Abstract

Three juvenile specimens (38.8~51.5 mm SL) of the opistognathid fish, Opistognathus hongkongiensis Chan were collected off the Jeju Island, southern Korea. O. hongkongiensis is characterized by having a large mouth, dark brown vertical bands on sides, and yellow dorsal fin without a black blotch. We described it as the first record to Korean fish fauna, and proposed the new Korean name, "Jul-hu-ak-chi" for this species.

농어목 후악치과에 속하는 Opistognathus hongkongiensis 유어 3개체(체장 38.8~51.5 mm)가 제주도 주변해역에서 채집되었다. O. hongkongiensis는 입이 크고 체측에 흑갈색 가로띠가 있으며, 등지느러미가 노랗고 검은 반점이 없는 것이 특징이다. 본 종은 국내에서 처음으로 보고되는 종으로서, 신한국명을 "줄후악치"로 제안한다.
