Abstract

This study was conducted on October 23, 2020 at the Cheongpyeong Reservoir located in Seorakmyeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and analyzed the horizontal and vertical distribution patterns of fish based on data obtained using fishfinder. The total surface area of fishfinder survey conducted was 782,853 m2, and where the water depth (WD) ranges from 10 m to 12 m is widest which 31.7% of total surface area. As a result of the heat map analysis, fish density was highest at right bank under the Gapyeong-bridge, but there was no specific pattern in horizontal distribution of fish. As a result of vertical distribution of fish analysis, 86.6% of fishes are observed at below 6 m of the fish depth (FD, distance from water surface to fish). As a result of the relative height (RH, water depth-distance from bottom to fish ratio) analysis, there was a tendency that fishes are distributed in near surface area more as the WD increased. This tendency could have various reasons such as water temperature gradient along the water depth, and further studies are required for detailed explanation.

본 연구는 2020년 10월 23일에 경기도 가평군 설악면에 위치한 청평호에서 수행되었으며, 어군탐지기를 이용해 획득한 자료를 기반으로 어류의 수평 및 수직 분포 패턴을 분석하였다. 어군탐지 조사가 수행된 구간의 총 수면적은 782,853 m2였으며, 수심(water depth, WD)이 10~12 m인 구간이 전체 수면적의 31.7%로 가장 넓게 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 다양한 WD 구간별로 어류의 개체 밀도 산출 결과, 4~6 m 구간에서 0.98 개체/100 m2로 가장 높게 나타나, 수면적 대비 가장 많은 어류가 분포하는 것으로 확인되었다. Heat map 분석 결과 청평호 구간에서는 가평대교의 우안측에서 어류의 밀도가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 수평 분포 특성에서 특별한 경향성은 확인할 수 없었다. 어류의 수직분포 분석 결과, 어류가 관측된 수심(Fish depth, FD)이 6 m 이하인 경우가 전체 관측 대비 86.6%로 나타났다. 수심 대비 어류의 관측 수심(Relative height, RH) 분석 결과, 수심이 깊어질수록 어류가 상대적으로 표층에 분포하는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 관련해서는 수체의 수심별 수온 차이 등 다양한 원인이 있을 것으로 예상되며 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
