Estimations on population ecological parameters of the small yellow croaker, Larimichthy polyactis in Korean waters, were calculated using catch data based on coastal and offshore drift gillnet fishery and biological data from 2010 to 2012. The population ecological parameters included survival rate, instantaneous coefficient of natural and fishing mortality and age/length at first capture. The survival rate (S) of the small yellow croaker was estimated to be 0.20 from catch curve method. The instantaneous coefficient of natural mortality (M) was estimated to be 0.46/year with Alverson and Carney method. The instantaneous coefficient of total mortality (Z) was 1.611/year, used to be transformed the survival rate and the instantaneous coefficient of fishing mortality (F) were 1.153/year. The length at first capture (Lc) was 19.1cm by Pauly method, and the age at first capture (tc) was 1.303 years of the small yellow croaker by the coastal and offshore drift gillnet fishery.

본 연구는 횡성호 및 횡성호 상 하류지역을 대상으로 2010년 4월부터 2010년 11월까지 총 4회에 걸쳐 피라미(Zacco platypus) 개체군의 생태적 특성을 조사하였다. 피라미 개체군의 지역별 동태를 비교한 결과 상류지역에서 1,707개체(78.70%)로 가장 큰 개체군을 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 피라미 개체군의 전장-체중 상관도 분석 결과 횡성호 일대에 분포하는 피라미 개체군의 회귀계수 b값은 3.28로 비교적 안정적인 서식을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 지역별로는 상류지역 3.28, 횡성호 3.10, 하류지역 3.09로 상류지역에서 가장 양호한 생육상태를 나타내고 있었다. 비만도 지수는 slope가 0.003으로 안정적인 개체군을 형성하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 상류지역 0.003, 횡성호와 하류지역이 0.001로 상류지역에서 가장 양호한 영양상태를 유지하고 있었다. 피라미 개체군을 대상으로 전장크기를 비교한 전장빈도 분포 결과 상류지역은 30~50mm, 70~90mm 사이의 개체가 상대적으로 많이 나타났으며, 횡성호에서는 60~80mm의 개체, 횡성호 하류지역은 70~100mm의 개체가 비교적 풍부하게 분포하는 것으로 조사되었다. 결과적으로 횡성호 일대 피라미 개체군은 상류지역에서 가장 안정된 생육상태를 나타냈으며, 서식조건이 충족될 경우 유수역 및 정수역 모두를 선호하는 것으로 확인되었다.

섬진강 중 상류 수계에서 붕어의 자원량 및 자원관리의 기초로 사용되는 붕어의 개체군 생태학적 특성치를 추정하고자 하였다. 채집된 붕어의 전장은 95-288mm의 범위를 보였으며, 연령은 비늘의 윤문을 통해 결정하였다. 연령형질로서 비늘은 윤문이 뚜렷하게 구분되었으며, 이를 통해 확인된 최고 연령어는 5세로 나타났다. 전체 표본에서 2세 연령어가 가장 많은 양을 차지하였으며(n=38), 다음으로는 3세 연령어가 풍부하였다(n=22). 연변수지수 분석을 통해 매년 단일 윤문이 형성됨이 확인되었다. 체장과 체중 간의 관계식은 BW = 0.0038BL3.73(R2=0.96) (p〈0.01)로 추정되었고, 인경과 체장 간의 관계식은 BL = 2.362R+2.76(R2=0.89)로 나타났다. 비선형 회귀분석을 통해 추정된 von Bertalanffy 성장 파라미터들은 이론적 최대체장 33.2cm이었으며, 이론적 최대체중 1,798.4g, 성장계수 0.20년-1, 체장이 0일 때의 연령 -0.51년 등으로 추정되었다. von Bertalanffy에 의한 붕어의 성장식은 Lt = 33.23(1-e-0.20(t+0.51))(R2=0.98)로 확인되었다. 연간 생존율은 0.427년-1로, 순간자연사망계수는 0.784년-1로 추정되었으며, 순간어획사망계수는 0.067년-1로 산출되었다. 생존율로부터 추정된 순간전사망계수는 0.851년-1로 추정되었다.

