Abstract

The zooplankton community of Lake Paldang, Korea, was investigated on a weekly basis from 2004 to 2006. The seasonal succession of zooplankton community structure was influenced by hydrological factors such as rainfall pattern and efflux in Lake Paldang. According to the monsoon climate, spring, fall and winter had reduced precipitation, so that zooplankton dynamics of the lake showed a typical succession pattern. In spring, small sized and faster growing rotifera rapidly increased, and copepods and cladocera noticeably increased thereafter. Rotifera dominated the zooplankton community, occupying more than 90% of total zooplankton abundance. Among rotifera, Keratella cochlearis was extremely dominant in spring. Copepoda were mainly present as Copepodid and Nauplius. Among cladoceran species, Bosmina longirostris was dominant. In summer, during the rainy season, zooplankton were flushed out by an associated dam. After the rainy season, rotifera increased rapidly when the water column of the lake was stable. During the fall, zooplankton abundance gradually reduced in accordance with decreasing water temperature. However, the occupation rate of copepod (Copepodid, Nauplius) increased relatively. Zooplankton dynamics were influenced by meteorological changes and hydraulic-hydrological factors, because Lake Paldang is a completely closed ecosystem.

팔당호에서의 동물플랑크톤 군집 구조와 천이는 몬순기후에 의한 강우사상의 변화와 수리 수문학적 요인의 영향을 크게 받았다. 봄과 가을, 겨울 동안에는 강우량이 적은 평수기 혹은 갈수기로 팔당호의 수리학적 체류시간이 길어짐에 따라 수체가 안정되어 동물플랑크톤 군집 변화는 온대호수에서의 계절적인 천이 과정을 그대로 반영하였다. 봄철에 크기가 작고 세대교번이 빠른 윤충류가 급속히 증가하여 연중 최대 개체수를 나타냈으며, 이후 몸체가 큰 요각류와 지각류로 천이되었다. 봄에는 윤충류가 우점하여 점유율이 90% 이상으로 나타났으며 제1우점종은 Keratella cochlearis였다. 요각류는 주로 유생(Copepodid, Nauplius)의 형태로 존재하였으며 지각류는 Bosmina longirostris가 주로 출현하였다. 여름에는 집중호우의 영향으로 수체가 교란되고 팔당댐의 수문조작에 따른 방류량 증가로 동물플랑크톤이 하류로 떠내려가 동물플랑크톤 개체수는 급감하였다. 집중호우 이후 수체가 안정화됨에 따라 동물플랑크톤 군집 회복은 성장이 빠른 윤충류를 위주로 이루어졌으며 가을 이후 수온 변화에 따라 동물플랑크톤 군집 밀도가 점차 감소하고 겨울에는 요각류 유생(Copepodid, Nauplius)의 우점 비율이 증가하였다. 불완전한 개방형 생태계를 이루고 있는 팔당호의 특성상 동물플랑크톤 군집 변화는 기상 변화와 수리 수문학적 요인에 크게 영향을 받고 있었으며, 특히 여름에는 국지성 집중호우의 빈도와 수량에 따라 동물플랑크톤의 군집 변화가 크게 좌우되었다.
