Abstract

Seasonal variations in the community structure of larval fish assemblage in the coastal waters off Gadeok-do were investigated in May, August and November of 2019, and February in 2020. During the study period, a total of 85 larvae species belonging to 45 families were collected. The dominant species were Engraulis japonica, Gobiidae sp., Clupea pallasii, Decapterus maruadsi, and Callionymidae sp.. These five species accounted for 84.1% of the total number of larvae during the survey period. E. japonica, Gobiidae sp., D. maruadsi, and Callionymidae sp. were the dominant species in the summer, while C. pallasii was the dominant species in the winter. The Species Diversity Index was highest in the summer and lower in the fall and winter months, with the lowest values in the spring. As a result of cluster analysis using the number of individual larval fish showed that they are divided into four seasonal groups. In particular, due to seasonal changes in water temperature, an appropriate growth environment was formed in the summer, and an appropriate hatching water temperature for winter spawning fish species was formed in winter, reflecting the seasonal characteristics of the larval fish community.

가덕도 인근해역에서 출현하는 자어 군집에 대한 계절변동을 파악하기 위해 2019년 5월, 8월, 11월 그리고 2020년 2월에 조사를 실시하였다. 조사기간 동안 자어는 총 45과 85개 분류군이 출현하였다. 우점종은 멸치(Engraulis japonicus), 망둑어류(Gobiidae spp.), 청어(Clupea pallasii), 가라지(Decapterus maruadsi), 돛양태류(Callionymidae sp.) 등으로 나타났으며, 이들 5종은 조사기간 중 출현한 자어 전체 출현개체수의 84.1%를 차지하였다. 멸치와 망둑어류, 가라지, 돛양태류는 여름철 우점종이었고, 청어는 겨울철 우점종이었다. 종다양도지수는 여름철에 가장 높고 가을, 겨울철로 갈수록 낮아졌으며, 봄철에 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 자어의 출현개체수로 군집분석을 실시한 결과 계절에 따라 4개의 그룹으로 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 특히, 계절적 수온변화에 따라 여름철에는 자어의 적정한 성육환경이 형성되었고, 겨울철에는 겨울산란어종의 적정한 부화수온이 형성되어 자어군집의 계절적 특성을 반영하고 있었다.
