Abstract

A single serranid specimen of Epinephelus radiatus was collected by a hook for the commercial longline fisheries occurred near Marado, Jeju Island, Korea. The present specimen was characterized by five irregular dark brown bands passing downward and forward from upper edge of body, scales in longitudinal row 107, and pored lateral line scales 55. This species is easily distinguishable from the morphologically similar Korean serranid species of E. poecilonotus based on band patterns on body. That is, the former has five irregular oblique dark-edged brown bands, and the latter has several long horizontal bands on lateral body. We propose a new Korean name, "Ma-ra-bari," for Epinephelus radiatus.

바리과(family Serranidae), 능성어아과(subfamily Epinephelinae)에 속하는 Epinephelus radiatus 1개체가 제주도 서귀포시 마라도 주변 해역에서 채집되었다. 본 종은 체측을 가로지르는 5개의 불규칙한 암갈색의 대각선 줄무늬와 측선비늘수 107개, 측선비늘공수 55개의 형태적 특징을 갖고 있다. 형태적으로 유사한 바리과 어류인 닻줄바리(E. poecilonotus)는 체측에 긴 수평 줄무늬를 가지는 반면, E. radiatus는 체측의 앞에서 뒤쪽으로 대각선 모양의 불규칙한 줄무늬를 가지고 있어서 쉽게 구분할 수 있다. 이 종의 새로운 국명은 우리나라 최남단 섬인 마라도 인근 해역에서 처음으로 채집되었기 때문에 "마라바리"로 명명하였다.
