Larval distribution pattern of Muraenesox cinereus (Anguilliformes: Muraenesocidae) leptocephali in waters adjacent to Korea

Classification of Muraenesocidae (Actinopterygii: Anguilliformes) in the East China Sea using Morphological and DNA Barcoding Approaches

“…The pectoral-fin color was in somewhat conflict with other description of Congresox talabonoides (Bleeker, 1853) (Lin et al, 2013). Muraenesocidae species usually migrate annually, occurring off Jeju Island in winter, migrating to the coastal regions of the East China Sea or the Yellow Sea in spring, and returning to the Korea Strait off Japan or Korea again in the fall (NFRDI, 2013;Ji et al, 2015). As a consequence, the species records belonging to three countries should be the same.…”
