| Abstract: | Leptocephali of the genusSaurenchelys in the family Nettastomatidae were collected from the coastal area of Pohang, Korea and described as the first record from
Korean waters.S. stylura andS. lateromaculatus are characterized by two intestinal swellings, the pattern of pigments in the notochord, and by smaller pectoral fins than
those of other genus. They are very similar to each other but they are distinguished by the pattern of pigments in the notochord
and the intestinal swellings. |
