Abstract
The monthly collected fish samples by three sides tyke nets were analyzed in order to study species composition and seasonal variation of fish assemblage in the coastal water off Gadeok-do, Korea through a year of 1998, During the study period, a total of 136 fish species of 69 families were collected. Trachums japonicus, Konosims punctatus and Mugil cephaus were three dominant species in the fish assemblage and they accounted for and in the number of individuals and biomass, respectively. Fish species of secondary importance in abundance were Leiognathus nuchalis, Takifugu niphobles, Somber japonious, Trichiurus lepturus, Chelon affinis, Apogon lineatus, Nibea aibiflora and Acanthopagrus schlegeli. The highest number of species was collected in July and the lowest in february. Abundance was high in spring, and low in winter. Species diversity indices showed that the fish assemblage was less diverse in spring than any other seasons.
