Fish resource surveys were conducted near Jeju Island in June, August and October 2021 using an underwater camera monitoring system, fish pots, and SCUBA diving methods. The efficiency of the methods used to survey fish resources was compared using the number of individuals compared to area per unit time (inds/m3/h) and the number of species compared to area per unit time (spp./m3/h). As a result of comparing the number of individuals compared to the area per unit time (inds/m3/h), the order was underwater camera 214.69, SCUBA diving 124.62, and fish pots 0.57 inds/m3/h. The number of species compared to area per unit time (spp./m3/h) is in the following order: SCUBA diving 0.85, underwater camera 0.38, and fish pots 0.01 spp./m3/h. The fish resource monitoring method using underwater cameras was found to be more efficient in individual counts, and the SCUBA diving method was found to be more efficient in species counts. When considering cost and survey efficiency, the fish resource survey method using underwater cameras was judged to be more effective. The results of this study are expected to be widely used in estimating the population density of fish, which is the core of future fisheries resource surveys.

Long term variations of fish assemblage in the coastal waters of Bukchon-ri were determined using samples collected by trammel net from 2012 to 2022. Water temperature increased by 0.4℃ in 2022 that was less then 2012. During the survey period, a total of 95 species (53 families and 15 orders) of fishes were identified, Scorpaeniformes (five families and 22 species) and Perciformes (25 families and 39 species) accounted for 73% of the total number. The number of species was higher in summer than winter, showing a peak in summer at 66 species and lower in winter and autumn at 45 species. The number of individuals and the biomass peaked in summer at 1,238 individuals and 280.1 kg, and were the lowest in autumn at 597 individuals and 155.4 kg. The annual diversity index, evenness index and richness index were appeared 2.11-2.80, 0.64-0.80 and 4.70-7.34 at each years. The dominance index were appeared highest in 2014 while 2021 were appeared the lowest in 2017. The subtropical fishes were identified total of 38 species (40.0%) and the number of species was higher in 2022 at 22 (52.4%) species and lower in 2015-2017 at each 10 (31.3-37.0%) species.

Anthropogenic disturbances on freshwater ecosystem are known to degrade biodiversity, especially on fish assemblage. In this study, we have conducted fish surveys to identify impact of a bridge construction on fish assemblages. A total of eight study sites were surveyed in the Danjang and the Dong Stream in southern part of South Korea from June to November in 2021. The fish samplings were carried out five times, using cast-nets (10×10 mm mesh size), scoop-nets (4×4 mm, 5×5 mm mesh size), set-nets (10×10 mm mesh size), and fish traps (3×3 mm mesh size), along with the Stream/River Ecosystem Survey and Health Assessment by the Ministry of Environment of Korea and basic water quality measurement. Also, we applied the species diversity index and length-weight relationship regressions on certain species to identify interspecific growth rate differences in accordance with study sites. As a result, a total of 782 individuals, 23 species and 10 families were collected. The dominant species was Zacco Koreanus and relative abundance was 50.89%. When applying the length-weight relationship regressions on certain species, the ‘b’ value for Z. Koreanus was lower at the downstream points than at the upstream points of the construction site. In addition, when comparing to the results of the past survey, relative density of demersal fish at the upstream and downstream points decreased from 26% to 1.4%, and from 18% to 6.3%, respectively. In conclusion, it is considered that bridge construction negatively affects the habitat of fishes, especially on demersal fishes. Therefore, appropriate conservation efforts such as installation of silt protector and sand sedimentation pond are needed to alleviate the disturbance in habitat such as occurrence of turbidity and destruction of micro-habitats.

A seasonal characteristic of fish assemblages in the coastal waters of Gapa-do was determined using samples collected by a trammel net from 2015 to 2019.

The dominant species of the subtropical fishes were appeared to be rabbit fish, porcupine fish, smallscale blackfish, flag fish (Goniistius zonatus), stripey (Microcanthus strigatus), grunter (Parapristipoma trilineatum), and bluestriped angelfish (Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis) at the study sites.

