Abstract

Fish fauna was observed off the coast of Busan (Cheongsapo) and Ulsan (Bangeojin) using underwater visual census from November 2016 to October 2017. A total of 1,486 individuals of 25 species in Cheongsapo and 3,859 individuals of 31 species were identified in Bangeojin. Dominant species in the number of individuals were Trachurus japonicus (20.9%), Halichoeres tenuispinis (12.6%), and Chromis notata (11.9%) in Cheongsapo, Siganus fuscescens (42.0%), Pempheris japonica (8.4%), and Chromis notata (8.0%) in Bangeojin. There was no significant difference in the species composition of Cheongsapo and Bangeojin but spring vs. summer, spring vs. autumn, summer vs. winter, autumn vs. winter showed a significant difference. Contribution species of seasonal differences were commonly high rates by Halichoeres tenuispinis and Parajulis poecilepterus. Of the total 38 species, 17 (44.7%) temperate, 6 (15.8%) tropical, and 15 (39.5%) subtropical species observed coastal waters off Cheongsapo and Bangeojin.

우리나라 남해동부해역인 부산(청사포), 울산(방어진) 연안에서 과학잠수조사를 통해 월별, 계절별, 정점별 어류 군집구조를 파악하고, 수중에서 어종별 생태학적인 특징을 관찰하기 위해 2016년 11월부터 2017년 10월까지 매월 1회씩 총 1년 동안 부산(청사포)과 울산(방어진) 연안에서 잠수관찰 조사를 실시하였다. 청사포에서는 총 25종 1,486개체, 방어진에서는 총 31종 3,859개체가 확인되었다. 개체수에서 우점한 종은 청사포에서 전갱이(20.9%), 놀래기(12.6%), 자리돔(11.9%) 순이었고, 방어진 연안에서는 독가시치(42.0%), 주걱치(8.4%), 자리돔(8.0%) 순이었다. 청사포와 방어진 두 해역별 종 구성에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었지만 봄 vs. 여름, 봄 vs. 가을, 여름 vs. 겨울, 가을 vs. 겨울은 차이가 있었다. 계절별 종 조성 차이에 기여한 종은 놀래기와 용치놀래기가 기여율이 높았다. 청사포와 방어진 연안에서 관찰된 총 38종 중 17종(44.7%)이 온대성, 7종(18.4%)이 아열대성, 14종(36.8%)이 열대성 어종이었다.
