  • A taxonomic survey was carried out to see the decapod fauna of Jindo Island and its adjacent islet, Korea in June 2004. The 35 species in 13 families were identified in this study and of which 12 species of caridean shrimps in three families, one thalassinidean species, two anomuran species in one family, and two crab species in two families were newly added to the decapod faun3 of the study area. With the previously known 58 species in the Jindo Island and its adjacent islets, a total of 75 species are listed with some brief remarks. Distribution patterns of species are also discussed based on the composition of geographical distribution forms.

  • Feeding habits of Sebastes inermis collected from the eelgrass bed in Kwangyang Bay from January 1994 to December 1994 were studied. S. inermis ($1\~9\;cm\;SL$) was a carnivore which mainly consumed amphipods (gammarid amphipods and caprellid amphipods) and copepods. Its diets included small quantities of caridean shrimps, crabs, gastropods, and fishes. It showed ontogenetic changes in feeding habits. In an initial stage, copepods were major food organisms. However, amphipods were heavily selected as the body size of S. inermis increases. Although consumption of copepods increased during spring, amphipods were major prey organisms for all seasons.
