Abstract

Seventy-six species of fishes, representing 60 genera and 34 families, were recorded from tidal pools on Jeju Island, southern Korea. The major families in terms of species were the Gobiidae (11 species), Pomacentridae (8 species), Blenniidae (6 species), and Labridae (5 species). Thirty-nine species were classified as tropical, 26 as temperate and 11 as subtropical.

Keywords

coastal habitats, fish diversity, inventory, northwestern Pacific

Introduction

Jeju Island is located southwest of the Korean Peninsula (Kim and Go 2003, Kim et al. 2009, Kwun et al. 2017) and has a volcanic rocky shoreline. The island lies in the southernmost temperate region of Korea, and many subtropical and temperate species of fishes inhabit the coastal and adjacent waters of the island (Kim 2009). Many marine fish species use tidal pools for part of their life cycle (Andrade et al. 2007, González-Murcia et al. 2012, Choi and Lee 2013), so studies of the occurrence of fish species in tidal pools provide important information on local fish biodiversity and for the conservation of coastal ecosystems (Machado et al. 2015, Torres-Hernández et al. 2016).

The first checklist of the fishes of Jeju Island (Uchida and Yabe 1939) included 162 species from coastal and adjacent waters. Subsequent inventories (Kim and Lee 1994, Yoo et al. 1995, Kim et al. 2009) recorded up to 655 species from the island environs, including freshwater fishes, and additional species have more recently been reported from the island’s coastal waters (Kwun et al. 2012, Kwun et al. 2013, Song et al. 2013, Kim et al. 2014, Myoung et al. 2014, Kim 2015, Lee and Kim 2015, Kwun et al. 2016b, Yeo and Kim 2016).

Until now, Kwun et al. (2017) provided the only report specifically addressing fishes from tidal pools of the island. Their preliminary sampling of tidal pools in four regions of the island yielded 50 species for which voucher specimens were retained. However, the sampling only encompassed four months (July–October) and therefore did not account for seasonal occurrences of tidal pool fishes.

Here the first comprehensive list of tidal pool fishes on Jeju Island is provided, based on a detailed survey over all four seasons.

Materials and methods

The study area involved four coastal regions of Jeju Island, including areas where Kwun et al. (2017) collected fishes: Oedo (north), Sindo (west), Yerae (south), and Seongsan (east) (Fig. 1). Fishes were caught using hand net and dredge, and all specimens were fixed whole in 99% ethanol. Our fish list was based on the data of Kwun et al. (2017), but many fishes caught during the survey, which occurred between February 2016 and January 2017 (all four seasons), were new records for the four regions. The specimens were classified to family level according to An (2011), and species were identified according to Kim et al. (2005), Allen and Erdmann (2012), Nakabo (2013), Allen et al. (2015), Ikeda and Nakabo (2015), and Kwun and Kim (2015). Fishes were categorized by climate zone on group (temperate, subtropical, and tropical) according to Froese and Pauly (2017). Photographs of the newly collected fishes are provided in Figures 2–12, and the voucher specimen list is provided as an Appendix. Voucher specimens were deposited at the National Marine Biodiversity Institute of Korea, Marine Fish Diversity (MFD; formerly Biodiversity Dynamics Team: BDT).

Results and discussion

Seventy-six fish species, representing 60 genera and 34 families, were recorded (Table 1). The sample from Seongsan included the largest number of species (54), followed by Yerae (44 species), Sindo (38 species), and Oedo (31 species) (Table 2). The most important families in terms of species were the Gobiidae (11 species), followed by Pomacentridae (8), Blenniidae (6) and Labridae (5). Among the 76 species, 20 occurred in all four regions. The tidal pools of Jeju Island have the highest fish species diversity in such habitats yet reported worldwide, exceeding the 72 species reported from Yakushima Island, Japan, and 62–63 species reported from Taiwan (Murase 2015). Although tidal pool fishes have been fewer reported compared to more than 600 species in the adjacent waters, we think tidal pools of Jeju Island are very important for fish habitat, zoogeography, and worth of conservation.

Number of fish species and major fish families in tidal pools in four regions of Jeju Island, Korea.

Region No. of species Major speciose family
Oedo (north) 31 Gobiidae (7 species) Pomacentridae (5 species) Blenniidae (4 species)
Seongsan (east) 54 Pomacentridae (7 species) Gobiidae (7 species) Cottidae (5 species)
Sindo (west) 38 Gobiidae (8 species) Pomacentridae (7 species) Blenniidae (5 species)
Yerae (south) 44 Gobiidae (10 species) Pomacentridae (7 species) Blenniidae (5 species)

In terms of distribution, most species were in the tropical group (39 species), followed by the temperate group (26) and subtropical group (11) (Table 1). Diverse and complicated water masses exist around Jeju Island (Kim et al. 2009); especially adjacent waters are known to be influenced directly by the high temperature and salinity Tsushima Warm Current, and so subtropical fishes are frequently found (Kim 2009). The present result showed the tropical and subtropical species to comprise 65.8% (50 species) of the total fish fauna, but most tropical and subtropical species have been recorded by Kim et al. (2009). Therefore, the present species diversity is not related to climate change, and continuous monitoring studies are needed to understand species dynamics.

Twenty-six species represent new records for the island, compared to the study by Kwun et al. (2017). Ten species were not listed for Korea before (cf. Kim et al. 2009). Eight species (Hypodytes rubripinnis, Furcina osimae, Pseudoblennius percoides, P. marmoratus, Vellitor centropomus, Eumicrotremus uenoi, Goniistius zonatus, and Clariger cosmurus) represent new reports of occurrence in winter and spring. Although sampling did not occur in all months, three species (Enneapterygius etheostomus, Entomacrodus stellifer stellifer, Eviota abax) were present in all seasons, suggesting that they are year-round residents of the tidal pools.

Species notes

Eumicrotremus uenoi Kai, Ikeguchi & Nakabo, 2017 (Fig. 5B) was recorded in Korea as Lethotremus awae (Kim 2015), but Lethotremus is a junior synonym of Eumicrotremus and this species is reported for the new record through recent taxonomic reviewes (Lee et al. 2017, Oku et al. 2017).

The species of Pempheris (Fig. 7A) differed from P. japonica in melanophore pattern (Okiyama 2014), but a molecular comparison showed it to correspond to P. japonica. It may represent a difference in larvae growth.

Girella leonina (Richardson, 1846) was recorded in Korea as G. melanichthys (An 2011, Kwun et al. 2017), but G. melanichthys is a junior synonym of G. leonina (Yagishita and Nakabo 2000, Nakabo 2013).

A partial albino specimen of Dictyosoma rubrimaculatum Yatsu, Yasuda & Taki, 1978 was collected, representing the first report of albinism in this species (Kwun et al. 2016a).
