Abstract

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries promoted the installation of eel-ladder for the purpose of creating inland water resources. Currently, eel-ladder have been installed and operated at the Geumgang Estuary Bank (2018), Yeongam Embankment (2019), and Asanman Embankment (2020). In this study, the number of glass eels in eel-ladder in 2021 was monitored and factors affecting the rise that from ocean to river of eels were investigated. Glass eels in eel-ladder were found when the salinity was relatively low, and they started when the freshwater and seawater temperatures were above 20℃. Comparing the number of occurrences by year, the largest number of glass eels was observed in 2021, but it is judged that this is not according to the distribution of glass eels in sea, but rather as a result of the investigator's eel-ladder repair and guidance on illegal fishing.

해양수산부에서는 내수면 자원조성을 목적으로 뱀장어 전용어도 설치사업을 추진하였으며, 현재 금강하굿둑('18년), 영암방조제('19년), 아산만방조제('20년)에 뱀장어 전용어도가 설치되어 운영중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 2021년 뱀장어 전용어도의 실뱀장어 소상 개체수를 모니터링하고 소상에 영향을 주는 요인들을 조사하였다. 뱀장어 전용어도의 실뱀장어 소상은 염분이 비교적 낮을 때 많았으며, 담수와 해수 수온이 20℃ 이상일 때 시작되었으며, 조석(소조기, 대조기, 기타시기)에 따른 차이는 없었다. 연도별 출현 개체수를 비교하였을 때 2021년에 가장 많은 소상 개체수가 관찰되었으나, 이는 해측 실뱀장어의 분포량에 따른 것이 아닌 조사자의 어도 보수와 불법 조업의 계도에 따른 결과로 판단된다.
