A gobiid fish , Istigobius hoshinonis (Tanaka) is described from one specimen collected at Hanrim-p, Cheju-do , on August 2, 1986. This is the first definitive record of the species in Korean waters. This species is distinguish from its congeners by the combination of the following characters ; uppermost pectoral fin ray unbranched, 12 or more predorsal scales, 7-9transverse scales and no scales on cheek and operculum. Pidan-mang-dug' is proposed as Korean name of this species.

A gobiid fish, Parioglossus dotui Tomiyama is described from 359 specimens collected at Cheju-do and Pusan, in August 1994 of 1986. This is the first definitive record of the species in the Korean waters. Parioglossus dotui having a small-sized body usually is found swimming in schools. The branchiostegals are 5 in number on each side. It grows up to 40mm in total length. Most of ventral fins are separated and connected with rudimentray membrane. In this species, the lateral line were indistincet or absent. The caudal fin slightly emarginates or truncates in both sexes, with a dark spot at the border of the base. It Inhabits inlet waters and estuaries of rivers. "Deungsul mang-dug" is proposed as Korean name of this species.

Two species of small gobiid fishes genus Luciogobius, i.e., L. elongatus, L. platycephalus were described as the first records from Korea based on specimens collected from gravel beaches of Gijang-gun, Busan-si, Korea. Luciogobius elongatus is distinguished from congeners by very elongated and naked body, 42-44 vertebrae, 6-7 dorsal soft rays, and no free rays on pectoral fin, and L. platycephalus is characterized by having very depressed head, naked body, 40-41 vertebrae, 10-11 dorsal soft rays, and pectoral fin with only upper 2-4 free rays. We propose the new Korean name "Ga-neun-mi-kkeun-mang-dug", "Nab-jak-mi-kkeun-mang-dug" for L. elongatus and L. platycephalus, respectively.

A new species of gobiid fish Acentrogobius pellidebilis is described from specimens collected in the southern and western coasts of Korea. The new species is distinguished from its apparant sister species, A. pflaumi, by 7~8 predorsal scales and the 5 darker blotches arranged in a lateral line on body.

Gobiid fish were collected monthly in Cheonsu Bay by a beach seine from the shallow water and by an otter trawl from the deep water from September, 1984 to August, 1986. Seasonal variation in species composition and biology of the major species were examined with the data of length and age composition. Fourteen speices of gobies were identified. Gobiid fish were more abundant in the shallow water than in the deep water. In the shallow water, they constituted 66% and 39% of the fish collected in the mud flat and the sand beach, respectively. The suction discs of the gobies explains that they inhabit successfully in the surf zone where the wave action is strong. Of the major species, Chaenogobius mororanus predominated in the shallow mud flat. A large number of adults of this species were obtained in Spring and their juveniles were collected from Summer through Autumn. Favonigobius gymnauchen was abundant in the shallow water, especially in the sand beach. This fish seemed to spawn from May through June, about two months later than Chaenogobius mororanus. Acanthogobius hasta juveniles lived in the shallow water and moved into the deep water as the fish grew. Chaturichthys stigmatias was collected mainly in the deep zone.

Monthly changes in the occurrence and infection levels of a parasitic copepod Acanthochondria yui(Poecilostomatoida, Chondracanthidae) on a gobiid fish Acanthogobius flavimanus were studied for a year from April 1990 to March 1991. This parasite was not found on the fish for four months from September to December. Prevalence of the parasite increased from $2.9\%$ in January to $88.9\%$ in June. Relative density and mean intensity also increased from January to June. Prevalence of A. yui increased with host size. A. flavimanus samples were never found carrying A. yui larvae of three copepodid stages(CI to CIII), although a few CIV and CV larvae were identified from April and May samples. This indicates that A. flavimanus was not the sole host of A. yui. Adult females and copepodites of A. yui were usually found in the gill arch($74.8\%$) and gill filament($80.6\%$), respectively. This suggests that copepodites select the gill filament as the most suitable place on their host A. flavimanus, and the adult females move toward the gill arch.

1985년 5월부터 8월사이에 충남 보령, 전북 부안 및 전남 목포의 연안에서 30 마리의 Mugilogobius abei 의 표본을 채집하였다. 본 종은 한국에서는 처음으로 보고되는 망둑어과 어류로 체장이 26.8-49.8mm로 소형이고 미병부의 측면에 2 개의 종대가 있고 종렬린수는 37-40개로 다른 종과도 잘 구별된다. 본 종의 한국명은 ' 모치망둑'으로 명명한다.

A hypogean gobiid, Luciogobius pallidus was described as the first record from Korea and also as the westernmost record of the species from the world, based on four specimens (31.2~53.6 mm SL) collected from Jeju Island, Korea. The species is characterized by having yellowish orange body color with I, 10~11 second dorsal fin rays, I, 10~12 anal fin rays, 13~15 pectoral fin rays, and 36 vertebrae as well as small embedded eyes beneath the skin. A new Korean name, "Juhong-mi-ggeun-mang-dug" was proposed for the species.

The four specimens of Clariger cosmurus, belonging to the family gobiidae were collected from the southern costal region of Korea, and described as the first record from Korea. The specimens are characterized by having two dorsal fins, a few barbels below the eye, and dark brownish line along lateral body from tip of snout to caudal peduncle. We propose a new Korean name of the genus Clariger, C. cosmurus as respectively Wae-mang-duk sok and Wae-mang-duk, for the species.

Seasonal samples of demersal fish in Chonsu Bay were collected by an otter trawl from May 1991 to February 1992, and analyzed in terms of species composition, abundance and community structure. These data were compared with those obtained just after reclamation in 1986. The species composition of the demersal fish of the present study shows a similar seasonal trend to the previous one. However, the abundance in some species was changed. Gobiid fish such as Cryptocentrus filifer, Chaeturichthys stigmatias and Acanthogobius hasta were diminished, while Repomucenus lunatus, Leiognathus nuchalis and Sillago japonica were increased. This change in abundance of the fish seems to be related to sedimentation of fine particles and irregular discharge of freshwater with high organic content from the reservoir to the bay.
