Abstract

Benthic macroinvertebrates were investigated in thermal discharge that flows Buso stream region from December 2015 to February 2016, Korea. Study site was selected for the upstream, downstream relative to the mixing station and mixing station which thermal effluent flows, water quality analysis and benthic macroinvertebrates composition, taxa of EPT-group individuals, analysis of biological water quality. As a result, a total of 4,015 individuals including 50 species, 30 families, 11 orders, 4 classes, and 3 phyla were recognized. Taxa of species is Ephemeroptera 16 species (32.0%) including 6 families, the density composition was highest in 1,848 individuals (46.03%) Diptera. EPT-group occupied during the study period were a total of 1,876 individuals (46.72%) including 32 species and 17 family, lowest in the mixing station for study period. As a results of community analysis, mixing station in the Limnodrilus gotoi and Chironomidae sp.2, which is dominated by the analysis was Ecdyonurus levis, Cincticostella levanidovae, Nemoura KUa. The dominant species showed a difference in the upstream and downstream. In the functional feeding groups, in the upstream and mixing station Gathering-Collectors, downstream it was analyzed that the ratio of the highest Filtering-Collectors and decreased the ratio of Shredders increasing from upstream to downstream. Habitat orientation group is analyzed that accounted for most of the Clingers and Burrowers, from upstream to downstream toward the higher the ratio of Clingers. Biological water quality assessment results were analyzed the worst state in the mixing station with an average 2.73 (${\pm}0.41$). Correspondence analysis, correlation analysis results of water temperature and the cold-water species, as the water temperature increases were analyzed by reducing cold-water species and EPT-group.

본 연구는 2015년 12월부터 2016년 2월까지 고온배수 배출시설에서 온배수가 유입되는 경기도 포천시 영북면에 위치한 부소천 일대에서 조사를 실시하였다. 조사지점은 온배수가 유입되는 혼합역과 혼합역을 기준으로 상 하류 지점을 선정하여 수질 분석 및 저서성 대형무척추동물의 종조성, EPT-group 개체 비율, 군집 분석, 기능군 분석, 생물학적 하천 건강성을 평가하였다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 저서성 대형무척추동물은 총 3문 4강 11목 30과 50종 4,015개체이며, 출현종 비율은 하루살이목이 6과 16종 (32.00)%, 개체수 비율은 파리목이 1,848개체 (46.03%)로 가장 높게 나타났다. 하루살이-강도래-날도래목 (EPT-group)이 조사기간 동안 총 17과 32종 1,876개체 (46.72%)가 출현하였으며, 1차에서 3차 조사기간 동안 혼합역에서 가장 낮은 출현율을 나타냈다. 군집 분석 결과 혼합역에서 비교적 넓은 수온대를 가지는 실지렁이 (Limnodrilus gotoi)와 깔따구 sp2.(Chironomidae sp.2)가 우점하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 네점하루살이 (Ecdyonurus levis), 민하루살이 (Cincticostella levanidovae), 민강도래 KUa (Nemoura KUa) 등이 우점종으로 분석된 상 하류 지점과 차이를 나타냈다. 섭식기능군 분석 결과 상류와 혼합역에서 Gathering-Collectors, 하류에서는 Filtering-Collectors의 비율이 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었고, 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 Shredders의 비율이 감소하였다. 서식기능군은 Clingers와 Burrowers가 대부분을 차지하였으며, 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 Clingers의 비율이 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 하천 건강성 평가 결과 평균 2.73 (${\pm}0.41$)으로 혼합역에서 가장 불량한 상태를 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다. 수온과 냉수성종의 상관성 분석 결과 수온이 증가할수록 냉수성 선호종 및 EPT-group은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 혼합역에 유입되는 고온의 방류수는 하천생태계에 교란을 일으키는 요인으로써 저서성 대형무척추동물 군집과 냉수성 선호종 및 민감종의 분포에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 판단된다.
