  • The ichthyofauna and fish community structure were investigated at five stations in Yeongok stream, Gangneung, during April and December 2005 monthly. During the surveyed period twenty nine species belonging to ten families were collected. Dominant species in number was Zacco platypus (relative abundance : 29.0%) and subdominant was Rhynchocypris steindachneri (12.1%). There were six Korean endemic species including Rhynchocypris kumgangensis. Koreocobitis rotundicaudata and Luciogobius guttatus that were not reported in near streams were collected in Yeongok stream only. Ladislabia taczanowskii was considered as a geographically important species. There were stabilized fish community structure with species diversity index of the community 2.521 in Yeongok stream ichthyofauna.

  • The ichthyofauna and fish community structure were investigated at eleven stations in Namdae stream, Yangyang during April, 2004 and March 2005 monthly. During the surveyed period thirty five species belonging to fifteen families were collected. Dominant species in number was Triboblodon hakonensis (relative abundance : 27.9%) and subdominant was Zacco koreanus (15.0%). There were five Korean endemic species including Rhynchocypris kumgangensis. Eleven species including Pungtungia herzi are first recorded in this study. There are stabilized fish community structure with dominant species R. kumgangensis in upstream, Z. koreanus and Z. platypus in midstream and T. hakonensis in downstream respectively. But, it is very worried the change of ichthyofauna in foreseeable future because of pumped storage power station construction in midstream.

  • Characteristics of ichthyofauna and fish community in the Lagoon Gyeongpo, Korea, were investigated from May to October 2005. Total 26 species caught during the period were belonged to 18 families. Dominant species was T. hakonesis (50.7%) and subdominant species was A. flavimaus (25.4%). K. punctatus (11.1%), M. cephalus (6.5%), E. japonicus (1.5%), C. castaneus (1.0%) were also numerous. Total biomass of collected fish was 401.8 kg, and biomass of each species was T, hakonensis 147.0 kg, A. flavimanus 135.8 kg, K. punctatus 85.6 kg and M. cephalus 23.8 kg. Seasonal variation of fish community seems to be related to spawning periods of species. In conclusion, it appeared that the ratio of the primary freshwater species was gradually decreased, while the peripheral freshwater and seawater species were gradually increased when compared to the data obtained from the past with respect to the ichthyofauna of the Lagoon Gyeongpo.

  • The ichthyofauna of Lake Cheongpyeong was investigated from April 2003 to November 2004. During the surveyed period 31 species belonging to nine families were collected. Dominant species in numbers was Hemibarbus labeo (relative abundance: 29.9%), subdominant was Acanthorhodeus gracilis (22.8%). Erythroculter erythropterus (14.6%) and Cyprinus auratus (6.3%) were also numerous. There were nine Korean endemic species belonging to three families, including Acheilgnathus yamatsutae. We need close observation on population fluctuations of Micropterus salmoides, an exotic carnivorous fish from North America, and Hemibarbus labeo and Erythroculter erythropterus, the dominant species by biomass in Lake Cheongpyeong.

  • The ichthyofauna and community structure in Hongcheon river, Korea, was investigated from April to October 2002. During the surveyed period, 52 species belonging 11 families were collected. There were 23 Korean endemic species (44.23%), including Rhodeus uyekii, Acheilognathus signifer, A. yamatsutae, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Koreocobitis rotundicaudata and Silurus microdorsalis. Dominant species were Zacco platypus (20.38%), and subdominant species were Z. temmincki (19.62%). Also, Rhynchocypris oxycephalus (8.45%), Pungtungia herzi (8.01%), C. splendidus (6.63%) were numerous. Of the 6 introduced fishes in Hongcheon river Carassius cuvieri, Lepomis macrochirus and Micropterus salmoides were originated from foreign countries but Anguilla japonica, Gymnogobius urotaenia, Rhinogobius giurinus were introduced from other native river systems. According to the fish distribution, the fish community of Hongcheon river was divided into 4 groups by principle component analysis (PCA).

  • An ichthyofauna analysis of the East Sea using quantitative investigation procedures for latitudinal variations of the species richness and clustering of the species list is presented to illustrate the application of the adopted geographical scaling (less than 1:10,000,000) which provides a principal opportunity for common benthic and pelagic biogeographical zonation. The distribution of both pelagic and benthic marine fish biota at a scale of biosphere (or its major sections) was highly influenced by spatial nonuniformity of hydrological structure associated with the various water circulations and frontal zones. Following zoogeographical zonations were established for the East Sea: Osaka, East Korea, Primorye, North Primorye, Northern East Sea, Uetsu, Tsugaru, Soya and West Sakhalin.
