한국산 참서대과 Cynoglossidae 어류 6종의 상두개골계(epicranical bony system)

Epicranial Bony System of Six Species in Family Cynoglossidae (Pisces, Pleuronectiformes) from Korea

1992년부터 1994년까지 우리나라의 연안에서 채집된 참서대과 어류 6종의 상두개골계(epicranical bony system) 에 대해 비교 검토하였다. 상두개골 가운데 erisma 와 frontal element 의 발달정도에 따라 1. Paraplagusia japonica, 2.Cynogossus joyneri 와 C.robustus, 3.c. semilaveis와 C. abbreviatus, 4.C. interruptus 의 4 group 으로 구분되엇고, erisma를 지지하는 proximal radials 의 수에서도 P.japonica와 C. robustus 가 10-11개, C. joyneri 10-12 . C. semilaevis 9-11. C. abbreviatus 9-10 , C. interruptus 7-8개로 종간에 많은 차이를 나타냈다. 이러한 골격의 형태적 차이는 종간의 유연관계를 나타내는데 중요한 형질로 사료된다.

The epicranial bony system of the six species of the family Cynoglossidae were examined based on the specimens collected from the coast of Korea from 1992 to 1994. They were divided into four groups by the morphological features of epicranial bony system as follow: 1. Paraplagusia japonica, 2. Cynoglossus joyneri and C. robustus, 3. C. semilaeuis and C. abbreuiatus, and 4. C. interruptus. Among them, P japonica showed the most derived character in the erisma and frontal elements of the epicranial bony system. And it was remarked that the number of proximal radials supporting erisma show much differences among the species. It is discussed that the morphological differences in the epicranial bony system are significant character for interspecific relationships in family Cynoglossidae.
