We investigated Euphausia pacifica population in Korean waters in 2016 By samplings for genetic structur at five stations. Three sampling stations were located in the middle of the water masses which were clustered by temperature and salinity whereas the other stations were at the boundaries of the water masses. We amplified a 566 bp region and compared it with sequences of E. pacifica distributed in other waters. Sequences were classified two clades, and a clade was formed in the station E. Genetic distance of station E was close to E. pacifica present in Bering Sea, while it was distant to E. pacifica present in Yellow Sea near China. In genetic analysis, seven haplotypes were formed. Hap-1 and Hap-2 were shared in all five stations, while Hap-3 was shared in station W and WS. Four independent haplotypes were present in station E. Haplotype and nucleotide diversity were the highest in station E and the lowest in station S. The FST distances between station E and other stations were the highest, but distances among other stations were low. As a result, we concluded that E. pacifica, which is distributed in Korean waters, has a genetic population differentiation in the East Sea (station E).
