Abstract

A specimen of Redigobius bikolanus (29.0 mm SL) belonging to the family Gobiidae was collected by a hand net from the estuary of Changgo-cheon (river) in Andeok-myeon, Jeju Island, Korea. This specimen was characterized by having 26 lateral line scales, 7 predorsal scales, 7 transverse scales, anterior oculoscapular canal, preopercular canal, and four black spots between origin of anal fin and lower origin of caudal fin. The morphological characteristics of the specimen well matched those of Redigobius bikolanus previously reported. Thus, we newly add this species to the list of Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name, "Jeom-bak-i-mang-duk".
