초록

본 연구는 2013년 4월 하순~5월 동안에 영산강의 승촌보 상류에서 군체형 녹조류 Eudorina elegans의 단일 종에 의해 유례없이 대발생한 녹조현상의 전개 과정을 모니터링하였다. 영산강은 전형적인 조절 하천으로서 외적 또는 내적 요인에 의한 부영양화가 극도로 심각한 실정이었다. 하수처리수의 과잉 영양염을 기반으로 유속, 일사량 및 수온의 구조적 또는 비구조적 복합 영향에 의한 조류(규조류(겨울), 녹조류(봄~여름) 및 남조류(여름))의 대발생은 뚜렷한 계절적 잠재력으로 상존하였다. 이 중에서 봄철 녹조현상은 E. elegans에 의한 것으로서 그 수준은 최대 $1,000mg\;m^{-3}$(>$50{\times}10^4cells\;mL^{-1}$)을 초과하였고, 발생 초기에 폭증하였다가 시간이 경과하면서 점진적으로 감소하는 양상이 현저하였다. 또한, 간헐적인 강우에 의해 하류로 이송되면서 분포 범위가 급속도로 확대되는 특성을 보였다. 보 구조물의 조작으로 펄스유량을 시험 적용하였으나 근본적인 문제를 해결하는 대응책은 아니었고, 하류 하천에 대한 영향을 고려해야 하는 문제점을 포함하고 있었다. E. elegans 녹조현상은 군체형 운동성 조류의 전형적 특성을 나타내었고, 최종적으로 후속되는 강우사상 (>45 mm)에 의해 소멸되었다.

This study was carried out to elucidate the development of unprecedented water-bloom caused by a single species of colonial green algae Eudorina elegans in the upstream area of the Seungchon weir located in the Yeongsan River from late April to May 2013. The Yeongsan River is typically regulated system and the waterbody is seriously enriched by both external and internal sources of nutrients. Seasonal algal outbreaks were highly probable due to various potential factors, such as the excessive nutrients contained in treated wastewater, slow current, high irradiation and temperature, in diatom (winter), green algae (spring) and bluegreen algae (summer). Spring green-tide was attributed to E. elegans with level up to $1,000mg\;m^{-3}$(>$50{\times}10^4cells\;mL^{-1}$). The bloom was exploded in the initial period of the algal development and after then gradually diminished with transporting to the downstream by the intermittent rainfall, resulting in rapid expansion of the distribution range. Although the pulsed-flows by the weir manipulation was applied to control algal bloom, they were not the countermeasures to solve the underlying problem, but rather there still was a remaining problem related to the impact of pulsed-flows on the downstream. The green-tide of E. elegans in this particular region of the Yeongsan River revealed the blooming characteristics of a colonial motile microalga, and fate of vanishing away by the succeeding episodic events of mesoscale rainfall. We believe that the results of the present study contribute to limno-ecological understanding of the green-tide caused by blue-green algae in the four major rivers, Korea.
