annularis and C. gulosus predominated. In addition, Zoarchias glaber and Goniistius zonatus, which were distributed on Jeju Island and the South Sea of Korea, were first recorded from this area.
