한국 남해에서 채집된 홍메치목 (Aulopiformes), Scopelarchidae, Scopelarchoides danae의 첫기록 = A New Record of Scopelarchoides danae (Scopelarchidae, Aulopiformes) Collected from the Southern Sea of Korea

국문 초록 (Abstract)

2023년 5월 12일 경남 통영 욕지도 남부 해역에서 봉고네트로 홍메치목 (Aulopiformes)에 속하는 치어 1개체 (체장 37.6 mm)가 채집되었다. 우리 표본은 얇은 몸, 큰 입, 튜브처럼 생긴 큰 눈, 긴 뒷지느러미 기저부, 발달된 기름지느러미를 가지는 점에서 Scopelarchidae과로 확인되었다. 이후 우리 표본은 8개의 등지느러미, 20개의 가슴지느러미, 9개의 배지느러미, 26개의 뒷지느러미 줄기를 가지며, 배지느러미보다 앞쪽에 위치한 등지느러미, 가슴지느러미 아래쪽과 배지느러미 뒤쪽으로 2개의 흑색소포를 가지는 점에서 Scopelarchoides danae로 최종 분류되었다. S. danae는 적은 등지느러미 줄기 (8개, 9~10개) 및 가슴지느러미 줄기 (20개, 22~25개)를 가지는 점에서 동속의 Scopelarchoides signifer와 잘 구분된다. 치어 시기의 S. danae는 옆줄의 상하 양쪽을 따라 암색 띠가 없다는 점에서 Scopelarchus guentheri 및 Scopelarchus analis와 구분되고, Scopelarchus michaelsarsi와는 더 많은 뒷지느러미 줄기 (26개, 18~21개)를 가지는 점에서 잘 구분된다. 본 종이 속한 Scopelarchidae과 어류는 국내 처음 보고되는 분류군으로 눈이 튜브 모양인 점에 의거 ‘눈방울매퉁이과’로 국명 신칭하고, Scopelachoides danae는 ‘눈방울매퉁이’로 국명 신칭한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

On May 12, 2023, a juvenile specimen (37.6 mm in standard length) belonging to the order Aulopiformes was collected from southern Yokjido, Tongyeong, Korea, using a Bongo net. The specimen was identified as the member of the family Scopelarchidae in having a slender body, a large mouth, large tube-like eyes, a long anal fin base, a developed adipose fin and no photophores on body. Finally, we identify the specimen as Scopelarchoides danae Johnson, 1974 in having 8 dorsal fin rays, 20 pectoral fin rays, 9 pelvic fin rays, 26 anal fin rays, dorsal fin located anteriorly than pelvic fin, and two large pigments below the pectoral fin and posterior to the pelvic fin. Scopelarchoides danae is distinguished from Scopelarchoides signifer in having less dorsal fin rays (8 vs. 9~10) and pectoral fin rays (20 vs. 22~25). The species differs from Scopelarchus guentheri and Scopelarchus analis in that it has no stripes along the both upper and lower of lateral line, and from Scopelarchus michaelsarsi in that it has more anal fin rays (26 vs. 18~21). Because this is the first occurrence among Korean fish fauna, we present its detailed morphological traits, and its new Korean name as “Nun-bang-ul-mae-tung-i”.
