Abstract

Species composition and seasonal variations of fishes collected by winged stow net on anchors in the coastal water off Namhae Island was studied from May 1989 m April 1990. During the study period, a total of 56 fish species were collected. Engraulis japonicus, Conger myriaster, Trichiurus lepturus, Sardinella zunasi, Ammodytes personatus, and Thryssa kammalensis predominated. These six species accounted for 93.9% of the total number and 81.3% of the total biomass of fishes collected. Fishes collected by winged stow nets on anchors were primarily small fish species or early juveniles of large fish species. Both abundance and species composition of fishes changed with season. Seasonal peaks of number of species occurred in spring and fall, while those of number of individuals and biomass occurred in spring. The lowest number of individuals and biomass were observed in winter. Low species diversity indices were observed in summer. These low diversity indices in summer were mainly due to predominance of E. japonicus which accounted for approximately 90% of all fishes collected. More species and greater biomass were collected during nighttime.
