Abstract

The zooplankton community and environmental factor were investigated on a weekly basis from March to November 2015 in Lake Paldang, Korea. The seasonal succession of zooplankton community structure was influenced by hydraulic and hydrological factors such as inflow, outflow and rainfall. However, the hydraulic retention time in 2015 (16.3 day) was affected by the periods of water shortage that had continued since 2014 and increased substantially compared to 2013 (7.3 day). Therefore, the inflow and outflow discharge were decreased, and the water quality (COD, BOD, TOC, TP, Chl-a) of Lake Paldang (St.1) was the same characteristics as the river type Bukhan river (St.3), compared with the lake type Namhan river (St.2) and Gyeongan stream (St.4). Zooplankton community dominated by rotifers (Keratella cochlearis, Synchaeta oblonga) in spring (March to May). However, Copepod (Nauplius) and Cladoceran (Bosmina longirostris) dominated in St.4. In summer (June to August), there was a few strong rainfall event and the highest number of individuals dominated by Keratella cochlearis (Rotifera) and Difflugia corona (Protozoa) were shown during the study period. In autumn (October to November), the water temperature was decreased with decrease in the total number of individuals showing Nauplius (Copepoda) as the dominant species. As a result of the statistical analysis about zooplankton variation in environmental factors, the continuous periods of water shortage increased the hydraulic retention time and showed different characteristic for each site. St.1, St.3 and St.2, St.4 are shown in the same group (p<0.05), showing the each characteristics of river type and lake type. Therefore, the water quality of catchment area and distribution of zooplankton community would be attributed to hydraulic and hydrological factors.

강우부족현상이 지속되었던 2015년 팔당호에서의 이화학적 요인과 동물플랑크톤 군집 특성은 선행연구에서의 몬순기후에 의한 강우와 수리 수문학적 요인의 영향을 받아 변화하던 동물플랑크톤 군집과 다른 양상을 나타냈다. 조사기간 동안 팔당호의 수리학적 체류시간은 2014년부터 지속된 강우부족현상에 영향을 받아 2013년대비 크게 증가하였다. 이에 따라 유입 방류량이 감소하여 팔당댐앞(St.1)의 이화학적 수질은 호소형 특성의 남한강수역(St.2) 수질보다 하천형 특성의 북한강수역(St.3) 수질과 비슷한 특성이 나타났다. 동물플랑크톤의 군집변화는 봄(3~5월)에는 주로 소형 윤충류(Syncheata, Keratella)가 우점하였으며, 여름(7~9월)에는 집중호우가 적어 연중 가장 높은 현존량을 기록했으며 우점종은 윤충류인 Keratella cochlearis와 원생동물인 Difflugia corona로 나타났다. 가을(9~11월)에는 수온이 감소함에 따라 윤충류와 원생동물의 현존량이 감소하고 요각류 유생(Nauplius)이 우점하는 천이를 보였다. 통계분석결과 복합적 수계의 특성을 보여주는 팔당호에서 북한강수역은 하천형, 남한강수역과 경안천수역은 호소형 특성으로 지점별 상이하게 구분되며, 이에 따라 동물플랑크톤 군집 또한 영향을 받을 수 있음을 나타냈다.
