Diet composition and feeding strategy of yellow goosefish, Lophius litulon (Jordan, 1902), on the southeastern coast of Korea

Introduction The yellow goosefish, Lophius litulon (Jordan, 1902), is a demersal fish that occurs in the coastal waters of the East China Sea, Japan, and Korea and is a relatively economically important fishery resource in the coastal waters of Korea (Yamada et al., ; NFRDI, ). Approximately 25 species in four genera of goosefishes are distributed throughout the world, with three species in three genera occurring in Korean waters (Kim et al., ) where they are important commercial fishes caught primarily by coastal stow and gill net fisheries (KOSIS, ).

Lophius litulon is abundant throughout the southeastern coast of Korea, where it is the most abundant teleost in terms of biomass (Choo, ; Park, ). In view of its high biomass and as a top predator, L. litulon may exert significant impact on the benthic fauna of this ecosystem.

Abstract

Introduction The yellow goosefish, Lophius litulon (Jordan, 1902), is a demersal fish that occurs in the coastal waters of the East China Sea, Japan, and Korea and is a relatively economically important fishery resource in the coastal waters of Korea (Yamada et al., ; NFRDI, ). Approximately 25 species in four genera of goosefishes are distributed throughout the world, with three species in three genera occurring in Korean waters (Kim et al., ) where they are important commercial fishes caught primarily by coastal stow and gill net fisheries (KOSIS, ). Commercial landings of goosefishes have risen yearly since the 1990s (KOSIS, ) and now account for a significant portion (17 931 tonnes in 2008) of Korean fishery landings. Lophius litulon is abundant throughout the southeastern coast of Korea, where it is the most abundant teleost in terms of biomass (Choo, ; Park, ). In view of its high biomass and as a top predator, L. litulon may exert significant impact on the benthic fauna of this ecosystem.
