Abstract

Algal growth potential test (AGPT) has been used as a tool for assessing biological productivity potential in the aquatic ecosystems. This study was conducted to compare the productivity potentials of large reservoirs (Lakes Andong, Hapchon and Jinyang, and Naktong estuarine dam) and river sites (Sangju, Koryung, and Samlangjin) located in the Naktong River watershed. AGPT was conducted in both non-monsoon and mosoon season (February, April, July and September) of 2003, using Microcystis aeruginosa as a test alga. The AGPs in the reservoirs were relatively much lower than those of river sites. The river AGPs increased towards upstream close to the influent streams, while it generally decreased towards downstream. Immediately after the abrupt increase in influent discharge in summer, the AGP became similar between midstream and downstream sites. The water quality of river and reservoirs deteriorated during the drought period in accordance with AGP: it was the highest during this period. The AGPs showed the closest correlation with the P concentration, leading to the conclusion that bioavailable P is highly influential to the algal growth in both lentic and lotic ecosystems in the Naktong River watershed. Based on the AGPs, the water quality of tested sites was likely eutrophic. Our results suggest that AGPT be a useful tool in evaluating the productivity potential and trophic state of the water body as well as determining the nutrients that limit the growth of algae.

조류성장잠재력의 검정 (AGPT)은 수생대계에서의 생물학적 생산잠재력을 평가하는 유용한 도구로 이용되어왔다. 본 연구는 낙동강 유역에 위치하는 대형 인공호들과 낙동강 본류의 상하류에 해당하는 몇 개 지점에서 조류성장잠재력을 비교하였다. AGPT의 공시조류로 Microcystis aeruginosa을 이용하였고 2003년 2월부터 9월까지 갈수기와 풍수기를 포함하여 계절에 따라 4회 분석하였다. 낙동강 유역에 위치한 인공호들의 AGP는 하천과 비교하여 매우 낮게 나타났다. 하천구간에서는 대체적으로 도시하천과 근접한 상류에서 높고 하류로 갈수록 감소하는 양상을 보였으나 하계에 유입량이 급증한 직후에는 상하류 간 차이가 크게 감소하였다. 낙동강 유역의 인공호, 강 및 하구호의 수질은 갈수기에 더욱 악화되었고 이 시기에 AGP값도 높게 나타났다. AGP는 시공간적으로 변화 폭이 컸고 수중 영양염 수준과 매우 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 특히, AGP는 영양염 중 인과 상관성이 가장 높아 낙동강의 조류 생장에 인의 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구의 견과는 AGPT가 조류 생장에 대한 제한영양염 판정 뿐만 아니라 수중 fertility를 평가함에 있어 유용한 도구로 사용한 수 있음을 제시한다.
