Eight specimens (330.2~431.3 mm TL) of the family Zoarcidae were collected from the costal waters of the Byeonsanbando, Yellow Sea, Korea. They were identified as a Zoarces elongatus Kner based on the following characters: a dorsal fin with 14~16 notch-shaped spinous rays, irregular 13~16 dark spots in a row along the median body and 126~132 vertebrae. We proposed a new Korean name, 'Mu-jeom-deung-ga-si-chi', for the species.
