Abstract

The present study was carried out to clarify the structure and dynamics of copepod community and the relationship between this community and environmental factors during the period from February 1998 to July 1999. Copepods consists of 21 genera and 32 species, monthly variations of number of species were 15 species in May, 1998 and 2 species November, 1998. The number of species were 22 species in station 12 and station 1, 2, 3 occurred nauplii of copepoda only. Average abundance ranged from $8,330\;ind./m^3$ (in June, 1999) to $177\;ind./m^3$ (in November, 1998). Relationships between water temperature and number of species were as follows: 20 species occurred from 20.1 to $25.0^{\circ}C$ and nuplii of copepoda only occurred from 0.0 to $5.0^{\circ}C$. The number of species by salinity range were 19 species in $20.1{\sim}25.0%_o$ and 9 species in $0{\sim}0.5%_o$. The number of species by trophic state index (TSIm) of chlorophyll a were 25 species in oligotrophic state and 9 species in eutrophic state. Relationships between pH and number of species were as follows: 20 species occurred from 7.6 to 8.0 and from 9.1 to 9.5 was none. The number of species by DO range were 22 species in 6.5 to 7.5 mg/l and 1 species in 14.5 to 15.5 mg/l. The percentage calculated effect by stepwise multiple regression of the pearson correlation coefficient value of environmental factors and copepoda abundance (station 1-station 4) revealed that positive effect was 15.49% in COD, 25.86% in $Cl^-$, 19.75% in $NO_2-N$ and negative effect was 28.30% in $NO_3-N$. Also, Positive effect (station 5-station 12) revealed that 29.49% in water temperature, 28.27% in $NO_3-N$, 22.87% in $NO_2-N$ and negative effect was 30.18% in conductivity and 13.53% in DO.

섬진강 하류계 요각류 군집의 생태학적 연구를 위하여 1998년 2월부터 1999년 7월까지 매달 채집하였다. 본 연구 수역에서 요각류는 21속 32종로 조사되었으며, 1998년 5월에 가장 많은 15종, 1998년 11월에 가장 적은 2종이 출현하였다. 정점별로는 정점 12에서 22종으로 가장 많았으며, 정점 1, 2, 3에서는 유생만 출현하였다. 월별 평균 생물량은 177 ind./m$^{3}$(98년 11월)${\sim}$8.330 ind./m$^{3}$(99월 6월)에서 변동하였다. 수온에 따른 종 분포는 20.1${\sim}$25.0$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 가장 많은 20종이 출현하였으며, 0.0${\sim}$5.0$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서는 유생시기만 나타났다. 염분도에 따른 종 조성으로는 20.1${\sim}$25.0$\%{o}$ 범위에서 19종, 0.0${\sim}$5.0$\%{o}$ 범위에서 4종으로 각각 최고, 최저 출현분포를 보였다. 부영양화 단계(TSIm)에 따른 종 분포는 빈영양화 단계에서 25종이었으며, 부영양화 단계에서는 9종이 출현하였다. pH에 따른 종 분포로는 7.6${\sim}$8.0 범위에서 20종으로 가장 많은 출현을 보였지만 9.1${\sim}$9.5 범위에서는 출현종이 없었다. 그리고 용존산소량에 따른 분포로는 6.5${\sim}$7.5 mg/l 범위에서 22종, 14.6${\sim}$15.5 mg/l 범위에서 1종이 출현하여 각각 최고, 최저 출현 분포를 나타내었다. 각 환경요인이 요각류 생물량에 미치는 영향으로는 담수역(정점 1${\sim}$정점 4)에서 COD(15.49%), Cl$^{-}$ (25.86%) 그리고 NO$_{2}$-N (19.75%)가 양의 영향을, NO$_{3}$-N (28.30%)가 음의 영향을 미치고 있으며, 기수역(정점 5${\sim}$정점 12)에서는 수온(29.49%), NO$_{3}$-N (28.27%) 그리고 NO$_{2}$-N (22.87%)가 양의 영향을 미치고 있는 반면, 전도도 (30.18%)와 DO (13.53%)는 음의 영향을 미치고 있었다.