본 연구는 영산강·섬진강 수계에 위치한 16개 호소에 대해서 어류군집을 조사하고 호소별, 호소 규모별 어류군집 특성을 분석하였다. 조사 방법과 지점수는 환경부의 “생물측정망 조사 및 평가 지침”에 따라 이루어졌으며, 소형호, 중형호, 대형호로 구분하여 어류군집을 비교 분석하였다. 2018년 (7개 호소)에서 2019년 (9개 호소)에 이루어진 조사에서 총 13과 44종의 어류가 채집되었으며, 우점종은 치리 (Hemiculter eigenmanni, RA, 32.9%), 아우점종은 블루길 (Lepomis macrochirus RA, 31.4%)로 나타났다. 호소 규모에 따라 분석한 결과 소형호에서는 평균 (±표준편 차) 11±2.9종이 채집되었으며, 중형호는 14.3±2.1종, 대 형호는 22.7±0.6종으로 호소의 규모가 커질수록 출현 종수가 증가하는 양의 상관성을 나타냈다. 호소 규모별 어류 군집 요인은 총 6개 항목 (총 종수, 총 개체수, 풍부도, 초식 성종 개체수 비율, 육식성종 개체수 비율, 외래종 종수)에서 차이를 보였다 (P<0.05). 호소별 어류군집 유사도 분석 결과 16개 호소가 60%의 유사도에서 5개 그룹으로 구분 되었으며, 군집 유사도는 호소의 규모보다는 호소 간 거리, 수계, 호소의 발달 위치 및 환경유형이 영향을 미치는 것 으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국내 호소의 어류군집 구조 이해에 도움이 될 수 있으며, 특히 영산강·섬진강 수계의 호소 관리 및 정책 마련에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 wadeable stream (1차~4차 하천)을 대상으로 보의 유·무에 따른 어류군집의 차이를 분석하였다. 하천의 규모에 따른 차이를 분석하기 위해서 하천차수로 구분 하여 보의 유·무가 어류군집에 영향을 미치는지를 파악하였으며, 3차와 4차 하천에서 어류군집의 차이가 확인되었다 (P<0.005, PERMANOVA). 보의 유·무에 따라 총 출현 종수, 총 출현 개체수, 종 풍부도와 같은 요인들이 차이를 나타냈으며, 외래종, 고유종, 보호종 개체수의 경우 차이를 나타 내지 않았다. SIMPER 분석을 통해서 어류군집 차이에 주로 기여하는 종을 분석한 결과 해당 차수의 하천에 우점적으로 나타나는 피라미 (Zacco platypus), 참갈겨니 (Zacco koreanus), 돌고기 (Pungtungia herzi)와 같은 보편종으로 확인되었다 (contribution>5%). 이들 종은 모두 보가 있는 지점에 서 평균 상대풍부도가 높게 나타났으며, 보로 인해 변화된 환경이 이들 종에 대해서 주요 서식처를 제공하는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 전국 범위에서 보가 어류군집에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 경향성을 제시하였으며, 이러한 결과는 향후 보의 관리를 위한 연구에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Twenty-nine wetlands (20 river type and 9 lake type wetlands) in Gyeongsangnam-do were investigated to understand the characteristics of fish assemblages by the wetland type and to suggest management strategies. As a result, 10.3±4.8 species were collected from river type wetlands on average (±SD) and 9.1±4.1 species from lake type wetlands. Thus, there was no significant difference in the number of species between them (Mann-Whitney U test, P>0.05). However, the species that constitute the fish assemblage showed statistically significant differences between the two wetland types (PERMANOVA, Pseudo-F=2.9555, P=0.007). Furthermore, the species that contribute the most to each type of fish assemblage were Zacco koreanus (river type, 28.51%) and Lepomis macrochirus (lake type, 23.21%), respectively (SIMPER). The results of the NMDS analysis using the fish assemblage by place classified the species into three groups (river type, lake type, and others). The current wetland management is only focused on endangered species, but this study shows a difference in fish assemblage by wetland type. Therefore, a management system based information on endemic species, exotic species and major contribution species should be provided. Furthermore, the classification of some types of wetlands based on the present topography was found to be ambiguous, and wetland classification using living creatures can be used as a complementary method. This study has limitations because only two types of wetlands were analyzed. Therefore, a detailed management method that can represent every type of wetland should be prepared through the research of all types of wetlands in the future.

Seasonal variation in species composition and abundance of fish assemblage in the north coast (NC: Ayajin) and central coast (CC: Hupo) of the East Sea were calculated using samples collected by trammel net during 2011-2012. A total of 20 species from NC and 17 species from CC were collected. Of the fishes collected, the dominant fish species were Glyptocephalus stelleri and Careproctus rastrinus in the NC, and Dasycottus setiger and G. stelleri in the CC. These 2 fishes accounted for 71.7% and 81.0% of the total number of individuals collected in the NC and CC, respectively. The number of fish species, number of individuals, biomass and species diversity indices fluctuated with the seasons. The cluster analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) based on Bray-Curtis similarity revealed that the fish assemblages classified into north and central groups. Analysis of similarity percentages of species contributions (SIMPER) indicated that most individual of G. stelleri and Gadus macrocephalus contributed to north group, and D. setiger and G. stelleri in central group, whereas 15 species contributed to 90% of the dissimilarity.

