초록

본 연구는 2020년 5월부터 10월까지 4대강 사업의 하나로 준공된 8개의 낙동강 보 구간에 서식하는 저서성 대형무척추동물의 생물다양성 변화와 군집분석을 수행하였으며, 2010년부터 2020년까지 약 10년간의 저서성 대형무척추동물 주요 분류군에 대한 변화상을 분석하였다. 조사결과 저서성 대형무척추동물은 총 3문 5강 18목 52과 83속 97종 128.1개체/m2가 출현하였으며, 오염지표생물인 깔따구류(Chironomidae sp.)와 실지렁이류(Tubificidae spp.)가 전체적으로 우점하였다. 군집분석결과 우점도지수는 평균 0.62±0.20이고 다양도지수는 1.87±0.63로 낙동강 보 상류에서 가장 안정적으로 분석되었다. 낙동강 보 중앙부에서는 실지렁이가 우점하였으며, 칠곡보와 강정고령보에서 가장 불안한 군집구조가 나타났다. 군집안정성 분석결과 상대적 회복력과 저항력이 높은 특성군I이 높게 나타났으며, 저항력과 회복력이 낮은 특성군III이 소수 분포하는 것으로 나타나 현재 낙동강 보 구간의 군집은 매우 불안한 상태로 분석되었다. 섭식기능군에서는 잡아먹는무리가 비교적 높게 출현하였고, 썰어먹는무리, 모아먹는무리, 걸러먹는무리는 낮게 나타났다. 서식기능군에서는 굴파는무리와 기어오르는무리가 우세하게 출현하여 대부분 용존산소가 낮은 정수생태계에서 출현하는 기능군들이 많이 분포하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 주요 법적보호종으로는 상주보와 낙단보에서 멸종위기야생생물 II급인 노란잔산잠자리(Macromia daimoji)가 분포하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 과거부터 10년간의 분석결과 종수와 개체수는 댐 공사 직후에는 증가하였지만, 2016년 이후부터 급감하면서 다시 안정화되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 우점종으로는 깔따구류가 모든 지점에서 우점하는 것으로 나타났으며, 현재 약 50% 수준의 비율로 유지되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. EPT 그룹은 2011년을 기점으로 대폭 감소하였으며, 이중 강도래목과 날도래목은 회복하지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 오염지표생물인 실지렁이류는 2012년 공사 완료 후 증가 추세를 보였으며, 2015년과 2020년에 개체수가 폭발적으로 증가하였다. 멸종위기야생생물 I급으로 지정된 귀이빨대칭이(Cristaria plicata)는 2011년 합천창녕보에서 출현 후 관찰되지 않았으며, 멸종위기야생생물 II급인 노란잔산잠자리는 2015년까지 7개의 구간에서 드물게 확인되었으나 현재 분포 서식처가 급격히 줄어든 것으로 확인되었다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the biodiversity changes and characteristics of the benthic macroinvertebrate community in the Nakdong River with eight weirs, which was constructed as one of the Four Major River Restoration Projects from May to October 2020. The study also includes the analysis of changes in the major groups of benthic macroinvertebrates for about ten years, from 2010 to 2020. The surveys collected 97 species of benthic macroinvertebrates belonging to 83 genera, 52 families, 18 orders, five classes, three phyla, and 128.1 individuals/m2. Chironomidae sp. and Tubificidae spp., which are pollutant indicators, dominated throughout the sections. The community analysis result shows the average dominant index and the diversity index of 0.62±0.20 and 1.87±0.63, respectively, and indicated the most stability of the freshwater ecosystem in the upper stream of the Nakdong River. The survey showed dominance by Chironomidae sp. at the center of the Nakdong River weir and the most unstable community in Chilgok and Gangjeong Goryeong weirs. The results of the community stability analysis showed a high distribution of the characteristic group I with high resilience and resistance and small distribution of characteristic group III with low resistance and resilience, indicating a very unstable condition of communities in the Nakdong River weir section. Predators were relatively abundant among the functional feeding groups (FFGs), whereas shredders, gathering-collectors, and filtering-collectors were relatively lower. Among the habitat orientation groups (HOGs), burrowers and climbers were dominant, indicating a wide distribution of groups in ecosystems with low dissolved oxygen. An endangered species level II of Macromia daimoji was found in Sangju and Nakdan weirs. The analysis results for 10 years from 2010 showed that the number of species and populations increased immediately after the dam construction but plummeted in 2016 and are now stabilizing. Chironomidae spp. has been dominant in all sections over the past 10 years, and they are currently maintained at a rate of about 50%. The EPT groups have decreased significantly since 2011, and the Plecoptera and Trichoptera of the group have not yet been restored. The population of Tubificidae spp. showed an increase after construction was completed in 2012 and drastically increased in 2015 and 2020. The species of Cristaria plicata, designated as endangered species level I, has not been observed since 2011 in Hapcheon Changnyeong weir. Moreover, Macromia daimoji was rarely observed in seven weirs until 2015, and it has been confirmed that the current distribution habitat has decreased rapidly.
