Abstract

A balanced trophic model for Sinjido marine ecosystem was constructed using ECOPATH model and data obtained 1994 in the region. The model integrates available information on biomass and food spectrum, and analyses ecosystem properties, dynamics of the main species populations and the key trophic pathways of the system, and then compares these results with those of other marine environments. The model comprises 17 groups of benthic algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton, gastropoda, polychaeta, bivalvia, echinodermata, crustacean, cephalopoda, goby, flatfish, rays and skates, croaker, blenny, conger, flatheads, and detritus. The model shows trophic levels of 1.0~4.0 from primary producers and detritus to top predator as flathead group. The model estimates total biomass(B) of 0.1 $kgWW/m^2$, total net primary production(PP) of 1.6 $kgWW/m^2/yr$, total system throughput(TST) of 3.4 $kgWW/m^2/yr$ and TST's components of consumption 7%, exports 43%, respiratory flows 4% and flows into detritus 46%. The model also calculates PP/TR of 0.012, PP/B of 0.015, omnivory index(OI) of 0.12, Fin's cycling index(FCI) of 0.7%, Fin's mean path length(MPL) of2.11, ascendancy(A) of 4.1 $kgWW/m^2/yr$ bits, development capacity(C) of 8.2 $kgWW/m^2/yr$ bits and A/C of 51%. In particular this study focuses the analysis of mixed trophic impacts and describes the indirect impact of a groupb upon another through mediating one based on 4 types. A large proportion of total export in TST means higher exchange rate in the study region than in semi enclosed basins, which seems by strong tidal currents along the channels between islands, called Sinjido, Choyakdo and Saengildo. Among ecosystem theory and cycling indices, B, TST, PP/TR, FCI, MPL and OI are shown low, indicating the system is not fully mature according to Odum's theory. Additionally, high A/C reveals the maximum capacity of the region is small. To sum up, the study region has high exports of trophic flow and low capacity to develop, and reaches a development stage in the moment. This is a pilot research applied to the Sinjido in terms of trophic flow and food web system such that it may be helpful for comparison and management of the ecosystem in the future.

1994년 신지도 해양생태계에서 관측된 자료를 이용 Ecopath 영양흐름 모델을 구축하였다. 모델은 생체량과 먹이 조성 자료를 이용하여 우점종의 개체군 역학, 주요 영양흐름의 경로, 생태적 특성을 해석하여 다른 해양 생태계와 비교하였다. 계를 구성하는 그룹은 17개로서 해조류, 식물플랑크톤, 동물플랑크톤, 복족류, 다모류, 이매패류, 극피동물, 갑각류, 두족류, 망둑어, 양태, 홍어, 보구치, 베도라치, 장어, 가자미 및 유기쇄설물을 포함한다. 실험결과 영양단계는 일차생산자와 유기쇄설물로부터 최고 소비자인 가자미 그룹에 이르기까지 1.0~4.0의 범위를 보였다. 계의 총생체량(B)은 0.1 $kgWW/m^2$, 총순일차생산량(PP)과 총통과흐름(TST)은 각기 1.6, 3.4 $kgWW/m^2/yr$이며, TST는 총소비 7%, 총이출 43%, 총호흡(TR) 4%, 총유기쇄설물전환 46%의 합으로 구성된다. PP/TR은 0.012, PP/B는 0.015, 잡식지수는 0.12, 핀순환지수는 0.7%, 평균경로거리는 2.15, 지배용량(A)과 발전용량(C)은 각기 4.1과 8.2 $kgWW/m^2/yr$ bits이며, 상대지배용량(A/C)은 51%를 보였다. 특히 본 연구는 영양상호영향 해석에서 간접적인 경로를 통한 영향을 4가지 형태로 구분하여 기술하였다. 총통과흐름 기운데 총이출이 높은 것은 계가 반폐쇄된 만과 다르게 물질 교환이 크다는 의미이며, 연구해역이 신지도, 조약도, 생일도로 둘러싸인 수로를 통해 강한 조류가 미치는 지역임을 보아 쉽게 알 수 있다. 생태계 이론 및 순환지수 가운데 총생체량, 총통과흐름, PP/TR, 핀순환지수, 평균경로 거리, 잡식지수는 비교적 낮게 산출되었는데, 이는 오덤의 이론에 따라 계가 충분히 성숙하지 못한 근거로 해석되었고, 정보지수인 상대지배용량이 크게 산출된 것은 계가 최대로 발전할 수 있는 용량이 작다는 것으로 해석되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 연구해역은 영양물질의 외부 유출이 커 계가 발전할 수 있는 가능성은 한정되고 현재 발전하고 있는 단계인 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 신지도 해양생태계의 영양흐름 구조와 생태계 특성을 해석한 시험연구로서 향후 생태계의 변화를 비교하거나 관리에 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
