Phylogeny of the genus Takifugu fishes (tetraodontiformes: tetraodontidae) from Korea

The taxonomic revision of the Genus Takifugu(Family Tetraodontidae) was conducted based on the specimens which were collected 15 species from the coasts of Korea Peninsula from July, 1990 to August, 1994. The various morphological and osteological characters of the Genus Takifugu in Korea were surveyed and conducted cluster analysis to clarify the interrelationship. The species relationships of 15 species of the Genus Takifugu were studied based on osteological characters, but it was difficult to grasp the exact monophyletic group with small number of apomorphic character. Takifugu poecilonotus and T. alboplumbeus were considered as they are anscestral group because of its plesiomorphic characters of the vertebrae. dorsal and anal fin ray and pterygiophors. The advanced subgroup consisting of the Takifugu rubripes, T. chinensis, T. stictonotus, T. obscurus and T. flavidus is justified by the some synapomorphic frontal, longitudinal ridges of the frontal, number of fin rays and pterygiophores.
