Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the filtering-feeding effect of a freshwater mussel (Corbicula leana) on the phytoplankton communities in two lakes with different trophic conditions between June and September, 2000. Manipulation experiments were conducted with two treatments (the control and mussel addition), and each established in duplicate 10 l chambers. Both ambient nutrient (TN, TP) and chlorophyll-a concentrations were significantly (p<0.01) higher in Lake Ilgam than Lake Soyang. Cyanophytes (Microcystis, Oscillatoria, Lyngbya and Dactylococcopis) consistently dominated algal community in Lake llgam, while flagellated algae (Dinobryon divergence, Mallomonas, Rhodomonas) and cyanophytes (Microcystis)dominated in Lake Soyang. The net exponential death rate ($R\;=\;day^{-1}$) of total phytoplankton in the mussel treatment ranged $1.70{\sim}7.39$ and $0.38{\sim}1.64$ in Lakes Soyang and Ilgam, respectively. Mean filtering rate standardized by mussel AFDW ($ml\;mgAFDW^{1}\;h^{-1}$) was much higher in Lake Soyang ($1.70{\sim}3.06$) than in Lake Ilgam($0.24{\sim}0.88$0.24~o.88). Estimating FR per mussel, 1 mussel filtered $1.6{\sim}7.8\;l$ per day and $1.7{\sim}3.0\;l$ per day in Lakes Soyang and Ilgam, respectively. Based on tile C-flux tobiomass ratio, Corbicula leana consumed $0.8{\sim}4.4$ fold of phytoplankton standing stock in Lake Soyang, and $0.4{\sim}1.6$ fold in Lake Ilgam per day. Mussel feeding resulted in increase of SRP concentration by $30{\sim}50%$, compared with the control. The results of this study suggest that filter-feeding activity of Corbicula leana varies depending on the phytoplankton density and community composition. The high seston consumption rate of Corsicuja Jeaua even in a eutrophic lake suggests that biomanipulation approach using filter-feeding mussels can be used far wate rquality management in small eutrophic reservoirs.

영양상태가 다른 두 호수에서 식물플랑크톤 군집에 대한 담수산 패류의 섭식 효과를 2000년 6월부터 9월까지 조사하였다. 실험은 10 l 플라스틱 용기에 패류를 투입하지 않는 것과 투입한 것으로 처리되었고 2반복으로 수행되었다. 수체 내 존재하는 총질소와 총인 그리고 엽록소 a 농도는 소양호에 비해 일감호에서 월등히 높았다(p<0.01). 일감호에서 우점한 식물플랑크톤 군집은 거의 대부분 남조류 였던 반면 소양호에서는 편모조류가 우점하였다. 패류가 투입된 용기 내 총 식물플랑크톤의 감소율은 소양호와 일감호에서 각각 $1.70{\sim}7.39\;d^{-1}$그리고 $0.38{\sim}1.64\;d^{-1}$의 범위였다. 시간에 따른 식물플랑크톤의 변화를 바탕으로 한 패류의 유기물함량에 따른 여과율(FR; $ml\;mgAFDW^{1}\;h^{-1}$)은 일감호(0.24${\sim}$0.88)에서 보다 소양호(1.70${\sim}$3.06)에서 높았다. 조개 개체 당 여과율($l\;mussel^{-1}\;day^{-1}$)은 소양호에서 1.6${\sim}$7.8 l,일감호에서 1.7${\sim}$3.0 l로 나타났다(p<0.05).생물량에 대한 C-flux로 고려할 때, Corbicula leana는 소양호의 경우 식물플랑크톤 현존량의 0.8${\sim}$4.4배를, 일감호에서는 0.4${\sim}$l.6배를 섭식하는 것으로 조사되었다. 패류의 섭식 활동으로 인해 인의 농도가조개가 없는 용기에 비해 30${\sim}$50%증가하였다. 본 연구에서 나타난 결과들은 참재첩 (Corbicula leana)의 여과 섭식 잘동이 식물플랑크톤의 밀도와 군집구조에 따라 차이가 있음을 제시한다. 또한, 매우 부영양화된 호수에서도 참재첩은 높은 여과율을 나타냄으로써 국내 소규모의 부영양화된 호수에서 수질관리에 담수패류를 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.
