Abstract

The community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates in the Madongho Wetland protected area and inflow river located in Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, was investigated in 2022 and 2023. We collected and identified 3,582 individuals belonging to 7 classes, 23 orders, 51 families, and 78 species over the 2 years from six sites. Gnorimosphaeroma naktongense was the dominant species with a ratio of 20%, and Caridina denticulata denticulata was the subdominant species with a ratio of 13.32%. Predators and gathering collectors were the most abundant in the functional feeding group, while sprawlers were the most diverse and numerous in the habitual dwelling group. Diversity, richness, dominance, and evenness were calculated as the biological indices. In addition, various biological water quality indices were calculated. Most insects in the inflow rivers belonged to group I in evaluating relative resistance and resilience, showing high colony stability. The results of analyzing the correlation between salinity and substrate particle size with brackish water species showed that Gnorimosphaeroma naktongense and Hediste japonica had a significant positive correlation with salinity, while Assiminea lutea and Neomysis awatschensis had a significant positive correlation with substrate particle size. Additionally, Sinelobus kisui was found to be a new record of Korean Tanaididae in this study.
