Abstract

To secure water resources, dams are normally constructed on the upper - middle part of streams, and it generates physical disturbances such as habitat alteration and stream fragmentation. Such construction can restrict movement of aquatic organisms, especially for freshwater fish which is one of top predator in aquatic ecosystem, and cause genetic fragmentation and community change. In this study, to investigate impact of habitat alteration after dam construction on freshwater fish, we monitored fish community changes, and compared fish fauna between dam reservoir and inflows. Additionally, movement characteristics and habitat boundaries of four species were identified by radio telemetry method. The study was conducted in the Gunwi Dam which was constructed in December 2010. Radio telemetry was applied to Pungtungia herzi, Zacco platypus (living lotic and lentic), Silurus asotus (lentic preferred species) and Zacco koreanus (lotic preferred species). The number of species was remarkably decreased (4 family, 10 species) comparing with before the dam construction (7 family, 15 species). Specifically, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Niwaella multifasciata, Liobagrus mediadiposalis, Coreoperca herzi and Odontobutis platycephala that inhabit in the lotic environment were not collected in the study area. A total of 8 species were caught in both the dam reservoir and tributaries except 2 species (C. auratus and S. asotus). Sorenson's similarity between the reservoir and its tributaries was high (0.842). All of the radio tagged species stayed in the reservoir except S. asotus which moved to the tributary. These species mainly utilized the shallow littoral zone as a habitat. These results could be useful as a baseline data for efficient management of fishes in lakes.

수자원 확보를 위해 주로 하천의 상 중류에 건설되는 댐과 같은 물리적 교란은 그 지역에 서식하는 생물의 이동을 제한하고 유전적 단절과 군집의 변화를 야기한다. 이러한 환경변화는 특히 생태계 최상위 소비자 중 하나인 담수어류에 크게 영향을 미친다. 따라서 댐 건설로 인하여 유수역에서 정수역으로 변화된 지역을 대상으로 담수어류의 군집변화를 파악하고 더불어 댐호와 유입지천의 어류군집 특성을 비교하고자 하였다. 또한 댐호 내에서 어류의 서식 영역과 이동특성에 대해 원격측정 (telemetry)법으로 연구하였다. 연구는 2010년 12월 완공된 군위댐을 대상으로 시행하였다. 무선 원격측정 (radio telemetry) 대상 어류는 호내 우점적으로 서식하는 정수역 선호종인 메기, 유수역과 정수역 모두에 널리 서식하는 피라미와 돌고기, 유수역 선호종인 참갈겨니를 선정하였다. 어류군집 조사 결과, 군위댐 건설 전 (7과 15종)보다 건설 후 (댐호, 4과 10종; 유입지천, 4과 9종) 종수가 감소되었다. 특히 댐 건설 전 서식하던 유수역 선호종인 쉬리, 수수미꾸리, 자가사리, 꺽지 등이 댐 건설 후 댐호 및 유입지천에서는 채집되지 않았다. 그리고 채집 방법에 차이가 있지만 유입지천에서 채집된 어류 8종이 군위댐호 내에서도 확인되었으며 댐호와 유입지천의 군집 유사도의 경우 0.842 (Sorensen's similarity)로 높은 유사성을 나타냈다. 무선 원격측정 결과, 메기 한 개체를 제외한 다른 종들은 유입지천으로의 이동이 확인되지 않았다. 모든 어류들이 주로 수심이 깊은 지역보다 상대적으로 수심이 얕은 수변 지역을 호 내 서식처로 이용하고 있었다. 이러한 연구를 통해 나타난 결과는 호 내 서식 어류를 보다 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.
