  • The occurrence variations of decapods by season and depth off Oryuk Islets, Busan were investigated at seven stations in April and October 2009, July 2010 and January 2011. Decapods were collected by SCUBA diving at 5 m and 10 m depths. 46 species belonging to 18 families in 3 orders were identified. Pilumnus minutus, Pugettia intermedia, Pachycheles stevensii, and Paguristes japonicus were dominant species, comprising 73.0% of total decapods. P. minutus and P. intermedia were abundant in all seasons (except summer) while P. stevensii and P. japonicus were abundant in fall and summer. Dominant species were divided into three groups (resident species, seasonal species and temporary species) on the basis of their occurrence patterns. P. minutus and P. intermedia were resident species while P. stevensii, P. japonicus were temporary species. The species number, density and biomass of decapods were fluctuated by seasons. They were highest in fall and lowest in winter. This study implied that the variations of species number and density of decapods were significantly related with seasonal change of water temperature.

  • The objectives of this study to determine seasonal changes in species composition and abundance of fish and decapod assemblage, and the relationships between environmental factors and their abundance in an eelgrass bed of Jindong Bay. A total of 26 fish species and 29 decapod species were collected by a small beam trawl from an eelgrass bed in Jindong Bay in 2002. The dominant fish species were Hexagrammos otakii, Pholis neulosa and P. fangi and these accounted for 48.4 % in the total number of individuals. Dominant decapod taxa were Palaemon macrodactylus, Charybdis japonica, Pagurus minutus and C. bimaculata. These were primarily small species or early juveniles of larger species. Species composition and abundance varied greatly showing a peak in the number of individuals in April and May, and peak biomass in fish in July and decapods in August. Catch rate was low in winter months both in fish and in decapod. Seasonal changes in the abundance of fishes and decapods corresponded with eelgrass biomass and abundance of food organisms indirectly.

  • To investigate the food organisms of the Acanthogobius hasta during the juveniles stage, the stomach contents of fish, captured in the intertidal zone of Chungchong- nam-do Sochon-gun Su-myon Dodun-ri (Fig. 1) between on early June from end of May 2003, were observed. Total length of the juveniles of A. hasta was 5.5 mm ${\sim}$ 8.9 mm size, and the participation rate of feeding was 69.6%. Main food organisms were such as copepods, decapods, polychaete larvae, amphipods and these occupied more than dry weight 3.9%. Copepods among them dominated the most quantitys by average 62.7%, and next, food organisms appeared much by order of decapods, polychaete larvae and amphipods etc.. Therefore, most important food organisms of juvenile stage of A. hasta were copepods, decapods, polychaete larvae, amphipods etc.

  • Feeding habits of A. luridus were studied by analyzing the stomach contents of monthly collected fish from the intertidal zone of Dodun-ri, Sochon from July 1996 to June 1997. Fullness of stomach increased twice a day, first in the morning and second in the afternoon. A. luridus (1.2-5.9 em in standard length) was a carnivore consuming mainly decapods (natantia larvae, Acetes japonicus, Penaeus japonicus and reptantia larvae), amphipods (caprellids, gammarids and hyperiids) and copepods (Acartia sp., Calanus sinicus, Corycaeus affinis, and Microsetella sp.). Its diets also included minor quantities of isopods, cirriped larvae, polychaete larvae and stomatopods. According to fish size, some changes in feeding habits were apparent, i.e. smaller fish preferred to prey in the following order : copepods < decapods < amphipods. However, as the size increased, decapods and amphipods were selected.

  • A faunal study on the marine decapods of Gogunsan Islands located in the western part of South Korea was performed during the period from August 3 to August 5 in 2003. As a result of the present study, a total 42 species in 17 families (Macrura: four species in two families, Anomura: nine species in four families, Brachyura: 29 species in 11 families) were identified. Of these, two species of shrimp, Athanas sp. and Alpheus sp., are new to Korea. Including these two species, total 20 species in 10 families are newly known to Gogunsan Islands. Fifty two species in 19 families were previously known to occur in this area. Therefore, a total 72 species in 24 families of decapods are now known to occur in Gogunsan Islands. Of the species collected in the present study, Palaemon (Palaemon) serrifer (Stimpson, 1860) in shrimps, Macrophthalmus japonicus De Haan, 1835 living at mud area and Scopimera globosa De Haan, 1835 at sand beach in crabs, and Hapalogaster dentata (De Haan, 1849) in hermits crab were most dominant.

  • The nucleotide sequences of 185 rRNAs of the five Korean decapods were partially determined by the direct sequencing method using the reverse transcriptase. ne average GC content of five species was 51.1% which is higher than that of yeast(45.0%) and lower than those of frog (53.0%) and rat (55.6%). This result follows the general patterns of the GC content in the nucleotides of the nucleic acid shown among the various phylogenetic groups. The average ratio of transrional/transversional nucleotide substitution of pairwise comparison among six species (including Anemia salina) was 1.200 $\pm$ 0.310 when whole region alas examined. However, the ratio showed some differences when the conservative regions and variable regions frere separatelv examined. The molecular phylogenies of the five species were constructed by using two different tree making methods. In general the results support the previously reported molecular phylogeny of the decapod crustaceans. However, our results indicate thats in the analysis of the sequence dat3, the UPGMA clustering method of the distance matrix method should be carefully employed after considering the rate of nucneotide substitution in the different regions of the molecule.

  • A faunal study on the marine decapods of Saemangeum located in the western part of South Korea was performed during the period from August 21, 2003 to October 25, 2003. Forty four species in 17 families were identified through the present investigation, which were represented by 15 species of shrimps in seven families, three species of anomurans in two families, and 26 species of crabs in eight families. Three species of the identified species were new to Korea: Alpheus sp. and Athanas sp. in shrimps, and Asthenognathus sp. in crab. Of the species collected in the present study, Ogyrides orientalis (Stimpson, 1860) in shrimp, and Acmaeopleura balssi Shen, 1932 and Tritodynamia horvathi Nobili, 1905 in crabs are rare species in the western coast of South Korea.
