Abstract

Three juvenile specimens (40.7~58.4 mm SL) of orbicular batfish, Platax orbicularis were collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, and described as the first record from Korea. These specimens were characterized by having a diamond body shape with triangular dorsal and anal fins with V, 35~37 and III, 26~27 rays, respectively. The new Korean name of 'nam-bang-je-bi-hwal-chi' is proposed for the species.
