Abstract

In South Korea, various nature-like fishways recently been installed for use by a wide variety of fish species. However, limited attempts have been made to monitor the fish utilization. The present study was conducted to ascertain the frequencies and patterns of utilization of the fishway installed at Beakjae Weir. We collected fish species that use the fishway by installing a fyke net at the exit of the fishway at least once a month from April 2013 to October 2013. Additionally, in order to identify all fish species that can potentially use the fishway, we investigated the fish fauna downstream to Beakjae Weir (mainstream of the Geum River). We found that 10 species belonging to 2 families used the fishway; this accounted for 64% of the total species inhabiting the mainstream. The species that used the fishway most frequently were Microphysogobio jeoni, followed by Squaliobarbus curriculus and Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis. The highest number of fish using the fishway was observed in August, which was positively correlated with the water temperature (Spearman rank correlation, $r_s$=0.743, P=0.035). The sizes of the fish using the fishway varied widely, with the total body length ranging from 39 mm to 550 mm. Analysis of the time-dependent utilization frequency revealed that most fish used the fishway during the night (20:00~08:00). Compared to other fishways installed along the Geum River, the fishway installed at Beakjae Weir was used by fewer species and fish. This may be attributed to the structural inadequacy of the fishway, thereby resulting in a low attraction efficiency. Therefore, measures should be adopted to enhance the fishway attraction and passage efficiency. The results of this study can be used to ensure efficient operation and management of the Beakjae Weir fishway as well as serve as basic data for developing and building nature-like fishways tailored to Korean situations.

최근 들어 다양한 어종이 이용할 수 있는 자연형 어도가 한국에 다수 건설되고 있지만 건설된 어도에 대한 어류 이용 현황에 대한 모니터링은 제한적으로 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 백제보에 건설된 자연형어도에 대해서 어류 이용 현황 및 특징을 파악하기 위해서 2013년 4월부터 10월까지 월 1회 이상 어도 출구부에 일각망을 설치하여 어도를 이용하는 어류를 채집하였다. 또한 어도를 이용할 수 있는 잠재적인 어류를 확인하기 위해서 백제보 하류 (금강 본류)의 어류상을 조사하였다. 조사결과 어도를 이용한 어류는 총 2과 10종으로 본류에서 채집된 어종의 64%가 어도를 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 어도 주요 이용어종은 됭경모치였으며, 눈불개와 끄리 역시 어도를 다수 이용하였다. 가장 많은 개체가 이용한 시기는 8월로 나타났으며, 이는 수온과의 양의 상관성을 보였다 (Spearman rank correlation, $r_s$=0.743, P=0.035). 어도 이용개체의 전장 범위는 39 mm~550 mm로 다양한 크기의 어류가 어도를 이용하였으며, 시간대별 어도 이용 특성을 분석 한 결과 해가 없는 야간, 일출 시간대 (20:00~08:00)에 어도를 주로 이용하는 것을 확인하였다. 백제보 자연형 어도는 금강에 설치된 다른 어도와 비교하여 이용어종의 다양성 및 개체수가 빈약하게 나타났다. 이는 어도의 구조적인 문제로 인한 유인효과가 부족하기 때문에 나타난 결과로 판단되며, 따라서 유인효과를 증가시킬 수 있는 방안 마련이 필요하다. 이러한 결과는 백제보 자연형 어도의 운영 및 관리에 도움이 될 뿐만 아니라 국내 실정에 적합한 자연형 어도를 개발 및 건설하는 데 있어서 기초자료로 사용 될 수 있을 것이다.
