ABSTRACT

In July 2024, a single specimen of a young lophiid fish was collected from Dokdo, Korea. This specimen was identified as belonging to the genus Lophiodes based on the following morphological characteristics: Smooth frontal ridges, a gill opening extending in front of the pectoral fin base, and two articular spines. Based on comparisons with Lophiodes species from the Northwestern Pacific, the specimen was identified as Lophiodes triradiatus with three dorsal-fin spines, no post-cephalic spines, and a leaf-like esca. We analyzed 525 base pairs of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences. The results revealed that the sequences of our specimen corresponded to those of L. triradiatus (d=0.002). Hence, we propose a new Korean name, “Se-ga-si-yong-ah-gui” for the L. triradiatus speciumen identified from Dokdo, Korea.
