This study conducted field surveys targeting benthic macroinvertebrates and fish in Andong Dam and Yeongsan River, with the specific aim of analyzing bluegill stomach contents. Bluegills in Andong Dam ranged from 40-220 mm, with 93.0% between 80-220 mm, while those in Yeongsan River ranged from 50-210 mm, with 71.4% between 120-210 mm. The highest feeding rates in both sites were for Chironomidae spp., with findings of 72.6% in Andong Dam and 80.4% in Yeongsan River. In Andong Dam, H. nipponensis and Baetidae sp. were also significant at 17.5% and 6.5%, respectively, while in Yeongsan River, Baetidae sp. (7.5%) and Hymenoptera sp. were the next most common at 3.8%. The EI index showed that bluegills generally avoided H. nipponensis and S. tsuchigae (-0.373 and -0.975) whereas they preferred Chironomidae spp. (0.759, 0.892) and Baetidae sp. (0.723). The parameter b values of the total length-weight relationship of bluegill were calculated as 3.452 in Andong Dam and 3.449 in the Yeongsan River, respectively. The slope values of the condition factor were 0.0067 in Andong Dam and 0.0065 in the Yeongsan River. Both values were positive, indicating that the nutritional status of bluegill was good. Aquatic insects constituted the primary food source, particularly in Yeongsan River. Feeding patterns did not significantly differ by habitat orientation groups, but Yeongsan River bluegills consumed more diverse food sources. In Andong Dam, larger bluegills likely consume food sources with larger biomass, while Yeongsan River’s diverse and abundant food sources support opportunistic feeding tailored to the water ecological environment.

한국중부 지역에 서식하는 수리부엉이(Bubo bubo)의 먹이를 확인하고 서식 환경에 따른 먹이습성을 파악하기 위하여 사냥흔적 및 먹이 잔존물 82개, 소화되지 않은 먹이 덩어리인 펠릿(pellet) 55개를 각각 분석하였다. 그 결과 조류, 포유류 및 곤충으로 구성된 총 150개체의 먹이가 확인되었으며, 그 중 조류의 이용 빈도(56.67%) 및 생물량(78.04%)이 가장 높았다. 집쥐류(Rattus spp.), 꿩(Phasianus colchicus), 등줄쥐(Apodemus agrarius)를 흔히 이용하였으나, 생물량 측면에서 꿩이 가장 중요한 먹이로 나타났다. 척추동물을 기준으로 한 수리부엉이 먹이의 평균 생물량은 503.3g으로서 비교적 다양한 크기의 먹이를 포식하였으나, 개활지 보다 산림지역에서 더 크고 다양한 먹이를 이용하였다. 산림지역에서는 꿩과 원앙(Aix galericulata) 등의 조류를 많이 포식하였으나, 특정 분류군을 선호하기 보다 적정 크기의 먹이를 선호하는 양상을 보였다. 반면 개활지에서는 소형의 특정 포유류(설치류)에 의존하면서 큰 생물량을 가진 꿩 등의 조류를 일부 이용하는 기회주의적인 먹이습성을 보였다.

The investigation was carried out to identify the main pathogen infected with sheath blight in corn plant during 1986-1987. The main fungi of sheath blight isolated from corn plant was identified as Rhizoctonia sobni. Sheath blight in corn plant was first
