Food habits of the gavelin goby Acanthogobius hasta and the fine spot goby Chaeturichtys stigmatias populations were investigated in the Jangbong tidal flat near Incheon, Korea. Samples were taken monthly from November 1999 to January 2001. The gut contents of 248 gavelin gobies and 139 fine spot gobies were analyzed. The diet of the gavelin goby was dominated by the gammaridean amphipod Chitinomandibulum emargicoxa, the crabs Macrophthalmus japonicus and Ilyoplax pingi, the shrimp Exopalaemon carinicauda, the bivalve Raetellops pulchella and the macro-algae Porphyra tenera. On the other hand, the fine spot goby mainly feed on the shrimps Crangon affinis, Latreutes mucronatus, E. carinicauda and Alpheus japonicus, the gammaridean amphipods C. emargicoxa and Synchelidium miraculum, and the bivalve R. pulchella. A comparison between frequencies of occurrence and abundance of food items in the gut showed that crustaceans (gammaridean amphipods, crabs and shrimps) and bivalves were important foods for the two gobies. However, the main components of the gut contents were different between two species, though this was probably due to differences in spatial distribution patterns of gobies and their prey items. In conclusion, both the gavelin goby and the fine spot goby, despite being the related species and co-inhabiting the similar part of the tidal flat, had quite distinct food habits and low dietary overlap (Schoener's index: 0.4). These indicated that the two gobies are or were partitioning resources in space and time for maximum uitilization of available food.

황해 대청도 옥죽포의 모래갯벌에 서식하는 대형저서동물의 대상분포 양상을 파악하기 위해 1998년 6월 24일에 1개의 조사지선을 설정하여 10개의 정점에서 조사를 실시하였다. 퇴적물의 평균 입도 범위는 1.97${\sim}$2.23${\phi}$였으며, 유기물 함량은 0.52${\sim}$1.02% 사이의 값을 나타내었다. 조사 결과 총 25종의 저서동물이 채집되었으며, 채집된 저서동물의 총 개체수와 생체량은 각각 10,705개체, 89.13 gWWt였다. 본 연구 지역에서 가장 우점한 분류군은 미소갑각류에 속하는 단각류와 등각류였으며, 주요 우점종으로 Eohaustorius setulosus(33%), Excirolana chiltoni(26%), Haustorioides koreanus(12%), Platorchestia crassicornis(8%), Cycladicama cumingii(6%) 등이 출현하였다. 이들 주요 우점종들의 대상분포 양상은 Dahl(1952)과 Jo(1990)의 연구 결과와 매우 유사하였으며 다음과 같이 3층의 대상분포 양상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다: (1) 상부의 Platorchestia crassicornis, (2) 중부의 Excirolana chiltoni, (3) 하부의 haustoriid - dogielinotid - urothoid - oedicerotid로 구성되는 단각류 군집.

필리핀 일로일로 주변해역에 출현하는 몽치다래(Auxis rochei)의 위내용물 조성을 연구하기 위하여 2013년 12월에서 2014년 5월까지 매월 채집하였으며 채집된 몽치다래의 총 개체수는 200개체였다. 이들의 가랑이체장(FL)은 11.1~31.2 cm의 범위를 보였다. 위내용물을 분석한 결과 몽치다래는 어류(fishes)를 가장 선호하는 epipelagic feeder로 나타났다. 어류 다음으로 중요한 먹이생물은 새우류(shirmps), 요각류(copepods), 게유생 (crab larvae), 단각류 (amphipods), 두족류 (cephalopods)로 나타났으며, 갯가재류 (stomatopods), 이매패류 (bivalves), 패충류(ostracods) 등도 섭식하였지만 그 양은 많지 않았다. 몽치다래의 섭식패턴에 대한 도해적방법의 결과는 몽치다래가 좁은 섭식폭을 가지며, 어류를 주로 섭식하는 specialized feeder임을 보였다. 모든 크기군에서 어류를 주로 섭식하였으며, 크기가 증가함에 따라 어류의 섭식비율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

Despite the worldwide distributions of genus Lepidepecreum and the previous reports from China and Japan, this genus has not yet been recorded in Korean waters. In this study, Korean materials of lysianassid amphipods are assigned readily to the genus Lepidepecreum and identified as L. vitjazi Gurjanova, 1962 based on the following features: well-developed dorsal keels of the pleonite 3 and urosimite 1; unconcaved palmer margin of ganthopod 1; hooked locking spines of propodus on pereopods 3 and 4; and the shape of coxa 4. We also provide the description and illustrations of this species.

