Abstract

Two specimens (407~438 mm in standard length) of a pleuronectid Atheresthes evermanni were collected by a gill-net from the coastal waters off Goseong-gun, middle East Sea of Korea. These specimens are characterized by a large mouth, narrow interorbital space, invisible eye at blind side, long and slender gill rakers, emarginated caudal fin, and almost straight lateral line. This is the first record of A. evermanni in Korean waters; we therefore add it to the Korean fish fauna and propose new Korean name, "Hwa-sal-chi-ga-ja-mi-sog" for the genus and "Hwa-sal-chi-ga-ja-mi" for the species, respectively.

가자미목 가자미과에 속하는 Atheresthes evermanni 2개체(표준체장 407~438 mm)가 동해 중부 고성군 연안에서 자망으로 채집되었다. 본 개체는 입이 크고 양안간격이 좁으며, 무안측에서 눈이 보이지 않고 새파는 가늘고 길며, 꼬리지느러미는 만입형이고 측선은 거의 직선인 특징을 가지고 있다. 우리나라 해역에서 A. evermanni는 처음 기록되고, 본 종을 우리나라 어류상에 포함시키며 새로운 속명과 국명으로 각각 '화살치가자미속' 및 '화살치가자미'를 제안한다.
