Tracking larval fish across seasons reveals spawning hotspots around Korea

Seasonal surveys of ichthyoplankton across Korean waters reveal a striking contrast: 30 egg taxa and 61 larval taxa in February, versus 53 egg taxa and 154 larval taxa in July. This measurable increase in species richness underscores the importance of timing in marine surveys. Regional differentiation sharpened in summer, with *Engraulis japonicus* dominating both eggs and larvae. Understanding these spawning hotspots is foundational to ocean stewardship.
