Abstract

A single female specimen (73.6 mm SL) of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus cyanopterus Bleeker, belonging to the family Solenostomidae (new Korean name: Yu-ryeong-sil-go-gi-gwa), was observed and collected in the water off Yeongdeck, East Sea of Korea. Unlike to syngnathids, solenostomids are characterized by having the brood pouch formed by pelvic fins in female and dorsal fin spines present. This species is characterized by having the deep snout, and short, deep caudal peduncle, but no cirri and striped markings. In the water, the species swims slowly head downward in pairs and looks like a drifting pieces of algae or fallen leaf. We describe this species as new to Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name, "Yu-ryeong-sil-go-gi".

큰가시고기목, Solenostomidae (국명신칭: 유령실고기과)에 속하는 Solenostomus cyanopterus 암컷 1개체(표준체장 73.6 mm)가 경북 영덕연안의 수중에서 처음 채집되었다. 다른 실고기류와는 달리, 유령실고기류는 암컷의 배지느러미가 융합되어 변형된 육아낭을 가지고 등지느러미에 극조를 가지는 특징이 있다. 본종은 주둥이의 폭이 넓고 꼬리자루가 짧고 폭이 넓으며, 피질돌기와 줄무늬가 없는 것이 특징이다. 또한 수중에서 관찰한 바로는, 암수 짝을 지어 머리를 아래로 하여 마치 떠다니는 해조류나 낙엽같이 느리게 유영하였다. 본종의 신한국명을 "유령실고기"라고 명명하였다.
