Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the population characteristics of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Daegu Metropolitan City thermal effluent stream (Dalseo Stream) from January to November 2019. The collected fish were identified as 4,247 individuals of 20 species from a total of eight families. The dominant species was O. niloticus with 1,306 individuals and a high relative abundance (30.75%). The water temperature of Dalseo Stream was maintained above 10℃ throughout the year, which means that O. niloticus could inhabit it even in winter. The length-weight analysis showed a regression coefficient b of 3.1496, and a condition factor (k) of 0.0025 with a positive slope. Comparing the water temperature of Dalseo Stream and the total length of O. niloticus per investigation period, the 0-age individuals appeared May 29 when the water temperature was maintained above 22℃. In conclusion, the thermal effluent of Dalseo Stream allowed O. niloticus to survive in winter and maintain stable growth conditions and life cycles. The results of this study will inform ecological information on O. niloticus, which suggests that river management efforts should consider the management of O. niloticus populations for the conservation of fish species diversity.

본 연구는 온배수가 유입되는 대구시 달서천을 대상으로 나일틸라피아의 개체군 특성을 파악하기 위해 2019년 1월부터 11월까지 조사를 실시하였다. 물리적 서식환경분석 결과 낮은 수심과 자갈, 모래/진흙의 비율이 높은 하상구조를 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이화학적 서식환경 분석 결과 달서천의 전기전도도(EC)는 매우 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 기온 및 수온 분석 결과 달서천은 연중 10℃ 이상의 수온을 지속적으로 유지하는 것으로 나타났으며, 금호강은 3월부터 10℃ 이상의 수온을 유지하는 것으로 확인되었다. 어류상 조사결과 총 8과 20종 4,247개체가 출현하였다. 상대풍부도 분석 결과 나일틸라피아가 1,306개체(30.75%)로 우점하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 조사 시기별 나일틸라피아 개체수 분석 결과 6월 30일 조사 시 급격한 개체수 증가를 보였다. 나일틸라피아 개체군의 길이-무게 분석 결과 회귀계수 b값은 3.1496으로 나타났으며, 비만도지수(k) 기울기는 0.0025로 양의 기울기로 분석되었다. 조사시기별 달서천의 수온과 나일틸라피아 전장을 비교·분석한 결과 22℃ 이상의 수온을 유지하는 5월 29일 조사시 당년생 개체가 출현하였다. 전장빈도 분포 분석 결과 당년생은 0~110 mm, 1년생~2년생은 120~210 mm, 2년생 이상의 개체는 >210 mm의 범위로 추정되었다. 나일틸라피아 개체군 생식소중량지수(GSI) 분석 결과 수컷과 암컷 모두 3월 11일 조사시 중앙값이 가장 높았으며, 3월 이후 중앙값은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 나일틸라피아의 개체 무게(BW), 생식소중량(GS), 생식소중량지수(GSI) 간의 상관 분석 결과 개체 무게가 유사더라도 암컷 개체의 생식소중량과 생식소중량지수가 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 결과적으로 달서천에 서식하고 있는 나일틸라피아 개체군은 온배수로 인해 겨울철에도 생존이 가능하며, 안정적인 생활사를 유지하고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 수온이 10℃ 이상으로 상승하는 3월 이후부터는 달서천에서 금호강으로 서식처 이동이 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 금호강을 중심으로 나일틸라피아 개체군의 서식 분포 파악을 통해 나일틸라피아 개체군 관리 및 담수어류 종다양성 보존을 위한 하천관리 방안 마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
