Abstract

The objectives of the study were to evaluate the aquatic environment of an urban stream using various ecological parameters of biological biomarkers, physical habitat quality and chemical water quality and to develop a "Multimetric Eco-Model" ($M_m$-E Model) for the ecosystem evaluations. For the applications of the $M_m$-E model, three zones including the control zone ($C_Z$) of headwaters, transition zone ($T_Z$) of mid-stream and the impacted zone ($I_Z$) of downstream were designated and analyzed the seasonal variations of the model values. The biomarkers of DNA, based on the comet assay approach of single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), were analyzed using the blood samples of Zacco platypus as a target species, and the parameters were used tail moment, tail DNA(%) and tail length (${\mu}m$) in the bioassay. The damages of DNA were evident in the impacted zone, but not in the control zone. The condition factor ($C_F$) as key indicators of the population evaluation indicator was analyzed along with the weight-length relation and individual abnormality. The four metrics of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) were added for the evaluations of physical habitat. In addition, the parameters of chemical water quality were used as eutrophic indicators of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and conductivity. Overall, our results suggested that attributes of biomarkers and bioindicators in the impacted zone ($I_Z$) had sensitive response largely to the chemical stress (eutrophic indicators) and also partially to physical habitat quality, compared to the those in the control zone.

본 연구에서는 생물학적 바이오마커, 물리적 서식지 지표 및 화학적 수질지표를 종합하여 12-메트릭 생태평가 모형을 확립하였고, 도심하천에 적용하여 수생태계 평가를 실시하였다. 생태모형 적용을 위해 도심하천의 상류역의 대조군 지역($C_Z$), 중류의 전이대($T_Z$) 및 하류역의 오염지역(IZ)을 선정한 후, 모델값에 대한 계절별 변이특성을 분석하였다. DNA 손상도 분석은 혈액을 이용한 단세포 전기영동법(Single-cell gel electrophoresis, SCGE)인 Comet assay 지표에 의거한 생지표 메트릭으로 이용되었고, Tail moment, Tail DNA(%) 및 Tail length(${\mu}m$)값이 분석되었다. DNA의 손상은 하류역의 오염지역($I_Z$)에서 분명하게 나타났지만, 대조군($C_Z$) 지역에서는 그렇지 않았다. 개체군 지표로서 비만도 지수인 $C_F$ 값 분석, 체장빈도 분포 지표 및 개체 이상도(Abnormality) 지표가 생물지표로서 이용되었다. 물리적 서식지 지표는 QHEI 모델을 이용하였고, 4개 메트릭이 분석되었다. 화학적 수질지표는 부영양화 지표인 인(P)/질소(N), 화학적 산소요구량 및 전기전도도 지표가 이용되었다. 본 연구를 종합해보면, 12-메트릭 생태모형의 생지표 속성은 대조군($C_Z$)지역에 비해 오염지역($I_Z$)에서 화학적 스트레스 지표(부영양화 지표)에 아주 민감하게 반응 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 이들은 부분적으로 서식지 평가지표에 의해 영향 받는 것으로 분석되었다.
