Abstract

The article provides a description of Davidijordania lacertina (Pavlenko, 1910) with a body length of 18.0–32.0 mm TL, collected from Vostok Bay, Sea of Japan. The total number of vertebrae (119–121) and the pigment pattern on the bodies of the examined juvenile fish correspond to those of D. lacertina.
