Abstract

To estimate the population size of Miho spine roach (Cobitis choii), one of national monument species in Korea, multiple mark-recapture experiments (Jolly-Seber model) by VIE tagging were conducted in the upper region of the Backgok Stream located in the Kum-River system, Korea. Fish sampling was conducted at four different times from October 5 to October 26, 2011. A total of 335 sampling points were sampled, where the species was determined in 217. The population size was estimated to be 6,143 in this study. Compared to a previous report conducted by the Korean Ministry of Environment (2009), the population size of this species has decreased by 41%. The reasons for population decline are thought to be due to loss of microhabitat, sedimentation, water pollution. Consequently, a habitat restoration program is required to protect the microhabitat and recover the population size in this area.

금강수계 백곡천 상류에 서식하는 미호종개(국가 천연기념물)를 대상으로 형광물질 주입에 의한 다중표지-재포획법(졸리-시바모델적용)으로 개체군 크기를 추정하였다. 총 어류조사지점은 335개였고, 그 중 미호종개가 출현 지점은 217개 였다. 본 연구에서 추정한 미호종개 평균 개체군 크기는 6,143개체였다. 이는 2009년 환경부에서 수행한 미호종개 개체군 규모와 비교 했을때보다 41% 감소된 것이다. 백곡천에서 본 종의 감소는 미소서식지 훼손, 퇴적물, 서식환경의 악화 등의 영향으로 판단된다. 따라서 백곡천 본 종의 개체군 회복 미소서식지 보호를 위해 서식지복원 프로그램이 요구된다.
