초록

본 연구는 2015-2018년 5월 기간 동안 납자루아과 어류의 서식 집단 중 강원도 홍천 내촌천(HN), 덕치천(HD), 정선 골지천(JG) 및 조양강(JJ)을 대상으로 기 개발된 제한절편 길이 다형성(restriction fragment length polymorphism; RFLP) 분자마커를 이용하여 숙주조개 속 난 및 치어에 대한 정확한 종 동정을 수행 후 납자루아과 어류의 숙주조개 크기에 대한 산란양상을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상 지역 내 납자루아과 어류는 내촌천과 골지천에서 1종(묵납자루; Acheilognathus signifer), 덕치천에서 3종(각시붕어; Rhodeus uyekii, 묵납자루; A. signifer, 줄납자루; Acheilognathus yamatsutae), 조양강에서 2종(묵납자루, 줄납자루)으로 확인되었고, 네 지역에서 모두 동서하고 있는 숙주조개인 작은 말조개(Unio douglasiae sinuolatus) 982개체를 채집하였다. RFLP 분자마커를 이용하여 납자루아과 어류의 난 및 치어가 확인된 작은말조개(N=163; 16.6%)에서 총 646개체의 납자루아과 어류의 난 및 치어(묵납자루 454, 줄납자루 43, 각시붕어 149개체)를 확인하였다. 각 지역 숙주조개 크기에 따른 산란선호도를 조사하기 위해 난 및 치어가 확인된 숙주조개(mussels with [presence] eggs/fry)와 확인되지 않은 숙주조개(mussels without [absence] eggs/fry)의 각장(shell length), 각고(shell height) 및 각폭(shell width)의 평균 크기를 비교하였다. 그 결과 3종의 납자루아과 어류가 동서하는 덕치천의 경우 난 및 치어가 확인된 숙주조개가 확인되지 않은 숙주조개보다 각장(1.98mm), 각고(0.85mm), 각폭(0.73mm)의 크기가 통계적으로 유의하게 크게 나타났으며(Mann-Whitney U tests, P=0.002, P=0.012, P=0.009), 다른 세 개의 지역에서도 난 및 치어가 확인된 조개의 각장, 각고, 각폭의 크기가 큰 결과를 보였으나, 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다. 추가적으로 종 간 숙주조개 당 평균산란 난 및 치어의 수를 분석한 결과 각시붕어 $9.31{\pm}5.94$개, 묵납자루 $2.86{\pm}2.45$개, 줄납자루 $2.50{\pm}1.32$개로 각시붕어는 묵납자루와 줄납자루보다 숙주조개 당 평균 6.45~6.81개 더 많이 산란하였고, 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 나타내었다(Kruskal-Wallis test, P<0.001). 이 결과는 본 연구 대상 납자루아과 어류 3종에서 크기가 큰 작은말조개를 산란을 위한 숙주로서 선호함을 의미하고, 조개 크기에 대한 선호도 차이가 동서하는 납자루아과 종의 수가 많을수록 크게 나타났다. 또한, 묵납자루와 줄납자루의 경우 많은 숙주조개에 적은 양의 난을 추가적으로 고르게 산란하는 반면에 각시붕어는 비교적 적은 수의 숙주조개에 많은 양의 난을 산란하는 번식전략을 나타내었다. 2종 이상의 납자루아과 어류가 서식하는 덕치천(HD)과 조양강(JJ)에서 묵납자루와 줄납자루 2종이 동일한 조개에 산란하는 것이 관찰되었다(N=4). 이는 납자루아과 어류가 2종 이상 동서할 때, 동일한 자원인 작은말조개를 자신의 산란숙주로 이용하기 위한 종간경쟁(interspecific competition)이 일어나고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구된 생태학적 연구에 유전학적인 방법을 추가하여 각 집단 간, 종 간 숙주조개 크기에 대한 산란양상을 보다 정확히 규명하여 숙주조개를 이용하는 납자루아과 어류의 생태적 적응양상을 명확히 파악하고 더 나아가 숙주조개와 납자루아과 어류의 공생(mutualism) 혹은 숙주-기생의 상호관계(host-parasite relationship)를 규명하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study was conducted to investigate the spawning preference of the Acheilognathinae fishes in relation to the shell size of host mussels after identifying the species of eggs and fries in the host mussel using our recently developed RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) molecular marker at four sites [Hongcheon Naechoncheon (HN) and Deokchicheon (HD) from the North Han River basin and Jeongseon Goljicheon (JG) and Joyanggang (JJ) from the South Han River] in South Korea during May in each year between 2015 and 2018. The Acheilognathinae fish observed in the studied sites included one species (Acheilognathus signifer) in HN and JG, three species (Rhodeus uyekii, A. signifer, and Acheilognathus yamatsutae) in HD, and two species (A. signifer and Acheilognathus yamatsutae) in JJ, and we collected 982 host mussels (Unio douglasiae sinuolatus) that inhabited in all four sites. Using the RFLP molecular marker, we confirmed 46 eggs and fry of the Acheilognathinae fish (454 A. signifer, 43 Acheilognathus yamatsutae, and 149 Acheilognathus yamatsutae) in Unio douglasiae sinuolatus (N=163; 16.6%). We compare the average shell length, shell height, and shell width of mussels with [presence] eggs/fry and mussels without [absence] eggs/fry to examine the spawning preference according to the size of host mussels in each site. The results show that the shell length (1.98 mm), shell height (0.85 mm), and shell width (0.73 mm) of mussels with the eggs/fry were significantly larger (Mann-Whitney U test, P=0.002; difference=1.98 mm) than those of mussel without eggs/fry in HD where three species cohabitated. Although the shell length, shell height, and shell width of mussels with the eggs/fry were larger also in the other three sites, the difference was not statistically significant. In addition, we analyzed the mean number of spawned eggs and fry of each species and found $9.31{\pm}5.94$ R. uyekii, $2.86{\pm}2.45$ A.signifer, and $2.50{\pm}1.32$ A. yamatsutae. R. uyekii spawned 6.45-6.81 more eggs than A.signifer and A. yamatsutae on average per mussel, and it was statistically significant (Kruskal-Wallis test, P < 0.001). These findings indicate that the three species of Acheilognathinae fish tend to prefer larger mussels as their spawning hosts, and this tendency increases when the number of cohabitating bitterling fish species increases. Moreover, A.signifer and A. yamatsutae spawned a smaller number of eggs evenly in more host mussels while R. uyekii spawned many eggs on relatively fewer mussels. We found mussels (N=4) having the eggs/fry of two coexisting species, A. signifier and A. yamatsutae in HD and JJ where more than two bitterling fish species occurred. It suggests the interspecific competition taking place between the Acheilognathinae fishes for utilizing the same resource of mussels for spawning when two or more species cohabitate. This study is expected help to understand better the spawning patterns and reproductive ecology of the Acheilognathinae fishes, which will provide insightful information for advancing our understanding of their ecological relationships - mutualism or host-parasitism - with host mussels.