To investigate the food organisms of the Tridentiger trigonocephalus during the juveniles stage, the stomach contents of fish, captured in the intertidal zone of Chungchongnam-do Sochon-gun Su-myon Dodun-ri between on early June from end if may 1999, were observed. Total length of the juveniles of T. trigonocephalus was 5.5mm∼9.0mm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 68.5%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, amphipods, shrimp larvae, polychaete larvae, and these occupied more than dry weight 2%. Copepods among them dominated the most quantitys by average 67.5%, and next, food organismsms appeared much by order of polychaete larvae and shrimp larvae etc.. Therefore, most important food organisms of juvenile stage of T. trigonocephalus were copepods, polychaete larvae, shrimp larvae etc.

Two ampithoid species, Ampithoe lacertosa Bate and A. tarasovi Bulycheva, are redescribed. A. tarasovi has been misidentified as A. lacertosa in Korea. A. tarasovi can be distinguished from A. lacertosa in having the following characteristics: the apical and medial lobes of outer lobe are separated in the lower lip, the carpus of male gnathopod 1 is about 1.4 times as long as the propodus, the palm of male gnathopod 2 has a sloped quadrate hump and a posterodistal tooth, the peduncle of uropod 3 is approximately 2 times as long as the rami, and the length of the carpus is longer than that of the propodus of female gnathopod 1. This study provides detailed descriptions and figures for both species. A. tarasovi is reported for the first time as a member of the Korean fauna.

A hyalid amphipod, Protohyale pumila (Hiwatari and Kajihara, 1981), collected from Jeju Island is reported for the first time in the Korean fauna. The species is characterized by the presence of a short apical spine on the palp article 4 of maxilliped, a distinctly large and blunt cusp on the propodus of male gnathopod 1, and a distal truncate process on the palm of male gnathopod 2. Herein, the present species is described and illustrated. Korean hyalid amphipods now are composed of four species belonging to three genera. Voucher specimens were deposited in the Marine Arthropod Depository Bank of Korea, Seoul National University.

The feeding habits of chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were studied based on an examination of the stomach contents of 512 specimens collected between November 2005 and October 2006 in the South Sea of Korea. The specimens ranged in fork length (FL) from 23.4-37.5 cm. Chub mackerel is a piscivore and consumes mainly Teleosts such as Engraulis japonicus. Its diet also includes amphipods, crabs, Euphausia, chaetognaths and shrimp. Smaller individuals (<26 cm FL) consume mainly crabs. The proportion of these prey items decreases with increasing fish size, and this decrease paralleles the increased consumption of fish. The prey size increases with S. japonicus size.

We studied the feeding habits of Sebastes thompsoni based on 421 specimens obtained in monthly collections between January and December 2005 in the coastal waters off Busan, Korea. S. thompsoni was a crustacean feeder, and consumed mainly shrimp and euphausiids. Its diet also included small quantities of amphipods, cephalopods, and fish. It showed distinct ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. Smaller individuals (14-17 cm standard length (SL)), mainly consumed euphausiids. The portion of these prey items decreased with increasing fish size, and larger individuals (>20 cm SL) consumed mainly shrimp such as Leptochela sydniensis.

Reproductive patterns of an epifaunal amphipod, Pontogeneia rostrata, were studied on Dolsando sandy shore in Korea. The life history pattern was iteroparous, with recruitment mainly occurring from winter to spring. The sex ratio was malebiased, especially during breeding periods. The mean body length of females was significantly larger than that of males. Brood size and egg volume were positively related to the body length of ovigerous females. There was no significant difference in brood size between successive breeding periods, but egg volumes were significantly higher in early winter (December) than in late spring breeding (May and June), increasing the probability of survival to hatching. These traits contribute to more reproductive potential in early winter than in late spring breeding. The mean brood size of epifaunal P. rostrata was larger but the mean egg volume smaller than that of infaunal amphipods in this sampling area. We suggest that reproductive effort for epifaunal species may be proportionally greater than for infaunal species in risky environments.
