Fish fauna in the eastern Yellow Sea was determined using samples collected by an otter trawl from September 1999 to November 2001. The fish consisted of 97 species belonging to 80 genera and 50 families. The major taxa were the Perciformes (40 spp.), Pleuronectiformes (17 spp.), Scorpaeniformes (11 spp.) and Clupeiformes (10 spp.). Larimichthys polyactis, Engraulis japonicus, Liparis tanakai, Pampus echinogaster, Lophius lituron and Collichthys niveatus were predominated in abundance in the study area. The composition of the fish fauna has changed during the last three decades.

The fish fauna was investigated around Dokdo in the East Sea from Oct. 15 to Oct. 16, 1997 and May 12 to 15, 1999 Fishes found in this area were 63 species in 28 families : 58 species of 25 families in autumn (Oct., 1997), and 30 species of 15 families in spring (May, 1999). Apogon cookii and Tripterigion bapturum were unrecorded species in Korea. The 11 species of subtropical fishes including Pomacentridae (4 species) and Apogonidae (3 species) occupied about 20% of the fish fauna in autumn, whereas these subtropical fishes did not occur in spring.

The freshwater fish fauna were surveyed in the Namdae Stream, Kangreung Korea in August and October in 1992. The fish fauna includes 13species representing 5 family and 11 genera, The dominent species were Pungitius pungitius $(61.49\%)$ and Phoxinus lagowskii $(28.26\%)$ and the rare species wrere Hypomesus olidus, Pseudorasnora paws and Channa agus. Based on the previous studies there was a drastic changes not only in number of species but also in species composition.

Eighteen species of fish were identified by SCUBA diving observations around experimental artificial reefs at Tongyeong marine ranching area between November 1998 and November 1999. The highest species number of 14 was observed in September while the lowest number of 2 was observed in November. Fishes showed three typical behavioral patterns against the experimental artificial reef.

Benthic environments and composition of macrobenthic fauna around the marine fish culture cages were studied to clarify the effect of fish farming near Tongyong from August, 1995 to february, 1996. Sediment grain size and bottom dissolved oxygen under the fish cages were similar to that of a control site, but organic content was higher under the cages. Fewer species were found under the fish cages than under the control site, but conspicuously higher density was obtained under cages. Capitella capitals, Nebalia bipes were dominant infauna, and Asterina pertinifera and Astelias amurensis were dominant epifauna under the fish cage whereas Lumbrineris longifolia and Anphioplus sp. dominated in the control site. Diversity index showed seasonal variation under the fish cages, but showed little variation at the control site. The benthic fauna under the fish cages showed different community structures from the control site. As results, the fish culture cages affected the benthic environment and the community structure of benthic fauna by input of the organic content and biological effects such as dead shells.

The fish fauna was investigated in the coastal waters of Ulleungdo by SCUBA diving from 27 to 28 July 2004. We observed a total of 45 species from 22 families, including 6 species in Scorpaenidae and 5 species in Labridae. A total of 33 species were recorded at Station 1, and 15 species were recorded at Station 3. As a result of this study, we newly added 23 species to fish list in the coastal waters of Ulleungdo.

Arius maculatus (Thunberg) of the family Ariidae collected from Wando, Chollanam-do Province is a new family and genus to the fish fauna in Korea. Luciogobius saikaiensis D tu of the family Gobiidae collected from Haenam, Chollanam-do Province is also a new record. Their diagnostic characters, distribution, remarks and photos of each species are given.

Four times of field survey were carried out to collect fish samples at six stations in Shinpo district, North Korea in October 1997, July 1998, May and October 2002. Sampling stations were located in upstream, middle and down of the southern river of Bukchong and three brackish lakes of lake Hommanpo, Daein and Hyunkum, respectively. A total of 29 species belonging to 11 families occurred. Family Cyprinidae showed the prosperity in species number of 28% among total species occurred. No natural monument fishes or rare species were captured. Ten commercial fishes, five anadromous ones and five brackish ones were identified. Feeding habits divided fish fauna with 11 carnivores, two herbivores and seven omnivorous ones. In the river, 20 species belonging to seven families inhabited, 18 species of 6 families in lake Homanpo, 21 of seven III Hyunkum and 23 of eight in Daein, respectively. Ecological indices of richness, diversity and evenness were highest in lake Daein and dominance index was highest in lake Hyunkum.

This research was an evaluation of the fish fauna and the habitat for Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis (B. lenok tsinlingensis) for 11 stations at the Bonghwa-gun sanctuary. The predominant species in this research area was Zacco koreanus. B. lenok tsinlingensis, which has been designated as an endangered freshwater fish in Korea, was found in the Bonghwa sanctuary zone, except at stations 5 and 6. The B. lenok individuals were shorter in length than 400 mm. In total, 13 endemic species were found, including Coreoleuciscus splendidus and Iksookimia longicorpus. Specimens of Koreocobitis naktongensis, a first grade endangered species, were also collected. The benthic macroinvertebrates consisted of four divisions, four classes, seven orders, 30 families, 60 species, and 10,344 individuals and were distributed among the orders Ephemeroptera (55.9%), Diptera (18.2%), Trichoptera (12.4%), Plecoptera (2.1%), and Odonata (0.3%).

The fish fauna of Munsom in Jeju-do, Korea, was investigated for a total of five times underwater from April 2009 to October 2010. Fish specimens were collected with a small net by SCUBA diving and fish specimens difficult to collect were photographed underwater using a underwater camera and a camcorder. The fish specimens collected from the sea around Munsom were identified as 91 species, belonging to 73 genera, 39 families, and 11 orders. Among them, the largest group was Order Perciformes, comprising 54 species and 21 families, consisting 59.3% in total number of species and the following 19 species of Order Scorpaeniformes was 20.8%. In this study Amblyeleotris sp. of family Gobiidae was discovered as new species by underwater photography in Korea. It was more the demersal fishes (55%) than the pelagic fishes (45%) and in social behavior pattern it was much more species swimming alone than schooling.
