Tachysurus brevicorpus (common name - Korean stumpy bullhead) is a species of bagrid catfish[3] endemic to Korea,[4][5] where it is found in the Nakdong River catchment.[4] It occurs in freshwater and can grow to a length of 9.2 cm (3.6 in).[6]

The species was first described in 1936 by Tamezo Mori,[6][7] and has a single dorsal spine, six dorsal soft rays, one anal spine, and 12-14 anal soft rays,[6] no scales on its body and relatively large eyes.[8] It is found in clear waters areas with large stones and pebbles on the bottom, where it mainly feeds on the larvae of aquatic insects.[8] It is nocturnal[4][8] and its spawning season is believed to be from June to July.[8]

It is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN threatened species list.[1] and as a natural monument of South Korea (designated March 17, 2005)[5]
