Abstract

In freshwater ecosystems, the types of fish parasites are diverse and routes of infection are complicated because they maintain the life cycle in a variety of host animals, The present study investigated the infestation characteristics of parasites occurring in abdominal cavity of Zacco platypus in Seom River from February to October 2007. At the same time, four streams (Gam Stream, Daepo Stream, Yangsan Stream, and Yulha Stream) were also surveyed for the reference of fish infection. Aquatic insects and shellfish predominated benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages by 90.4% and 7.7% of relative abundance, respectively. Aquatic insects were composed mostly of Ephemeroptera (46.8%) and Trichoptera (29.8%), and shellfish was Gastropods. Freshwater fish was most abundant Cyprinid and Z. platypus by 85.7% and 48.8%, respectively. Among waterfowl, Anas poecilorhyncha and Egretta garzetta were dominant in August. Fish parasites observed in the abdominal cavity of Z. platypus was classified as Ligula intestinalis, belonging to Phylum Platyhelminthes Cestoda Pseudophyllidae. L. intestinalis was observed from Z. platypus in October, as the number of one individual in the Seom River and fifteen individuals in the Yangsan Stream. Infection rate of plerocercoid ranged 1.4~15.8%. We discussed the relationship between the life cycle of the parasite and the host, and hope our results to be useful for understanding the ecology of the fish abdominal parasites in Korean river ecosystem.

담수생태계에서 어류기생충의 종류와 감염경로는 다양하고, 중형 또는 고등동물을 숙주로 하여 생활환을 이어가기 때문에 매우 복잡하다. 그중에서 어류의 복강에 기생하는 충류를 대상으로 수행되었다. 본 연구는 2007년 2월부터 10월까지 섬강에서 생긴 피라미의 기생충에 관한 민원을 해결하고자 생태계의 감염특성을 조사하였다. 섬강에서 복강기생충이 관찰된 시기에 감천, 대포천, 양산천 및 율하천도 동일하게 조사하였다. 저서성대형무척추동물은 수서곤충류와 패류가 각각 90.4%, 7.7%로써 주종을 이루었다. 수서곤충류는 하루살이류 (46.8%)와 날도래류 (29.8%)가 대부분을 차지하였고, 패류는 복족류였다. 어류는 잉어과와 피라미 (Zacco platypus)가 각각 85.7%, 48.8%로써 가장 풍부하였다. 물새 조류는 흰뺨검둥오리 (Anas poecilorhyncha)와 쇠백로 (Egretta garzetta)가 높은 밀도로 우점하였다. 어류기생충은 복강에 주로 기생하는 편형동물문 조충류 Ligula intestinalis로써 분류 동정되었다. 10월에 섬강과 양산천에서 우점 서식한 피라미로부터 각각 1개체, 15개체 관찰되었다. 복강기생충의 감염률은 1.4~15.8% 범위였다. 수서생태계의 조사결과로부터 기생충-숙주 관계의 감염 생활사를 고찰하였다. 본 연구결과는 국내의 육수학적 관점에서 복강기생충의 생태를 이해하는 데 유용한 기초자료로써 활용되기를 기대한다.