This paper is to study population ecological characteristics, including growth parameters, survival rate, instantaneous coefficients of natural and fishing mortalities, and age at first capture of the soft-shelled clam, Mya japonioa in the intertidal zone of South Sea in Korea. For describing growth of the clam a von Bertalanffy growth model was adopted, The von Bertalanffy growth curve had an additive error structure and the growth parameters estimated from a non-linear regression were SH<SUB>∞</SUB>=79.83mm, K=0.26, and t<SUB>0</SUB>= -0.01. Survival rate (S) of the soft-shelled clam was 0.26 (SD=0.02). The instantaneous coefficients of natural mortality (M) was estimated to be 0.78/year and fishing mortality (F) 0.57/year for the soft-shelled clam. The age at first capture (t<SUB>c</SUB>) was estimated as 2.69 year. The mean densities of the soft-shelled clam by bottom type were 3.40 inds./m²(SE=0.18) in the sand, 63.4 inds./m²(SE= 0.53) in the muddy sand, and 0 inds./m2 (SE=0) in the gravelly sand. The mean densities of the soft-shelled clam by 3 different areas were 4.88 inds./m²(SE=0.09), 2.61 inds./m²(SE=0.13), 7.20 inds./m²(SE=0.18), respectively and the biomass of the clam were estimated as 131mt, 121mt, 665mt, respectively. An yield-per-recruit analysis showed that the current yield-per-recruit of about 8.30g with F=0.57/year and the age at first capture (t<SUB>c</SUB>) 2.69 year, was lower than the maximum possible yield-per-recruit of 9.60g. Fixing to at the current level and increased fishing intensity (F) could produce an increase in the predicted yield-per-recruit from 8.30g to about 9.40. However, estimated yield-per-recruit increased to 1.30g by decreasing to from the current age (2.69 year) to age two with F fixed at the current level. Yield-per-recruit was estimated under harvest strategies based on F<SUB>max</SUB> and F<SUB>0.1</SUB>.

내장산국립공원에 자생하고 있는 굴거리나무 개체군의 분포와 식생구조를 분석하였다. 굴거리나무 개체군은 내장사지구의 금선계곡과 원적계곡, 백양사지구의 운문암 주변에서 분포하고 있으며, 그 면적은 각각 1.8km2, 0.6km2 이었다. 굴거리나무 개체군의 밀도는 금선계곡 전망대 주변이 가장 높았고, 금선계곡과 운문암 주변에서 비교적 높았다. 굴거리나무는 경사가 급한 전석지대에서 생육하고 있으며, 대팻집나무, 산딸나무, 작살나무와 생태적 적소가 유사한 것으로 생각된다. 식생구조분석 결과 내장산국립공원 산림의 아교목층과 관목층에서 굴거리나무의 우점도가 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

This research conducted a vegetation survey on Mt. Changbai which are habitats of Papaver radicatum var. pseudoradicatum to obtain a basic data for artificial cultivation. The habitas of P. radicatum var. pseudoradicatum consisted of two communities as Dryas octopetala var. asiatica community and Aconogonon ajanense community. The community units as D. octopetala var. asiatica community and A. ajanense community belong to alpine vegetation in Mt. Changbai. A. ajanense community is distributed around altitude of 2007-2061m, and D. octopetala var. asiatica community is distributed altitude of 2350-2570m at relatively high elevation. According to the correlation between the vegetation structure and elevation. This vegetation structure can be simplified at the herb layer. The vegetation is classified into D. octopetala var. asiatica community and A. ajanense community on the axis 1 basis in the BC ordination analysis. Further, there appeared higher plant life totalling to 40 taxa comprising 35 species, 4 varieties and 1 forma with 20 families and 34 genuses at the whole survey area. Among these, Cyperaceae and Ericaceae plants excellent in resistance to environment was surveyed the most, accounting for 16%.

This study was carried out to investigate the ecological characteristic of native Parasenecio firmus population in Korea and China. The survey quadrates were located in the middle of the native P. firmus habitats. According to the field survey, the habitats of P. firmus were classified into same Tilia amurensis community in tree layer. The investigation of native habitat in Korea shows that P. firmus inhabited deciduous forest from with T. amurensis, Acer pictum subsp. mono, Carpinus cordata and Acer pseudosieboldianum, which was similar to vegetation structure of Mt. Laoling in China. The result of the cluster analysis which uses SYN-TAX 2000 program, dissimilarity from 53% level was on a large scale divided at 2 units. The research revealed 96 taxa in total, in which 51 families, 81 genera, 21 varieties, 5 forma, 1 sub-species and 67 species were checked in the flora of the native P. firmus habitats.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of native Asparagus cochinchinensis and ecological characteristic in South Korea. Natural vegetative areas were investigated at 5 areas; Taean, Buan, Geoje, Namhae and Jindo. In this study, the 5m×5m quadrat was established for recording coverage and appearance species by phytosociological method. The flora of the studied area in native habitats were listed as 130 species. The native habitats was classified into Pinus thunbergii community and typical community. Two communities were located in a coastal cliff and have been destroyed. Therefore Asparagus cochinchinensis native habitats must be protected by regulation. In the studied sites, soil pH, organic matter, nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable K, exchangeable Ca, exchangeable Mg and cation exchange capacity were ranged from 5.1~5.7%, 1.77~3.59%, 0.19~0.54%, 5.4~18.7 (mg/kg), 0.24~0.48 (cmol+/kg) 0.76~2.83 (cmol+/kg), 3.11~6.22 (cmol+/kg) and 8.7~24.5(cmol+/kg), respectively.
