Estimation and Methods Estimating Daily Food Consumption of Agrammus agrammus

노래미, Agrammus agrammus의 일간섭식량 추정법과 추정

This study was covered the amount of food consumed per day as well as methods estimating the daily food consumption per fish of Agrammus agrammus in natural population to understand flow of food organisms among trophic levels in bio-community of the coastal waters, Shinsudo, Samchonpo. The estimating formulas were induced from the mathematical models that representing the diurnal fluctuation of the stomach fullness of the fish. The daily food consumption could be estimated by both feeding rates and gastric evacuation rates, but it was more reasonable method that based on gastric evacuation rates than feeding rates. The daily food consumption in wet weight per fish by gastric evacuation rates were 1.9856g/day, 3.4725g/day, 4.4418g/day, 5.8168g/day, and 7.2113g/day in the order of age groups from 0 to 4. The daily rations as percentage of body weight were $9.35\%,\;6.65\%,\;5.76\%,\;4.72\%\;and\;5.31\%$ in the order of ages. The daily food consumption was proportional to the body weight of fish, but the daily food consumption per specific body weight was reciprocal to the body weight. Annual food consumption in wet weight. per fish by gastric evacuation rates were 529.98g from the age of 0.25 to 1.0, 1,269.28g from the age of 1.0 to 2.0, 1,622.76g from the age of 2.0 to 3.0, 2,125.57g from the age of 3.0 to 4.0, 1,316.09g from the age of 4.0 to 4.5 The amount of food consumed per fish during 4.25 years, from the age of 0.25 to 4.5, was 6,863.68g in wet weight. the relationships between the daily food consumption(Dr) by gastric evacuation rates and the total length(L, cm) or the body weight(W, g) were as follows: $$Dr=0.036L^{1.702}$$ $$Dr=0.254W^{0.664}$$

본 연구는 치안생물군집에서 영양단계간 물질의 유동량을 파악하기 위하여 경상남도 삼천포시 신수도 연안에 서식하는 노래미의 일간섭식량을 추정하는 방법과 섭식량을 추정한 것이다. 추정식은 위만복도의 일주변화를 나타내는 수리모델로부터 유도하였다. 일간섭식량은 어류의 섭식률 또는 위배출률에 의해서 구할 수 있었으나 섭식률보다는 위배출률을 사용하여 추정하는 것이 더욱 이상적이었다. 위배출률에 의한 어체 1미당 일간섭식량을 연령군별로 보면, 0세군은 1.9856g/day였고, 1세군과 2세군은 각각 3.4725g/day와 4.4418g/day였으며, 3세군과 4세군은 각각 5.8168g/day와 7.2113g/day였다. 이 일간섭식량을 어체중량에 대한 백분율로서 나타내면, 0세군은 $9.35\%$, 1세군은 $6.65\%$, 2세군은 $5.76\%$, 3세군은 $4.72\%$, 4세군은 $5.31\%$였다. 따라서, 본 어종의 일간섭식량은 어체의 체중이 증가할수록 증가하였지만, 단위체중당 일간섭식량은 체중이 증가할 수록 감소하였다. 위배출률에 의한 연간섭식량을 보면, 생후 0.25세부터 1.0세까지는 529.98g, 생후 1.0세부터 2.0세까지는 1,269.28g, 생후 2.0세부터 3.0세까지는 1,622.76g, 생후 3.0세부터 4.0세까지는 2,125.57g 생후 4.0세부터 4.5세까지는 1,316.09g이었다. 한편, 노래미 1미가 생후 0.25세부터 4.5세까지 성장하는 동안에 섭식하는 먹이 생물의 량은 6,863.68g이었다. 위배출률에 의한 일간섭식량$(D_r)$과 어체의 평균전장(L) 또는 평균체중(W) 간의 관계식은 다음과 같다. $$Dr=0.036L^{1.702}$$, $$Dr=0.254W^{0.664}$$.
