Abstract

The distribution status and habitat characteristics of the endangered species, Lethenteron reissneri were investigated in 2011~2012 in Korea. During the study period, L. reissneri were collected 60 stations among 755 sampling stations investigated. The total numbers of ammocoetes and adults were 208 and 435, respectively from eight stations of the Han River drainage system, four stations of Geum River drainage system, 32 stations of Seomjin and Yeongsan River drainage systems, and 16 stations of Nakdong River drainage system. The Han and Geum river drainage systems, the Sapkyo Stream and independent streams running toward the East Sea were estimated to have suffered sudden reductions of population density, whereas the Seomjin River drainage system showed increased population density compared with historic occurrence records. L. reissneri inhabited the middle-upper stream of clean water with well-developed rapids and lots of aquatic organisms. According to IUCN Red List categories and criteria L. reissneri was assessed to be vulnerable (VU) [B2ab (ii,iii,iv,v);D1] because of the rapid reduction of the occupying areas and the small number of mature individuals. Besides the distribution status and habitat characteristics we discussed the conservation strategies of L. reissneri.

우리나라 멸종위기어류 다묵장어의 분포 및 서식지 특징을 밝히기 위해 2011년부터 2012년까지 분포조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 모두 755개 지점을 조사한 결과 한강권역에서 8개 지점, 금강권역에서 4개 지점, 섬진강 및 영산강권역에서 32개 지점, 낙동강권역에서 16개 지점 등 모두 60개 지점에서 유생 208개체, 성어 435개체를 채집하였다. 과거의 출현지역과 비교하면 한강 및 금강, 동해안 독립하천, 삽교천 등에서 급격히 감소한 것으로 추정된 반면, 섬진강은 과거보다 많은 출현지점과 개체수가 확인되었다. 출현지역의 서식지 특징은 물이 맑고 소와 여울이 잘 발달한 중상류 지역으로 수생식물이 많이 서식하는 곳이었다. 다묵장어의 분포양상을 세계자연보전연맹(IUCN) 적색목록 기준지침서에 따라 평가한 결과 일부 지역에서 서식지역이 급격히 감소하고 있고 출현 지점수와 채집된 성어 수 등을 고려할 때 취약(VU) B2ab(ii,iii,iv,v);D1으로 평가되었으며, 그 밖에 다묵장어의 보전 방안에 대해 논의하였다.
