Abstract

Since a large bank-protection works project was undertaken during winter in the middle reaches of the Chikuma, the riverbed structure was drastically altered. In order to assess the short-term impact of bank-protection works on the abundance Pattern of Stenopsyche marmorata (Trichoptera) from spring to early summer, we conducted an investigation on the capture of adults using light traps before and after construction work. The patterns of the daily capture of S. marmorata and the Namely, after construction, the daily catch of adult numbers increased only slightly during the investigation periods. This suggested that the age structure of the S. marmorata larval population had changed in the construction area. Our data suggest that bank-protection projects impact the abundance pattern of adult caddisflies in the river ecosystem.

동계에 Chikuma 강 중류 수역에서 대규모 하안 보호 공사가 시행된 이후로 강의 하상 구에 급격한 변화가 나타났다. 본 연구는 연속하는 춘계-하계 기간 동안 날도래목 곤충의 일종인 Stenopsyche marmorata의 밀도 유형에 대한 하안 보호 공사의 영향을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. Light trap을 이용하여 날도래 성충을 포획하여 분석한 결과에 의하면, S. marmorata에 대한 일일 포획의 양상과 포획 개체의 누적 밀도는 공사 전후에 상이하게 나타났다. 즉, 공사 후의 조사 기간 동안일일 포획 성충의 밀도는 약간 증가하였다. 이 결과는 공사 지역에서 S. marmorata 유충 개체군의 연령 구조가 바뀌었고, 하안 보호 공사가 Chikuma강 생태계에 서식하는 날도래 성충의 밀도 패턴에 영향을 미쳤음을 시사한다.
