Abstract

The habitat characteristic of the Gammarus sobaegensis which is one of the Amphipoda kinds has been found inhabiting in the inter mountain stream at Ganseong stream. From the investigation, the main inhabitant area of the G. sobaegensis maintained the water temperature under $10^{\circ}C$ during the spring and autumn season, and the electric conductivity was also maintaining under $40{\mu}Scm^{-1}$. For the precipitation, for this year when the monthly accredited rainfall did not exceed 800 mm, it did not affect maintaining the population of the G. sobaegensis but when the monthly accredited rainfall exceeded 1,000 mm it was found to be working as a unfavorable condition for maintaining the population. The effect especially from this kind of rainfall created the flow of G. sobaegensis as well as the flow of the fallen leaves which are the food resources and affected the population of the G. sobaegensis as a multiple interruption reason. Among the Functional Feeding Groups (FFGs) distribution depending on the use of the food resources the shredders showed up in the ratio of 20% in the site 1~3, and showed a big difference with the site 4~7 as it showed up in the ratio near 10%. Also, after comparing the variation of the individual number among the G. sobaegensis and shredders at the site 1~3 where G. sobaegensis mainly shows up, it showed the same variation pattern except for 2009.

간성천 산간계류에 서식하는 단각류의 일종인 보통옆새우(G. sobaegensis)의 서식특성을 확인하였다. 조사결과 보통옆새우 (G. sobaegensis)의 주 서식처는 수온이 봄 시기 및 가을 시기에 $10^{\circ}C$ 이하를 유지하였으며, 전기전도도의 경우 4$40{\mu}Scm^{-1}$ 이하를 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. 강우량의 경우 월 누적 최대 강우량이 800mm를 넘지 않는 평년수준의 경우 보통옆새우(G. sobaegensis)의 개체군 유지에 큰 영향을 주지 않으나 월 누적 최대 강우량이 1,000mm를 넘는 경우 보통옆새우(G. sobaegensis)의 개체군 유지에 불리한 교란요인으로 작용함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 이러한 강우에 의한 영향은 보통옆새우(G. sobaegensis)의 유하 뿐만 아니라 먹이자원인 낙엽의 유하를 일으켜 보통옆새우(G. sobaegensis) 개체군에 복합적 교란 요인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 먹이자원의 이용에 따른 섭식기능군 (FFGs) 분류 중 썰어먹는무리(shredders)는 지점 1~3에서 20% 내외의 비율로 출현하였고, 지점 4~7에서 10% 내외의 비율로 출현하여 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 그리고 보통옆새우 (G. sobaegensis)의 주 출현지점인 지점 1~3을 대상으로 보통옆새우(G. sobaegensis)와 썰어먹는무리(shredders)의 개체수 증감을 비교한 결과 2009년을 제외하고 같은 변화 양상을 확인할 수 있었다.
