Abstract

The macroinvertebrate community in the Singal reservoir, Yedang and Juam lake was investigated three times from April 2021 to October 2021. Each lake was investigated by dividing it into inflow, middle-flow, and outflow. Additionally, sampling was conducted again by dividing it into the edge and center parts at each inflow, middle-flow, and outflow. Eight families of benthic macroinvertebrates were collected except for chironomids in the sampling sites. Dominant macroinvertebrates were investigated as chironomids, and Tubificidae was sub-dominant organisms. The density of macroinvertebrate community was higher in the edge area than in the center bottom of the lakes. The density of chironomids was low when the water level was high but was high when the water level was low. In the edge area of the middle-flow in Singal reservoir, the density of chironomids was 1,208 ind. m-2 in April when the water level was high, but it increased to 1,401 ind. m-2 in July when the water level was low. Similarly, the density of chironomids at the outflow of Yedang lake was high (1,990 ind. m-2) in July when the water level was low. The density of chironomids also decreased along with the increasing water level at all edge areas of Juam lake. These results indicated that it will be necessary to consider the water level when studying macroinvertebrate communities in the lake.

신갈지와 예당호, 주암호는 각각 소·중·대형호로 도시형 호소, 농업형 호소, 산지형 호소를 대변한다. 세 호소의 저서무척추동물 군집 조사 결과, 우점 저서무척추동물은 깔따구류로 조사되었고 실지렁이과가 아우점 생물로 나타났다. 저서무척추동물 군집 밀도는 호소의 호내부 저층보다 수변부에서 밀도가 높게 나타났다. 하지만 수변부의 저서무척추동물 군집 중 우점 생물인 깔따구류의 밀도는 수위가 높을 때는 낮게 나타났으며 수위가 낮을 때 밀도가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 신갈지의 중앙 지점의 수변부에서는 수위가 높은 4월에는 깔따구의 밀도가 1,208 ind. m-2으로 조사되었으나 수위가 낮은 7월에는 1,401 ind. m-2으로 증가하였다. 예당호의 중앙 지점 수변부의 수위가 낮았던 7월에는 깔따구류의 밀도가 2,171 ind. m-2으로 다른 시기보다 높게 나타났다. 수위가 낮았던 7월의 예당호 유출 지점 깔따구류 밀도는 1,990 ind. m-2으로 조사되어 수위가 높았던 4월과 10월에 비해 깔따구류의 밀도가 높았다. 주암호의 수위는 4월에 100.2 EL.m로 9월의 103.7 EL.m로 조사되었으며 해당 기간 유입 지점 수변부 깔따구류 밀도는 4월에 1,340으로 9월의 236 ind. m-2으로 조사되었다. 주암호 중앙 지점도 4월에는 2,294 ind. m-2으로 9월에 비해 밀도가 높았으며 4월 유출 지점의 수변부 깔따구류 밀도는 1,620 ind. m-2으로 조사되었으나 수위가 올라간 9월에는 깔따구류가 출현하지 않았다. 따라서 차후 호소에서 저수무척추동물 군집 조사는 해당 호소의 수위를 고려하여 조사할 필요가 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 호소에서 저서무척추동물의 조사 및 평가 방법 개발에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
