  • Three species of gammaridean amphipods are reported from four cultured abalones in Jeju Island, Korea. These amphipods are Ampithoe uolida Smith, Elasmopus rapax Costa, and Melita rylovae Bulycheva which were found from the abalones Haliotis discus hannai Ino, H. discus Reeve, H. diversicolor aquatilis Reeve, and H. sieboldii Reeve. Elasmopus rapax, a new record to Korean fauna, is described in detail. Other two gammaridean species are briefly described with diagnostic characters. These amphipods and abalones revealed no species-specific relationship and are considered to be simple and accidential associates.

Feeding Ecology of Gavelin Goby (Acanthogobius hasta) and Fine Spot Goby (Chaeturichtys stigmatias) in the Jangbong Tidal Flat, Incheon, Korea (갯벌을 이용하는 풀망둑(Acanthogobius hasta)과 쉬쉬망둑(Chaeturichtys stigmatias)의 섭식생태)

  • 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.

  • Gammaropsis utinomii (Nagata, 1961), an incompletely known species of gammaridean amphipod, is redescribed in detail based on the specimens from the southern coast of Korea. The expanded basis of pereopod 7 of this species allows it to be distinguished from its congeners.

  • A newly recorded species of gammaridean amphipod, Synopia (Telsosynopia) trifidilla Hughes and Lowry, 2006 belonging to the family Synopiidae Dana, 1853 was collected from the southern Korean coasts. Synopia (Telsosynopia) trifidilla Hughes and Lowry is characterized by the entire telson with a trifid apical margin. The species is described and fully illustrated in the present study. This is the first record of the family Synopiidae from Korea.

  • A newly recorded species of gammaridean amphipod, Cryptodius kelleri (Br$\ddot{u}$ggen, 1907) belonging to the family Odiidae Coleman and Barnard, 1991 collected from the east coastal area of Korea. Cryptodius kelleri (Br$\ddot{u}$ggen) is characterized by the medially expanded maxillipedal palp article 2, smooth dorsal pereonites, propodochelate gnathopod 1, subchelate gnathopod 2, lacking the posterior process on the basis of pereopods 5-7, dorsal carination of pleonite 3, posterolateral upturned process of pleonite 3, and an entire telson. The species is described and fully illustrated in the present study. A key is also provided to the species of genus Cryptodius. This is the first record of the family Odiidae from Korea.

  • This study on the four families (Leucothoidae, Melitidae, Pleustidae, and Stenothoidae) of gammaridean and the one family (Caprellidae) of caprellidean amphipods of Ulreung Island was based on the materials collected at eight localities in Ulreung Island. Ten species of six genera were identified. Of these, he (Elasmopus korrunus, and Muero breuispina) are new to science. Four species (Leucothoe nogotoi, 1. spinicawa, Paropleustes denhouini, and Stenothoe volido) are new records for Korean craters. Five species were described and six Lvere illustrated.
