Abstract

The foraging behavior of the beauty goby, Pterogobius zacalles, was studied at Mutu Bay, Aomori province, Japan. P. zacalles harvested invertebrates prey from benthic substrates by using two distinct foraging modes: picking substrate among boulders and sucking surface of boulder. Among others, picking substrate among boulders was primarily used foraging mode. The foraging modes of P. zacalles were followed by three stages: searching for prey, feeding and chewing. For foraging, it takes less time to suck out the surface of boulder than pick up substrate among boulders, because the resting site of P. zacalles is close to the place where they do sucking. The diets of P. zacalles primarily consisted of benthic amphipods regardless of their foraging modes. Only the difference was that they can get bigger amphipods when they did picking rather than sucking. Even though it needs more time and energy to do picking, P. zacalles was compensated by getting a high-calorie diet eventually, therefore prey size can be the determinant of their foraging modes.

2000년 10월부터 11월까지 일본 Aomori현 Mutu만에서 다섯동갈망둑, Pterogobius zacalles의 섭식행동에 관하여 연구를 실시하였다. 다섯동갈망둑은 돌 틈에서 펄과 함께 먹이를 채식하는 쪼기와 돌 표면에서 먹이생물을 흡입하는 두 가지 유형의 채식방법이 있지만, 주로 돌 틈에서 먹이를 채식하는 방법을 이용한다. 다섯동갈망둑의 두 가지 채식방법 모두는 먹이를 찾아 유영하는 찾기, 섭식장소에서 먹이생물을 발견하고 먹는 섭식, 섭식한 후에 먹이를 씹고 이물질을 뱉어내는 씹기의 3단계로 구성된다. 다섯동갈망둑은 두 가지 채식방법 중에서 돌 틈에서 섭식하는 쪼기를 이용할 때 더 먼 거리를 유영하여 먹이를 찾으며, 긴 시간동안 먹이를 씹는다. 다섯동갈망둑은 채식방법에 상관없이 단각류가 주요 먹이생물이지만, 돌 표면에서 채식하였을 때보다 돌 틈에서 채식하였을 때 상대적으로 크기가 큰 단각류나 십각류를 섭식한다. 이들은 돌 틈에서 먹이를 섭식할 때 더 많은 에너지와 시간을 소비하지만, 높은 칼로리의 먹이를 섭식한다. 따라서 먹이생물의 크기는 이들의 섭식방법을 결정하는 요인으로 사료된다.