광양만 대도주변에 서식하는 어류군집의 변화를 파악하기 위해서 2009년 3월부터 2010년 2월까지 소형 빔트롤을 이용하였으며, 동일 해역에서 실시된 이전 연구결과(1990~1991, 1995~1996)와 비교, 고찰하였다. 조사기간 동안 총 74종, 8,133개체가 출현하였다. 우점종은 주둥치, 보구치, 점줄망둑, 청보리멸, 열동가리돔, 풀반지, 돛양태, 베도라치, 도다리, 쥐노래미, 문치가자미 순으로 나타났다. 이들 11어종은 전체 개체수의 89.5%, 총 생체량의 58.9%를 차지하였다. 우점종이었던 개체들은 주로 작은 크기의 어종과 대형 어류의 치어였다. 종조성 및 출현량은 계절에 따라서 크게 변하였다. 2009년 5월과 10월에 가장 많은 종수가 출현하였으며, 2009년 5월에 개체수와 생체량이 가장 높았다. 출현 개체수 및 생체량은 모두 2010년 1월과 2월에 가장 낮았다. 어류군집의 계절변동은 수온변화와 연관이 있었다. 이전 연구결과와 비교하였을 때, 단위면적당 전체 개체수와 생체량은 더 높았으며, 주둥치의 출현량은 급격히 증가한 반면에 꼼치의 출현량은 감소하는 양상이었다. 어류군집의 종조성 변화는 광양만내의 전반적인 해양환경 특성의 연간변화에 기인하였다.

Species composition and seasonal variation of fish assemblage in Sacheon marine ranching, Korea were examined. Sampling was seasonally made by a shrimp trawl from February 2009 to November 2009. A total of 55 species were collected. Of these, five species was dominant species comprising 51.1% of the total number of individuals. Nine species represented 57.3% of the total biomass. While total abundance (number of individuals) was high in spring, total biomass and species richness (number of species) and diversity were high in autumn. Cluster analysis, based on seasonally abundance data of the 21 most common species, showed that the species were separated into 4 different groups. Group A composed of Pholis nebulosa, Pleuronectes yokohamae, Hypodytes rubripinnis, Hexagrammos otakii, Tridentiger trigonocephalus and Paracercis sexfasciata, which were year round residents, group B Congr myriaster, Leiognathus nuchalis, and Platycephalus indicus, which were abundant in autumn, group C Sillago japonica, Pseudaesopia japonica, Zoarces gilli, Pholis fangi, and Pleuronichthys cornutus which were abundant in spring, and group D Sillago sihama, Cociella sp., Johnius grypotus, Cynoglossus joyneri, Cynoglossus robustus, and Pennahia argentata, which were abundant in summer. Principal component analysis revealed that seasonal variation in the fish assemblage was attributed to the abundance of temporal species such as conger and sand smelt fishes, which were abundant in summer, due to seasonal variation of water temperature.

본 연구는 동진강 수계 중 동진강 본류의 상∙중∙하류의 3개 지점을 선정하여 조사를 실시하여 이∙화학적 수질 및 서식지 분석을 통하여 생태 건강도 및 어류 분 포특성을 진단하였다. 생물통합지수 (Index of Biological Integrity, IBI)모델 분석은 국내 하천의 특성에 맞게 수정∙보완하여 8개 다변수 메트릭 모델을 이용하였고, 물리적 서식지 평가 지수 (Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index, QHEI)분석은 11개의 다변수 메트릭 모델을 적용하였다. 이∙화학적 수질 분석은 동진강 수계의 환경부 수질 측정망 자료 중 2005년부터 2008년까지 4년간의 자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 내성종이면서 잡식성 어종인 피라미가 우점종으로 나타났으며, 동진강의 생물통합 지수는 평균 19 (n=3)로서 “보통상태” (Fair)로 나타났다. 지점별로 지점 1에서 28 “양호상태” (Good)로 가장 높게 나타난 반면에 지점 2와 3은 각각 18과 12로 “보통상태”(Fair), “불량상태” (Poor)로 나타났다. 서식지 평가 지수는 평균 117 (n=3)으로 “보통~양호상태” (Fair~Good)로 나타났으며, 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 악화되는 경향을 보였다. 이∙화학적 수질자료의 분석 결과 지난 4년간 평균 BOD는 2.3 mg L-1 (범위: 0.1~8.9 mg L-1)로서 우리나라 수질기준 (2007년 1월의 환경부 기준고시)에 의거할 때 II (약간 좋음) 등급을 보였다. COD는 평균 5.5 mg L-1 (범위: 1.8~12.6 mg L-1)로 나타났고, 계절 및 지점별로 큰 변이폭을 보였다. TN의 평균값은 2.7 mg L-1 (범위: 0.9~7.5 mg L-1)이고, TP의 평균값은 0.127 mg L-1 (범위: 0.01~0.391 mg L-1)로 TN과 같이 하류로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. EC는 평균값 174.9 μs cm-1 (범위: 6.7~ 547 μs cm-1)이고, SS는 17.7 mg L-1 (범위: 0.5~62.7 mg L-1)로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 생물통합지수와 물리적 서식지 평가, 이∙화학적 수질 분석에 따르면, 동진강의 수환경 건강 상태는 악화되어 있는 것으로 나타나 서식지와 농업 배수의 관리가 필요한 것으로 사료되었다.
